Why buy a first or early pressing and not a re-issue or a ‘re-mastered’ vinyl album?

First and early pressings are pressed from the first generation lacquers and stampers. They usually sound vastly superior to later issues/re-issues (which, in recent times, are often pressed from whatever 'best' tapes or digital sources are currently available) - many so-called 'audiophile' new 180g pressings are cut from hi-res digital sources…essentially an expensive CD pressed on vinyl.  Why  experience the worse elements of both formats?  These are just High Maintenance CDs, with mid-ranges so cloaked with a veil as to sound smeared.  They are nearly always compressed with murky transients and a general lifelessness in the overall sound.  There are exceptions where re-masters/re-presses outshine the original issues, but they are exceptions and not the norm.

First or early pressings nearly always have more immediacy, presence and dynamics. The sound staging is wider.  Subtle instrument nuances are better placed with more spacious textures. Balances are firmer in the bottom end with a far-tighter bass. Upper-mid ranges shine without harshness, and the overall depth is more immersive.  Inner details are  clearer.

On first and early pressings, the music tends to sound more ‘alive’ and vibrant.  The physics of sound energy is hard to clarify and write about from a listening perspective, but the best we can describe it is to say that you can 'hear' what the mixing and mastering engineers wanted you to hear when they first recorded the music.

MULTI-ITEM ORDERS
If eBay's auto-generated invoice DOES NOT (this sometimes happens) calculate the correct shipping discount at purchase, DO NOT pay until we have time to send you a correct invoice with the shipping amount that applies to your purchase.  If you overpay shipping instead of our invoice at time of purchase (this particularily applies to international orders), we are NOT ALWAYS ABLE to refund the full overpaid amount because eBay, Paypal and some other payment services take a percentage of the shipping charge and do not refund it to sellers once it has been paid.  In these circumstances, your overpaid shipping refund will be in the region of 10-13% LESS than the overpayment made.  We are online all day most days, so please be patient and await a correct shipping invoice if eBay's system does not provide it to you.
ALL PAID BUT CANCELLED ORDERS BEFORE SHIPMENT OR REFUNDS ARE NOW SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
Upon return of merchandise we will always refund in full any item genuinely defective or if we have made an error. 
Paypal and some other payment services no longer refund the fees it charges sellers for refunds of full [or part of] an order, or for order cancellations after payment has already been made.  
Any customer that cancels a paid-for order before shipment, or returns items for any other reason than defective or seller error, will receive a full refund MINUS any fees that Paypal and some other payment services keep from the seller.  This fee varies depending on the amount of the purchase, but is usually 3-4% of the total value of the purchase, including shipping. If the payment processor does not keep any fees charged to the seller, a full refund will be made.
