Editing Vee-Jay Records (section)

==1980s–present==
The label was revived under new management in 1982 as a dance and R&B label, but closed down in 1986.

In the mid-late 1980s, a one-hour independent documentary film titled “Cradle of Rock and Roll" aired on PBS soon after its completion.  It covered the history of Vee-Jay and [[Chess Records]] in Chicago, which helped to begin a revival of some interest in Vee-Jay's history and catalog. In 1986 [[Motown]] licensed 26 of Vee Jay's soul, blues and R&B hits for a CD compilation, "Hits from the Legendary Vee Jay Records."

In 1993, the Vee Jay Limited Partnership released a 3-CD boxed set, "The Vee Jay Story (Celebrating 40 Years of Classic Hits)," again drawn from the label's R&B, soul, and blues catalog. The package includes a red-vinyl facsimile 45 of the Spaniels' "Goodnite Sweetheart Goodnite."

Under the management of Michele Tayler, the company was reactivated in 1998 as '''The Vee-Jay Limited Partnership'''. Its main office is located in [[Redding, Connecticut]].

[[Collectables Records]] has been remastering and reissuing Vee-Jay albums on audio CD since 2000. A compilation which contains a Best of Vee-Jay box set as well as individual "Best of the Vee-Jay Years" CDs is released by [[Shout! Factory]].<ref>[http://www.shoutfactorystore.com/prod.aspx?pfid=3325291&sid=9F7C038B701F47F599285E71626EB518]  {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070807163044/http://www.shoutfactorystore.com/prod.aspx?pfid=3325291&sid=9F7C038B701F47F599285E71626EB518|date=August 7, 2007}}</ref>
