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

Every Mofi One Step I have is great. Just got Fleetwood Mac. Fantastic, and I had the original Original Master Recording (which I just sold) which was excellent. Whoever ends up with that one will get a steal for $50. I also have a couple Paul Simons, and Hotel California. Best one is Cannonball Adderely's Something' Else (really a Miles Davis record in most respects). With all the BS about the "digital step" poisoning the airwaves, the resale prices have come down on Discogs and there are some bargains to be had.

Don't get me wrong, Analogue Productions UHQRs are probably slightly better, but they are even more expensive and charge for shipping. They usually don't compete with Music Direct/Mofi on an individual record basis. Best value in my opinion are the AP $60 45s. I'd save $90 and they can keep the excessive packaging. Thay're pretty damn close to the UHQRs. Mofi 45s are excellent also.

@dman777 - if it’s ONLY the 1990s, then you are very limited in finding quality sounding vinyl. If this is unacceptable, maybe best to sell your analog rig before spending on additional vinyl. But if you’re willing to go into other music genres with more high quality content, then maybe it’s worth keeping.  

@dman777  Yes. The ’90s were not a particularly good decade for lp recordings (CD had firmly supplanted vinyl), although Bruce Springsteen’s  original releaseThe Ghost of Tom Joad sounded pretty fantastic when listening to a Versa Dynamics 2.3 turntable and a VAC Renaissance 70/70 SET integrated. The realism was quite good.

Otherwise, I’m sure others can suggest records from that decade. But a great many of those will be reissues, not original recordings.

The recent mtv unplugged releases are very good. 10000 Maniacs, Cranberries. All the Metallica 90’s pressings are great, but they are very expensive. The Fugees original, Suzanne Vega, Stadium Arcadian, Blood Sugar Sex Magic (Any RHCP albums, I think they were audiophiles), Massive Attack- Mezzanine, Beastie Boys…

@nitewulf  Great callouts - MTV unplugged vinyl hasn’t let me down yet. The Alice in Chains and Nirvana are required. RHCP’s BSSM (reissue), "One Hot Minute", and "I’m Beside You" are all absolutely phenomenal on vinyl. I have an OG press of Mother’s Milk that is far less impressive, unfortunately.

Metallica’s Black album 2008 reissue 45 RPM boxset is, bar none, the finest sounding heavy metal album I’ve ever heard on vinyl - it beats my OG 90s copy, which is also very very good. OG copies of "Load" and "Reload" are fantastic. Never been super happy with any press of "Justice for all Yet" - too bad as that’s my favorite. og press of "Master of Puppets" is decent. "Ride the Lightning" OG is excellent; good luck finding a clean copy. Ooops those are 80s! Haven’t tried the newer reissues. 

Warrant "Cherry Pie" OG vinyl is just stupid good sounding, and loads of fun. 

I also have some decent reissues of Faith no More - not as spectacular as the mentions above, but quite serviceable.
