Any good tips of any recent releases by bands? I am pretty much on the ball with it all but sometimes things do pass by unnoticed.

But it’s not a vinyl

Is there any point buying these reissues if you already have all the originals? Or is it just commercialism from U2 ?

Nope, the reissues are fine. Some of the early/original pressings were done on very thin and sub-par material (at least in some countries/factories) and there is a sonic benefit from Zooropa now being double vinyl e.g. . Overall I'm very happy with these reissues, value for money. Plus, as far as I'm concerned, the remastering is fine and the music benefits from it, too.

If you have the originals and they still play fine then stick with them. I am a serious collector of U2 for 35 years so have these in the collection. There are noticeable differences for sure but the songs are what they are no matter how cleaned up.

I'm still mad I bought a sealed original Pop pressing off ebay, received it, opened it to play it, and literally days later we were told about the reissues coming.

DAYS LATER.

You could always sell the original pressing to recoup your expenditure as there are people who seek out that particular original pressing.

Cheers will stick with the originals and save myself £100
