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.

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.

Yeah but Jethro Tull aren't metal so they don't count. :)

Do you guys remember that year they one best heavy metal band at the Grammy's? I mean WTF. I mean that's like saying George Bush Jr. is a Nobel Laureate.

I don't think metal bands really have to adapt much lower standards of sound reproduction, just because "they are metal". That's like saying- metal fans must suffer listening to their favorite music (it's plenty of suffering even without the artrocious sound quality)
