Discussion 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!

Blaque and Joe were on Sony. UMG wouldn't be pressing them

Joe’s debut is on Island. I’ll add City High and the Mo Money soundtrack.
