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.

I would love to see Aesma Daeva's second album on LP.

Some of the early Therion could be reissued too.

Glory,
Doesn't all the Metal music sound like that?
I don't think it does. On occasion (which is becoming increasingly rare) I do listen to classic rock and some metal. My position on classics, like led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc. is no different, that everybody else's here.
The "newer" groups, like Iron Maiden and Metallica are kind of OK, but I could never include Motorhead in the same company.
Live shows- it's a different subject. Sound quality for the most part is horrible, and that would include shows I attended- Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead.
On the other hand, if every live sound engineer could master a sound like Jethro Tull, Mark Knopfler, James Blunt, or even Rolling Stones, that would be a "whole 'nother story".
I do believe, that many of the rock musicians and their sound engineers are actually deaf after many years of being exposed to dBs.

Tvad,
I agree, I saw them in Philadelphia around 1997- great sound.
This year Iron Maiden- HORRIBLE.
