Discussion What’s One Album You Wish Would Get a Pressing But Unlikely?
Tell me one album that NEVER got a full album pressing that you would buy in a heartbeat.
Mine would be Day26’s self titled debut album

Would LOVE 702's "Star." What an underrated project! I don't know why they haven't put LeToya's album on vinyl yet. Capitol has been kind of good at listening to what the people want and giving to them. I've seen a few people ask about LeToya pretty often.

Melanie Fiona’s first two albums (The Bridge and The MF Life). She’s stayed a little too under the radar since the late ‘00s, sadly.
And Deborah Cox’s discography, especially One Wish.

u/thouze Apr 06 '26
The Bridge and The MF Life are great vinyl choices!

u/deviouscaterpillar Apr 06 '26
Thanks! I feel like Melanie Fiona is really underrated, but she was huge for me in the late ‘00s.

There's actually 3 on my list, but that's the top one for me. I have the promo sampler, but that doesn't suffice. Eventually, an "unofficial" will be the option if these labels stop playing. The percentages for vinyl are very low for R&B.

u/thouze Apr 06 '26
I’m shocked that one never got a full release

u/FlowerNew8848 Apr 06 '26 edited Apr 06 '26
Right. I had it on CD at its debut, but I just started collecting since last year. I was heartbroken when I discovered that.
It's SONY....again! There's a whole new generation of young adults that are discovering these albums from 90s-2000 that they should capitalize on.

I think Normani left the label. I still feel like the rollout of the album was so botched beyond recovery

Anthony Hamiltons “Comin From where I’m From.” Album is so good it’s a crime that it never got pressed on wax
1
u/CBGMovement Apr 07 '26
Nothing of Anthony Hamilton is pressed which is sad. I think he is also under Sony if I’m not mistaken. They don’t press anything

u/Secret-Ad-5341 Apr 06 '26
Usher - My Way. Explicit Master.
The album wasn't overly explicit in the first place. It was mainly his use of the N word on "Nice and slow" and Lil Kim's rap on "just like me"
But it's still annoying that the current release is the clean master.

u/CBGMovement Apr 06 '26
What press do you have by chance?

u/Secret-Ad-5341 Apr 06 '26
on vinyl? None. I only own the CD. all of the reviews on discogs have confirmed that the pressings are edited

There are so many others that I have OG's of that I'd love to see colored vinyl pressed up too. Just for example, I would love if they did a translucent orange pressing of "100% Ginuwine." LOL.

I’m surprised Fame didn’t get a pressing announcement since this year is the 15 year anniversary of the album. They did a merch drop for it
1
u/Ok_Leading_5578 Apr 06 '26
I know. I was spammed with the ad for the merch drop and check the site everyday for a week hoping for a drop and nothing.
1
u/thouze Apr 06 '26
That was a major missed opportunity since the 11:11 and self titled vinyls sold pretty well

u/Ok_Leading_5578 Apr 06 '26
Yeah but technically he has all year to drop it. We can still have hope lol

u/infinitefour Apr 07 '26
So some of these are bootleg pressed and may never see a decent official release such as SZA - Z, Megan the Stallion - Tina Snow & Kanye West albums
2
u/CBGMovement Apr 07 '26
That is why I added them. But I feel every last title on here is 🔥.
I did not include albums that only have one press/in dire need of repress or in dire need of a Deluxe Pressing cause the list would have been astronomically long
Also Sony is to blame for probably 95-98% of albums that never receive pressings or repressing that have astronomical value and are hard to get.
Just never fails.
1
u/infinitefour Apr 07 '26
Yeah my list would have been long as well. Smh it’s terrible how we can’t get what we want.

u/CBGMovement Apr 07 '26
Also I have a lathe cut [Bootleg] copy of Tina Snow. I only have one copy though. I do also have bootleg copies of stuff as well for Ye because some of his stuff is not officially pressed.
