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,
Yes, that's the one- it's not anything new stylistically, but they do sound "fresh" in a sense of attitude and lack of commercialism. Very spontaneous and honest and not calculated, as opposed to Judas Priest "Nostradamus", and IMHO Dream Theater, which to me sounds 100% calculated, artificial and forced. They are good technically, but as many times, as I tried to listen to DT, couldn't get pass through 10-15 min. Same goes for Porcupine Tree. Sorry.
BTW, I can hardly place Dream Theater in metal category.
When I say metal, I really mean Pantera, Anthrax, Motorhead Slayer, etc.

I am a big Judas Priest fan. Would have to agree on the nostradamus album...Kind of a wierd time to go Prog Metal again..

Once again different strokes for different folkes...A great band nonetheless....

In their second album, The Eros of Frigid Beauty, Aesma Daeva single-handedly raised metal to a mature artform. I use the CD for demo at audio shows all the time (track 4) and people always want to know where they can get it.

There are audio tracks on both urls so you can get an idea of what they sound like.
