I thought this could be a fun topic. Not really as much of a "wishlist" as much of a "what you think is actually possible based on trends" topic -- We can then look back and gloat that we were right

I think, in 2016...

Gorillaz - Demon Days will be repressed by MOV

The Killers - Hot Fuss will get a repress

Taylor Swift Fearless and Self/Titled will get their first vinyl pressings

Freelance Whales - Weathervanes will get a repress

Shpongle will have a box-set come out with all of their albums on vinyl

Telefon Tel Aviv - Fahrenheit Far Enough will get a repress

Pink Floyd will get a discography box set much like The Beatles' one

Jack White will make no less than 3 zany gimmick records

I hope you're right about the Freelance Whales repress. I used to talk to their old bassist on Twitter all the time and she said a repress was coming soon but that was right after Diluvia came out. It's beyond time.

I was just thinking the other day how awesome a Pink Floyd box would be.  It would be something I would probably go for, even though I already own almost all of their albums.  I bet it will happen at some point.  With 15 studio albums it will probably $500+ I would imagine.

I love this thread.

 

-Everyone who balked at the price of the Converge LP/blu-ray box will shed tears when the unboxing videos hit the web next month.

-Factory25 will continue to list the Spiritualized 'Live At Union Chapel' LP/dvd set as 'in production' until 2017, as they have since 2013.

-The Body will have 7 different releases spread out over the course of the year, beating Thou's 6, but still short of Bob Pollard's 11.

-Stores will continue to have a sad, lonely, 'RSD releases' section of all the horrid overpriced reissues that absolutely no one wants all year.
