Vanity/Apollonia reissues?

I wonder how long it will take Warners to reissue Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6? Those being out of print has always baffled me, but surely someone at the label will figure out pretty quick that they need to be put back into circulation.

Those would seem to be the easiest to do, since they were straight Warners releases. I imagine all the Paisley stuff (Madhouse, Family, Jill Jones, etc.) is more complicated since it was a joint venture, but Warners straight up owns V6 and A6 (unless those masters reverted with Prince's, but I don't think they did since the Time and Sheila E albums didn't).

Anyone have any insight on this? Anyone wanna wager over/under on how long it will take them to cash in in the easiest way possible? smile

I could see maybe Big Break Records reissuing those titles since they have been releasing some of WB R&B catalog over the past 6 months or so. But, I don't see Warner Brother directly reissuing those titles.

WB lost all rights to nearly all Paisley Park releases in 1994 but yeah, they're free to do whatever with the 6's.

I hope it happens, along with all the other protege albums from the 80s.

They should reissue BOTH V6 and A6 on a single CD with bonus 12" mixes for 'Drive Me Wild', 'Sex Shooter', and the previously unreleased 'Vibrator' (V6) as a bonus.
