[kj] remasters - VINYL versions

[Christof hamille]

What is the consensus on these?  I have the originals.  I'm going to buy the CDs.  Would I be toooo much of a fan boy to get the vinyl?  
As of now I'm not really driven to get them.  Unless there is more art or something that makes it better than the CDs OR different than the originals (meaning packaging).  I don't really care about 8 kilos of vinyl or whatever.
And does it matter to the band how many of them they sell?  I would think they get an advance off of each initial release and they aren't banking on anything past that.

  I'm with the one that's
  with his fat northern on this topic. BTATS is that: majestic! But opposite to
  you i rate "Sanity" very low (i usually skip it), i hate those
  -right- too cheesy keyboards; but all the rest of the tracks are pretty good.
  "Adorations", "Chessboards", "Victory",
  "Rubicon", "Goodbye to the village" and "Exile"
  are imho outstanding. You should give it another chance Greg. Can't wait to
  get those remasters! Javier •mexico•city•

  I'm with my fat northern namesake on this. 

  

  

  

  Brighter Than A Thousand Suns is majestic.? Sanity is one of my favourite KJ
  tracks;? Rubicon and Twilight of the Mortal aren't far behind. 

  

  The period 84-86 is when Geordie's sound peaked - sadly it has been downhill
  ever since (ditto Jaz's voice).

  Noooooooooooooooooo.....! 

  

  

  

  I love btats but then again it reminds me of being 16 & having a whale of
  a time. 

  

  

  

  

  I can see where you're coming from but imho geordies guitar sound is at it's
  peak on this album (& night time). 

  

  Also his playing is?beautifully?creative. 

  

  OK, synth-poppy track here but the middle 8 & outro on Sanity are
  inspired bits of playing. 

  

  Rubicon is a?truly?hummus?track & again, his playing on that ae geat. 

  

  Adorations again some beautiful playing. 

  

  

  

  

  geordie - he am de-bestest & I drink the moisture from his gusset

  I think you could do a million remixes, remasters, and rerecordings of BTATS
  and it would still sound like lame New Romantic poop. I think it's even worse
  than Outside the Gate (at least that has some good lyrics and interesting
  arrangements).
