The longer a record stayed on the charts, the more copies were pressed within limits-many of the small independent labels lacked the resources to get enough product on the street even when they had a hit record. Even major (top ten) hits disappeared fairly quickly, which lead to the collectors market even in the 50's, and the reissue business-the first Oldies But Goodies album came out in 1958.

In 1986 I asked for Dead Kennedys' California Uber Alles (1979) and was told that it would be back in stock next week!! The limited edition stuff seemed to begin when bands/record labels realised that this was a good way of selling stuff faster and getting it higher in the chart, particularly if they had a big, loyal following (Iron Maiden and Manic Street Preachers both used this ploy to get no 1 singles).
