Wanted to post something that is technically a new release of sorts, even if of old material, so why not start a new thread devoted to reissues, compilations and the like. Stumbled on this which seems to have come out just last month from a reissue specialist that seems to have had little connection with soul music but has got the rights of Edwin Starr's work with Peter Stringfellow's Hippodrome Records. Not entirely the complete collection as the 12" mix of "It ain't fair" is not included, but otherwise everything seems to be in order:

Something else just out is this three-on-one compilation of Whispers albums, covering their early days with Solar/SoulTrain (mid to late 70s), including the Philly-produced opener:

Recently LA-based Blixa Sounds reissued 4 of Linda Clifford's Curtom albums. I was eager to get my hands on the Isaac Hayes-produced I'm Yours album from 1980, featuring "Shoot your best shot". Pleased to say that the quality is good in all respects and I'll be acquiring the other titles in the weeks to come.

Recently picked up the reissued Carrie Cleveland lp from Kalita.  I got the test press with the 45 as well.
