If a company reissues a record, a book, a film, or a game, it produces it again and puts it on sale after it has not been available for some time. The old work comes back, often with a new cover, new notes, or a cleaner copy, but it is still that same work, not a brand-new remake. As a noun, a reissue is that new run itself: a vinyl reissue of a 1970s album. Music shops, publishers, and collectors use both the verb and the noun a lot. Though actually, officials also reissue a passport or a licence — they give you a new copy of a paper — but when people talk about a reissue in shops, they almost always mean the book, the record, or the game coming back. The word is practical and a little specialist, quite at home in reviews.
