Regina's album doesn't appear on Qobuz or iTunes (US). I wonder if in 2026 someone will reissue the album for it's 40th anniversary. This one hit wonder vanished all these years later.

As was noted upthread, the artist, who apparently owns the rights to the song has no interest or desire in making this song available. I suppose if
it's PD in some corner of the world someone could reissue it, but given it's a relatively forgotten song by a one-hit wonder the chance of that
happening is slim.

If it never made a comp in 39 years, it isn't likely to make anything with the CD declining in popularity. Hykker is right even the 40th anniversary isn't going to generate an expanded edition or reissue. It remains one of the few top 10 hits of the 80's unavailable digitally. It is a shame.
Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

Hi there— 
I’m really curious as to who you were in contact with about licensing the song. I ask because I actually work for Regina and have since 2018, and can confirm we have never spoken. I can also confirm Regina does not currently own the rights to her original recording, nor would she object to its inclusion on any compilation, etc. If what you say is true, we would not be releasing a re-recording of the track next week. She is not at all ashamed to have recorded “Baby Love”. I just wanted to clear the air about this. I don’t like seeing false information out there regarding this matter.

Hi Ray, welcome to the forum! The post you're referencing from 2020 is from Mark Mathews, who sadly passed away a couple years ago. He worked for Eric Records, a company that has released several various artist CD compilations. Thanks for clearing up any misinformation about Regina's feelings toward the song.

What's the story behind the re-recording?
