no. The demand is not enough for a reissue.
The famous stuff being reissued is because a demand is there because it is a truely great performance/album. The money is not an issue. Many of the high dollar LPs are rare because nobody bought them in the first place. AND because speculators drive up the price. Folks that want stuff BECAUSE it is rare, or because they think it is an 'investment'. A lot of the stuff selling for big bucks would be a total flop if it were reissued.
Much of the stuff that is big dollars had reissues. Like Blue Note LPs. They are some of the highest value Lps and have been reissued many many times.
Those obscure items.. no way. Also, the original tapes may be gone. The owners nearly untracable for a lot of the classical stuff on obscure labels. So a reissue would be a transcription from another LP.
Anyway, if a buck was to be made reissuing something, it would be done.
So do not look for those rare Lps to be made anytime soon.
Though for the jazz collector, some of the finest stuff is being reissued. Ditto Rock, not a lot, but at least some.
