Good Time to be a metal fan with a turntable

What a great time it is to be a metal fan. In the past two months I have picked up Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets remastered at 45 rpm, Led Zeppelin The Song Remains the Same re-done by Jimmy Page,Iron Maiden Somewhere Back in Time: 1980-1989, Ac/DC Let There Be Rock, Rush Permanent Waves re-mastered(with Moving Pictures coming out in the fall), amd The Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bullocks(yeah I know they we're technically punk but this album should be in any metal heads collection).

So my question is what would you guys like to see re-issued?

I know for myself I would like to see re-issues of the first two Ozzy albums, and Judas Priest-Screaming for Vengeance.

As a side note- I caught Motorhead live, opening for Dio.
The worst live performance ever (Motorhead), by far.
Outrageously loud, impossible to make-out any lyrics, or music for that matter. I had to leave after about 10 minutes. Came back for Dio- light years ahead.
I cannot possibly understand, how anyone could be a fan!!!
Just my opinion.

555,

Doesn't all the Metal music sound like that?

MegaDeath. Makes me want to go out and buy the LP and play it real loud and fill my house up with lots of DEATH.

Enjoy the HM music with a message.

"Metal" as it were, came a bit after my time. However as a teen I was a fan of Black Sabbath (don't ask me why but it had something to do with Tony Iommi's guitar sound which I used to call "the wall of electricity").
From the 70's I'd like to see:
Deep Purple - Machine Head, and Who Do We Think We Are
Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs, For Earth Below
Black Sabbath - Volume 4
Journey - Look into the Future (1st Journey, before pop sound)
Bad Co - ?
Van Halen 1st
UFO -?
maybe something by Hawkwind?

AudioFeil International: let's hear about your favorite music now, since that's what this thread should have been about in the first place.

Xiekitchen and other Sabbath fans - Earmark records (Italy) has re-released much of the Black Sabbath catalog on 180gm vinyl, I have several of them and they're well worth it. Quiet, good quality vinyl and nice packaging. Easily available in US and not expensive. Hawkwind - wouldn't that be nice, it's hard enough to even find many of their releases on CD!

I agree with the OP, there has been much to celebrate lately in hard rock/metal on the vinyl front, and also live in concert - Heaven and Hell(Dio-lineup Sabbath), Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Rush are all engaged in top-quality tours - I've seen all of them lately and they are at the top of their game.
