Vinyl Back in Black Review

How do the different recordings sound and the quality of the pressing.
This is not about if the original sounds better than the reissue recording, but if it is worth purchasing them on there own merit.
I myself purchase Supertramp - Breakfast in America. To me it sounds muddy and not as clear and crisp as I think a reissue should.
Anyone else listen to these releases.

Reissues suck, there is nothing like the original pressing in my opinion. My best albums were pressed in the late 60's, 70's, and very early 80's.

Pops,
As I said at the start of this thread . This question has NOTHING to do with origial pressings only the sound quality of the reissue in question, not is the orininal release best. I do not agree with you either, not all reissues suck and some are better than the original pressing. You think the original channeled stereo where all music is on the left and vocals on the right or the other way around is the way stereo should be done. They sound like crap to me and I would rather listen to them in mono mode. Purchase the Geoge Martins Beatles LOVE album, thats how they should have been done in the 60's.

I bought the Roxy Music (self-titled) Back in Black and I have never been more disappointed with a record purchase (well, OK, the Amy Winehouse records but that was cheap). It's unlistenable. I've never heard the original pressing so I have no idea if it's just a bad recording (too much overdubbing?) or a really bad pressing.

Anyone have experience with it?

It has made me shy away from the other titles, some of which I really wanted to buy.
