A special 180 gram vinyl LP reissue of Big Pink, produced using analog cutting from analog tapes, was released by EMI in 1999 as part of their Centenary series. A limited edition Japanese CD, with very nice artwork and covers, but horrible lyrics transcriptions, came in 1998.
In August 2000 Capitol Records released a remastered Music from Big Pink, produced (mostly) from the original master tapes, with 9 bonus tracks and a booklet with liner notes by Rob Bowman included (Band biographer Barney Hoskyns wrote the original liner notes for the 2000 reissue, but they were rejected by Capitol/ Robertson.)
EMI/Capitol Special Proucts released Music From Big Pink on DVD-Audio in January 2003. This disc, produced by Robbie Robertson, includes complete lyrics on screen, photo gallery and discography.
