Are specialist compilations with a thought-out concept, careful message, and painstaking compiling/editing still necessary? My personal answer is a resounding yes!
Reissue music labels, some old, some new, seem to be gaining in prominence. The reasons for that are both artistic and commercial. CDs are on their way to joining 8-track cartridges and cassettes, vinyl records are having yet another comeback, and more and more indie labels are popping up to rescue what they consider artistically valuable material from obscurity.
