Where do people stand on this stuff?
I tell you what I think (you saw that coming!) There's something deeply unattractive and boring about it/them.
In many ways, given the choice between a 180 gram vinyl reissue and a CD reissue (albeit one done with a modicum of style: nice linernotes and few choice bonus tracks) I will go for the CD.
As for the sound quality argument, I'm sorry but I can't BUT think that the mastering process for the vinyl reissue (always apparently from "analogue masters") is going to be compromised, and that in the current production cycle one would be better off with a CD mastering.
