Don,
So do I. I wish Sony would remaster a lot of other wonderful things too, but the corporate belief is that reissues that cost money (i. e., ones that require work from an analog source) won't sell in sufficient numbers to make a profit, except in very rare exceptions. I'd like to believe that they are wrong about that, but it is certainly true that reissue sales have been plummeting for years. As an illustrative example, back in the mid 1990s, one year I remastered 65 CDs, and BMG issued 350. Last year, I remastered 3 CDs.

Seconded.
I only wish there were more.
