Can I re-distribute a release after a takedown?

If you've had to take down a release, you don't need to recreate it. It's absolutely fine to simply re-distribute. In fact, there are advantages to re-distributing rather than creating a brand-new release.

By retaining the UPC and similar metadata, you can match royalties when you receive reports with the old/original UPC.

And anyway, you might not even need to take down a release. Before you issue that takedown, make sure it's even necessary by reviewing the changes you can and cannot make once your release is distributed.
