Van Halen on 200 gram vinyl?

I grew up in LA dring the 80's and I loved Van Halen. I see VH's first album is being offered on 200 gram vinyl, remastered, etc. But, is it really worth it? I mean Van Halen on heavy vinyl? Isnt the c/d or standard issue enough. Same with Ac/DC reissues and frickin Twister Sister. If anyone of you works for a record manufacturer please urge your employers to reissue decent stuff. Can anyone else suggest a record that does not warrant reissue?

I beleive the thread was not so much about quality of recordings or weights.... I beleive Tbromgard's post was more on the choices of bands and albums they choose to re-issue, and others (personal) opinions on that subject. Personaly myself I would just like to see more and more being re-issued to have more genre's and era,s to choose from. Cheers

the original pressing of VH's 1st album was already pretty 'hot stamped' at least the copy I had and had ALOT of high frequency extension and information, a bit too tipped up actually.. I would look for an original 1st gen. pressing from 1978... and clean it GOOD.

Has2be is correct, its the choice of the reissue I dont understand. Twisted sister was lame when it first came out, as if it needs to be reissued.
