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.

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

I saw Metallica in '86 opening for Ozzy. They blew him away. They we're incredible. I also saw the in'89 for the Monsters of Rock show. They we're better than anyother bank there.

Tvad,

Yes there is a big difference between the original Master of Puppets and the 5 rpm re-issue. There are subtleties in the interplay between the two guitars that you can't hear on the original. Also, it just sounds more "live". Same goes for Ride the Lightning.
