Reissue Success? Questions....

[Jondalar]

What constitutes a sales success for a reissue? Does anyone know? Also, could good sales lead to a Rock A little reissue? Does the reissue sales totals add to the sales total of the original album? Will it help Bella Donna reach 5x platinum - it's so close?

1. The numbers are very small for these type releases. It's just got to make a profit.

2. If these make money then yes. Plus physical sales are down, so if not now when?

3. No.

4. Bella Donna is under reported. It just has to be updated by the record company
for the RIAA. And that cost money. Guess who pays?

On question #3. I know Elvis has been cheated out of many additional RIAA awards
because albums were re-released with additional songs. And were considered different
releases altogether by the RIAA.
