I have mp3 long time, but now CD
The Music is one of the most underrated bands ever... stadium rock in small clubs

I have their first album, 'The Music'. Love it.

Ah, but there was stuff on that Boy remaster I didn't have. Plus they needed remastering. Plus Boy would have looked lonely without the other 2

The Radiohead CD's are too new to need remastering and it just smells of label rip-off to me (not sure Radiohead have had anything to do with it).

Also bought a Best Of The Specials CD/DVD...

I believe they're not even remastered. They aren't promoted as such anyway, only as "collector's editions", and I compared a track from OK Computer from the original CD I own with its newly released counterpart in audacity, and they looked exactly the same, apart from maybe 0.1 second more silence in the beginning of the track or something insignificant like that. No extra loudness as you would expect with mastering these days. So the only purpose seems to offer the albums together with all the b-sides from that respective era. Nice if you don't own all the singles and want to buy all the b-sides at once, but not so nice if you already own the original album, which is probably the case for almost everybody these releases are targeted for, namely people who want to own all the b-sides and are willing to pay for them. Therefore I think Radiohead didn't decide for these themselves, because I can't see them fuck with their fans like that; it's probably EMI, who own all their material before In Rainbows. They already pulled that trick with The Best Of, which Radiohead never wanted as well.

Slightly more on topic, but still in a way related to the first part of my post: the last CD I purchased was Kid A from Radiohead.
