Not likeing remasters - Are origingal 90's Vinyls worth it?

I have had very bad luck with 90s vinyl. Best to stick with 80s and earlier. The real problem is CD was dominant by this time, which caused albums to start running 50 mins and longer. When they tried pressing that to 1 LP, it sounds lifeless and boring. Definitely look at runtimes per LP side. You want that to be 23 mins a side or less.

Of course there are exceptions. I have the very limited pressing of Alice In Chains’s 3 legged dog album on 2LPs and it’s about as good as hard rock / metal can possibly sound on any format! 
 

@dman777 digitally remastered albums suck for the most part. Vinyl or digital. 
I buy either the original or new reissues done in full analog preferably by Kevin Gray, Bernie Grundman, Scott Hull, etc.

Look for Analog Productions, Rhino High Fidelity, Craft, Blue Note Tone Poet for jazz. 
One exception of digital recording transferred to vinyl in my collection is the Nils Lofgren Live done by Analog Productions. Jaw dropping good. 

@mulveling oh no.... I only like 90's music mostly for vinyl. I just spent 5k on a turntable system.... I wonder now if I made a mistake. 

@audphile1 is it possible to get a re-issue from a 90's album on vinyl and not have it remastered? Not sure what to look for. 

@dman777 yes it’s possible. Depends on what you’re looking for. All reputable sites that sell vinyl will disclose in the description whether or not it’s a remastered version. You can also use AI and ask the question. Whenever you see digitally remastered, stick with streaming. It ain’t worth it vinyl. Also, if you have CDs, same applies. 
 

@dman777 well there are gems out there. My main advice would be to keep an eye on the runtime per side! The remastered / digitally mastered thing doesn’t matter as much as that. In fact I’ve been perfectly happy with some digital masters. Another example - The Smith “The World Won’t Listen” was originally issued one 1 LP and its runtime is too long for that - sound bad. The reissue was actually done on 2 LP and sounds much much better! Nirvana Nevermind isn’t too long and sounds awesome on some pressings (Pallas). Perl Jam Ten has sounded awful on every incarnation I’ve had - even the original issue I paid big bucks for. The MTV Unplugged series tend to sound phenomenal, even if reissued. Some of the early Stone Temple Pilots sound great. I like Dinosaur Jr but the album I have from them circa 2010s doesn’t sound great on vinyl.
