Not exactly sure what you mean here.

OU812 was released on LP when it first came out in 1988, I have a copy that I bought recently in a used record shop.

Are you saying that WB is re-releasing it on LP? I don't know why they'd do that.

Is DFP Records affiliated with Warner Brothers? How else would it be legal for them to release OU812 in any format?

Why's everyone complaining? Wasn't the first album re-released on CD and vinyl by DCC? No one complained about that. It might have been a sorta remastered version, but still. Jeez.

i don't get it.
why would there be a re-release of OU812 by anyone at this point?
unless the album was completely remixed from the ground up, why would anyone bother?
certainly, vh is occupied by other things right now, and wb doesn't stand to sell all that much.

this is confusing, at best.

The link says it will be a "limited edition LP."

Could this mean it will include new art, photos...maybe a b-side? Notice Bon Jovi also has a reissue coming from the same company...

If it's significant, ou812 is sure an odd choice to make a statement with...I regard it as VH's weakest album...
