Welcome to 2024 – let’s kick it off by looking back at some of the best reissues of 2023. Upon further reflection these are incredibly hard to put in any kind of order, so this is simply 15 essential releases that we have featured. Sealed Records (the La vida es un mus reissue label) continue to produce great results and so do Mesh-Key. Dark Entries released one amazing new album last year with the new Loveshadow LP but otherwise they’ve had a great record of reissuing forgotten should-have-been classics.
