The subject line says it all. I was surprised to not see this thread, or if it is on the forums, it wasn't under the expected key words when I searched.
Several artists have rerecorded their own songs for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is meant to improve the song(s). On other occasions, an artist simply wants to get new versions of their music onto an album without having to deal with their original record company.
This has been done by everybody from Little Richard & Jerry Lee Lewis to Dokken and Journey. Sometimes bands rerecord a song or two for a later day release. Other times an artist will rerecord a full "greatest hits" album.
Let's talk this over, shall we? Feel free to toss in anecdotes of artists in ANY genre that you know who have done it and what you thoughts were on it.
I'll include my own when I feel this thread needs a cheap bump.
