I'd read that they're being re-issued on the revived Erato imprint, but haven't seen any evidence of it. while browsing the shops.
Any guesses?

If you're talking about the classical catalogue, Erato is what I read as well, but I haven't gone looking to see if any have actually come out. As for the non-classical side, Parlophone Records Ltd is the renamed EMI Records Ltd for the UK, with its new catalogue being split between the Warner Bros. and Atlantic labels in the USA, whereas in the rest of the world it would just be a part of each country's Warner Music company. I would expect the back catalogue to come through Rhino/Warner Strategic Marketing, and it would be nice to see some old EMI reissues in the 5CD Original Albums sets (I neglected to get the Nina Simone reissues when they were out before).

Erato now have the rights to Virgin Classics, not EMI - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erato_Records#Warner_acquisition

Many Erato CD reissues are of Erato LP material, of which there is a large back catalogue. However there is plenty in their lists of more recent and British material, eg John Eliot Gardiner who had a DG signing

Crotchet.co.uk currently lists 132 Erato CDs if you'd like to take
a look

(Update Oct 2024) Crotchet sadly have long since gone; Presto Classical currently list 1,577 titles
