Then a few people buy the records, many don't. The time passes and more people say, hey, what's the deal with this guy, and they find something, want more, and the reissues either do or do not happen.
Moral of the story is - pay attention in real time if at all possible (if you're so inclined), and if not, buy the reissues as they arrive.
Either way, carpe diem.
Oh, DOGON AD also made it out on Artista/Freedom.
