The first "bonus" tracks I think of are Miles Davis 'Complete' Bitches Brew. (I own the 2 eye LP, the regular CD and the complete box set)
I am very pleased they released the complete sessions.
As for other Cds... Some do get boring when they add incomplete added takes of the same numbers, but others have additional tracks. The added tracks are usually very interesting.. and (as most audio crazies) I always have the original anyway...
The question is do you want it?, and if not then DO NOT BUY IT. Very simple.
As for remastering.. some are good, and some are bad.
What I want in reissued CDs are the original music videos WITH THE CD. I think that is an area the recording companies are missing out on. Sell the reissues with a bonus DVD with all (any) music videos in 5.1 etc..) For the early MTV generation of rock music this would really sell some more music we all already have.
There is plenty of music I do not care to own.. but if it had the cool original videos just tossed in.. I would buy it.
