I dont think anyone would disagree with you. The problem is $$$$. Those remixes of the same album 5 times still sell because the original album sold well. BTM did not sell well and no one (except us) is going to rush out and buy a remix or re-issue of an album that was not that successful to begin with.
The demos and left overs from RAL would make a great reissue of that album. But I have a feeling Stevie is not proud of that era and it may never happen. I have never heard a great demo or left over from OTSOTM. They are all lousy and while I love the album, it was slim pickings to find songs to complete that album. Have you heard Dial the number with Kenny G? Please dont play it while driving near a cliff because you may just drive off at full speed!
