Van Halen on 200 gram vinyl?

Tbromgard,

I wouldn't buy Twisted Sister either, but it seems a little sanctimonious to start pointificating about what deserves a reissue and what doesn't.

You might love Jennifer Warnes, for example - but some audiophiles would prefer listening to an agitated ferret before subjecting themselves to Famous Blue Raincoat.

All you have to do is keep shopping. There are sooooo many vinyl reissues compared to even 5 years ago.

I wish they would stop reissueing the the same albums and pick some new people or differant album from these people. How many new Roy Orbison greatest and Steely Dan AJA amoung others can they come out with.

How many differant vinyl thicknesses do we need either and again as the vinyl gets thicker they have to do another reissue of the same reissues they have done before. VH was done a while ago by DCC at 180 gram. Why not pick a differant VH album. I want new old music not what has already been reissued to death.

I may get the new reissue of the reissue to see if it is better but give me a break will ya, it is getting harder to justify even to myself never mind the wife.

IMHO.

I dont mean to be sanctimonious about what deserves a reissue and what doesn't, and I am 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. There are plenty of records which are good which have not been issued on vinyl let alone reissued 8 different ways. For example: David Grey-White Ladder, or The Killers Hot Fuss, or The Script. There are tons of examples of new and old cd based albums which have not yet been pressed onto vinyl. But whatever-if you like Twisted Sister so much, go buy it.

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?
