Remastered artists you would like to see

Considering how many smaller bands have had their catalogs remastered with bonus tracks, these are a few in need of being reissued:

Beatles - Why the greatest band of all time has not had theirs done is beyond me.

U2
Prince
Bruce Springsteen

Mary Chapin-Carpenter
Steve Winwood

I've been told it is because the 1987 versions still continue to sell at a brisk pace, despite their $19 list price. Until sales start to fall, there is no incentive for the record companies to go to the expense of creating a new, improved version.

I'd also like to see remasters of all U2 CDs through "Actung Baby." Remasters of Depeche Mode's "Music For The Masses" and "Violator" would be great too. Call me crazy but I'd rebuy dozens of 80's albums if they were remastered.

a remastered version of Springsteen & The E Street Band's BTR will be released next month for its 30th anniversary

thankfully it does not tack on 'bonus' tracks

no need to mess with perfection

Call me when you do. I would probably buy most of your originals.

I like reissues not remasters. What format/s should stuff be remastered/reissued to? I think it's just become a royal scam to keep redoing CD's over and over. I'd suggest that it's mostly a waste unless they move on to the new, better formats.

Uh, how come nobody's mentioned the most obvious choice for remastering?

Rachael,

I agree with you in most cases, but some cds were so bad sounding when they were released, they need to be remastered. I can think of several in my collection that have been replaced and I am glad they were remastered because they sound much better.
