Van Halen on 200 gram vinyl?

very happy vinyl is being pressed again, but I would rather the execs who do the selecting of what gets reissued would use a little more discretion

I am sure that the "execs" use projected sales to select the albums to re-release. And I bet VH's first LP sold a bunch-o-copies and some "exec" sees some big $$$$ in future sales.

Tbromgard-
I'm curious here- What artist do you deem worthy of re-issues?

BTW-As of 2007 Van Halen has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide....

Is it really debatable that Twisted Sister is a crap glam-band from the early 80's, who's music was aimed at adolesent teenage boys? It was recorded and mixed on a crappy first generation digital playback system and compressed? What I was really trying to convey with my thread was my displeasure at the choices the record companies make when choicing which records to reissue. For example MFSL-great company, glad they are in busienss, I own several of their pressings...but for the life of me I cant figure out why they would take so much time and effort to reissue crap from Barry Manilow, Little Richard and Kenny Rogers. Do we really need more of these recordings around-even if it is slightly better sound? Let me know what you think...

Because you have no brain.
