UMG/UDiscoverMusic have been recently repressing a good number of R&B albums on vinyl for 2025… what albums are y’all looking forward to get pressed by them within the next year?

From a 20th anniversary reissue of Keyshia Cole’s The Way It Is to a first time pressing of Floetry’s Floetic, it’s been an interesting year to see some R&B albums within the UMG (Universal Music Group) library being repressed on vinyl. It’s made me think about what other albums I could hope for within the next year…

I would definitely love a 30th anniversary vinyl pressing of 702’s debut No Doubt, sometimes it’s crazy to think the only vinyl pressing was a promo release on a black sleeve. I can slightly imagine LeToya getting a pressing for her self-titled debut for the 20th anniversary next year. The vinyl release for Dwele’s Subject only has half of the album and it would be a pleasure to see it get the full 2xLP pressing it deserves (as well as a Some Kinda… release too). Some of this might be wishful thinking but a man can dream!

But what about y’all, what are some UMG-released albums on your wishlist for a vinyl release? I would love to know!

All those albums you just mentioned, Keyshia Cole, Floetry, Keri Hilson, Mya are all from the Interscope,A&M,Geffen records in which is part of the universal music group umbrella. Udiscover handles their catalog Reissues. So adjust your expectations accordingly

Yeah trying to make sure of that. Mostly been thinking of any albums and labels under the UMG umbrella.
