@chakster : You are spot on! I always try to buy original pressings. The new repressings sourced from digital files are not for me! I can just listen to a CD instead and not be concerned with the surface quality!
Ar ethe current LP's available for $25 or so as goos as the old ones.
How about the $1500 plus ones? Are they worth the money to people with more resources than me, or just for people who feel better about always paying a lot to try to have the best of everything?
