Originals vs. reissues/current issues

Why would you listen to that album? If I remember, and I do, ELP was voted the worst popular band of all time.

I must say for good reason.

Not sure about that one. They had a progressive fusion thing going on. Works-1 and Tarkus were some of their best work. Works-2 had a few decent tracks but was really no comparison to Works-1. The rest of their albums were hit or miss and the last album from the early eighties was just bad.

ELP, was terrible: period.

My experience with re-issue pressings has been hit-or-miss.
As far as the content - I'm a total music snob, but there's lots of "Bad" music that
I like. Time has been kinder to some musical forms than others.
I wouldn't be caught dead listening to female vocal jazz, but many A'goners love it.

I have never bothered to worry about one reissue or original vs reissue ever.
I have mostly whatever i could find, cheap, used, in great shape.
So I have a few Mobile Fidelity, a few nautilus, and a lot of just whatever it is I have.
I have never tried to compare pressings ((a short jouney into a Hell i have interest in being in!))
So i am just tossing my two cents in to say: nope never bother.
