As far as them being re-released I doubt that will ever happen. Since they were put out on her own private label (Renee LLC), there is most likely a stipulation in her conract with WB that she is no longer allowed to distribute them, probably because they are Country and they record her as a Jazz/Big Band artist, that's probably why "By Request" is still available because it's Jazz/Big Band and WB probably allows it to still be sold if they get a cut of the profits.
I remember a year or two before Renee's 2004 CD was released I found her website (www.rrenee.com) and they were sold on there which is how I first found out she was a singer. As soon as her 2004 CD came out, the www.reneeolstead.com website was up and her old one dissappeared. Most like because of contract agreements with the Record Company.
That's nice, but be warned. Unleashed is a 4track cd. The opening bid is $20.00. $5.00 a song. But and here's the kicker the bid has a reserve, and since I've been watching this cd for the longest time the 'buyit now' and I'll assume reserve is $80.00 or $20.00 a song.
