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.

Has anyone done a comparison of the sound of the LPs in the Metallica 180-gram Vinyl Box Set vs the 45rpm re-issues?

I have to agree with Maril555 on Motorhead in concert. I saw them a few years back at 1st Ave in Mpls with Anthrax and they were so loud and distorted that I left half way through their set. I was glad Anthrax went on before, because they sounded pretty good sonically (for a metal band), plus they are one of my favorite metal bands.

Erfeller,

I have both the Metallica boxed sets and the new re-issues. The re-issues are better. I wouldn't say they are night and day better, but they are certainly a big improvement.

Just came home from Jethro Tull 40 Anniversary Tour show-
that's how every event should sound like in terms of sound quality. Performance was absolutely electrifying.
