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.

I saw Metallica a few years ago in LA...maybe 2005? The sound was excellent, much to my pleasant surprise.

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.

OK. Rock on.

I'd like to see "Toys in the Attic" and "Rocks" issued on 45 rpm.
