Badly needed re-issues

I'm forever grateful that I've always bought each new CD release
as and when it came on the market - thankfully I'm not missing
any albums, especially the really hard to find MCA and EPIC
titles that many fellow fans and collectors seek.
There are only a couple of specialist import dealers here in
Scotland, although there are several down in England who were
able to supply.
A friend down south who collects everything Merle Haggard was a
bit slow off the mark and missed out on "Out Among The Stars"
and "Amber Waves of Grain" on CD, although he did find the vinyl
versions.
I spent a few years writing to BGO Records to try and persuade
them to re-release the missing Capitol titles on their double CD
packages. They eventually did oblige, although I doubt if I can
take any credit, other than persistently badgering them !!!
Scott tells me Hag has the rights for the MCA albums - so lets
hope Merle does the business soon.

I Have found Alot Of Out Of Print Cd's on Ebay. You Will Pay A
High Price For Some Of Them But It Is Worth It. The Last One I
Purchased Was "Amber Waves Of Grain", The Sad Thing Is I Really
Only Care For One Song On The Entire Cd & Album. "The American
Waltz". The Song Is Worth the 150.00 I Paid For The Cd. I Have
The Album & Cassette but Now Everything is Cd in Vehicles, It
The Only way I can listen too the song driving down the road
now.

Ebay (UK) is worth looking at if you are a serious collector -
hard to find albums appear from time to time.

I recently spotted Australian, New Zealand and Netherlands
releases.
