Well I thought I would create this thread, since we are having a bit of a problem compiling our lists for 2007. What I propose, is that if you buy a recent (2008) reissue, you can talk about it here or if you know of something on the horizon, let us know.
I'll start by mentioning the fact that I'm really looking forward to the Big Dipper Reissues. Although March 15 seems like a lifetime away.

Artful Dodger's Honor Among Thieves on January 8. Got mine pre-ordered at deepdiscount.
The Early Years 1967-1970 from Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen on January 15. A two disc set.
Most of Van Morrison's WB catalogue will be reissued with bonus tracks (alternate takes, from what I've heard). The first batch of remastered reissues arrive on January 29.
Ben Vaughn Combo's Beautiful Thing and an expanded version of Wednesday Week's What We Had also on Jan 29.

A reunion of the original Kinks line-up will supposedly coincide with a Kinks box set. Hopefully the set will cover multi-labels and some solo recordings.

This was posted in July of 2007:

Cure fans will have to wait slightly longer for the next instalment of their re-issues. Next in the que are 1989's classic Disintegration, 1990's Mixed Up and 1992's Wish. They won't surface until next year at the earliest. "They're half-ready", Robert Smith says. "I gave up on compiling the extra disc". However fans will be rewarded for their patience. "The extra disc for Disintegration will be great", he says. "It's very atmospheric. There are some strange versions of some of the songs". Meanwhile the remix album Mixed Up will come with a bonus disc of new remakes by "contemporary" remixes. Smith has also discovered the missing tapes for the 80's live concert The Cure in Orange, which will be issued on DVD along with 1993's Show. Rifling through old Cure tapes in his archive isn't only good for material for bonus discs. Smith has uncovered 3 songs which he's reworking for the new Cure album. "I was loath to put them on as extras; I'd thought they'd work well if they were played by this band", Smith says. "One's really early, between Pornography and The Top, from 1983. The other are from the Kiss Me period, 1986-87. I'm sure I'll find more, we did loads of stuff that didn't get used on Disintegration".
Smith is also preparing a comprehensive DVD for The Cure's 30th anniversary in 2009. "It's all the live footage that hasn't come out, lots of TV stuff I've got on video. That's the full stop. Once that's done, that's it for the re-issuing and remastering".

Power Poppers rejoice! In addition to this fine album by Artful Dodger, Wounded Bird is re-releasing the Bangles' back catalog today. While 1988's Everything and 1986's Different Light are spotty, their debut from 1984, All Over the Place is jangle-pop-nirvana.

Though I'd be dead before that was re-released. Sweet heaven on a stick. This is in all likelihood the re-issue of the year...
Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been, Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene; As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be, So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.

I just found out about these Van Morrison Reissues. The first batch came out yesterday, but the only one I'm excited about is Tupelo Honey.

Ah, they failed to reissue my favorite Van Morrison album - Veedon Fleece. I have a copy on cd but it's in need of being remastered. Plus, bonus tracks would be nice- and no skimping on the bonus tracks.

I love VF too, hopefully it will be in the next batch. I'm not sure which "two dozen albums" are set to be reissued, but the first three were all originally on Mercury and so was Veedon Fleece. I'm guessing the Warner Brothers stuff is not going to get the treatment. So we'll have to wait awhile longer for Astral Weeks, Moondance and His Band and the Street Choir, which are part of his extremely solid run of albums from 1968-1974.

Dear Gawd! I love Yep Roc!! I just found out that they are releasing my favorite Nick Lowe Album on February 19th!! It also has the dubious distinction of having the best album title of all time. That's right, The Jesus of Cool gets the 30th Anniversary treatment! You can also stream this whale of an album at the same link. Your welcome.

It's Too Late TO Stop Now (double) is pretty good, I'll have to see the extras on that!

Veedon Fleece is scheduled to come out in the next batch of June 2008. In terms of bonus tracks, Van has been extremely cheap on the first batch. Basically two bonus tracks, with the exception of Its Too Late to Stop Now, where there is only one. No deluxe treatments, which is a real shame.
