This is why the Beatles remasters were such a big deal. So...yeah. There's that indeed.

Especially when it comes to compilations (my favorite being this rare blues compilation that belonged to my step dad in the 60s). There's also something to be said for having two sides or how artists slipped extra tracks into CDs... the first time I heard Stop Making Sense on a CD I thought it was some sort of Best Of. But yeah, probably the best thing is that a record (other than absolute nostalgia for a time before you were born) is that it's such a minor financial commitment. You can try out something you've never heard of without shelling out more that a dollar or two.
