I have found that all the 'extra heavy' LPs sound worse, not better. But if you are playing 80's heavy metal, it doesn't matter anyway, in my opinion.
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?
