2024 in Reissues, Compilations, Box Sets and Rediscoveries

 Unfortunately, I have simply not had sufficient time this year to do this in as much detail as I would like (and I note that I actually stopped in the middle of doing last year’s as well, so at least this is as full a list as I can manage). I will try and narrow this down to a more selective list before the year is out - this is intended as a reasonably comprehensive overview. I wasn’t sure where to put the Lone Justice record, which sits somewhere between being a new album and being a retrospective release. This was also a good opportunity to highlight a couple of 2023 albums that passed me by last year but which were released again in 2024 (Jam City and Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band).
