And Shane, this is the first I've heard of reissues. We, as fans, have often speculated about a B-sides album but that's different from this offering.

I would be shocked if they don't capitalize on the vinyl craze right now. Almost every popular rock band is reissuing their albums on vinyl right now, or have in the past couple years.
And to the second point, I remember and interview with Johnny Fey with the Sun or Canoe right after the Music at Work tour in 2000 stating that they had tossed around the idea of putting out a b-sides album or a boxset. I remember in the same interview he addressed Matt Good accusing The Hip's record label or purchasing The Hip's albums to boost their sales figures. I guess they patched things up as they ended up playing together in the mid-2000's.
Anyways, to the initial point...I'd be very surprised if they come out with re-issues and don't include them on vinyl. This band has done a lot of things that have puzzled me in the last ten years with how they have (not) promoted themselves, used the internet after being one of the trendsetters of the 90's, and not jumping on the bootleg craze (see Pearl Jam, Phish, etc) but not reissuing their albums on vinyl during the resurgence of records would make no sense at all.

Agreed, but I don't know if a band like the Hip would stand to make all that much off of any kind of reissue (CD or vinyl). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
