Classic rock: best remasters

For rock fans just curious what remasters, recent or otherwise, were a quantum leap over the original vinyl or compact disc release. On the flip side, any original CD releases that are still competitive? Not interested in imports, SACD, etc. Thanks rockers!

Generally speaking re-masters suck. Especially if you're talking about an all analogue recording.

For CDs, most of the time I prefer releases from Mobile Fidelity and Audio Fidelity. Many no longer produced, expensive, and sometimes only available used, but worth it to me. Also ones mastered by Bob Irwin or Steve Hoffman.

The Audio Fidelity (AFZLP 112) vinyl remaster of Ten Year's After's A Space in Time is simply stunning. Looks to be sold out everywhere, but I cannot recommend more highly that you try to find a copy.
