Well, they "have" been reissued on CD...sort of.  There's a comp called "All
The Hits By All The Stars" Volume 5 (on Liberty Bell Records, whatever that
is) which, while not exactly "legit", is available at most of your cooler
record stores with good oldies sections.  The sound quality isn't too bad,
either.

I remember telling Evie Sands that a couple of her Cameo/Parkway tunes were
on this comp, and she rushed right out and got it.  Not only that, but one
of these songs, "Billy Sunshine" is now part of her live repertoire!
