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 wish they would stop reissueing the the same albums and pick some new people or differant album from these people. How many new Roy Orbison greatest and Steely Dan AJA amoung others can they come out with.

How many differant vinyl thicknesses do we need either and again as the vinyl gets thicker they have to do another reissue of the same reissues they have done before. VH was done a while ago by DCC at 180 gram. Why not pick a differant VH album. I want new old music not what has already been reissued to death.

I may get the new reissue of the reissue to see if it is better but give me a break will ya, it is getting harder to justify even to myself never mind the wife.

IMHO.

Manilow and Kenny Rogers were big stars at the time of thier releases and as for Little Richard he was huge in his hay day and is a standard. Most music from the 80's and 90's was not recorded well and or they were overdubbed to the hilt. They need something to work with. There were also more one hit wonders around then, you cannot make money if there is only one good song on an album.
