Any of you have knowledge/opinions on how the different versions of Superunknown on vinyl sound? Looking to finally add it to my collection, wondering if it's worth hunting down one of the old copies (there are some cool colored vinyl versions from 94) or if the 2014 reissue pressings are a big improvement.

I haven't listened to the original on vinyl, but I don't think it's worth the extra money to track one down. The reissue sounds good, and from what I've read, it's at least comparable to the original. A lot of people say the reissue sounds better, but I'm sure they're listening on better equipment than I have. Unless you're into color LPs, probably not worth it. You can get 4-5 albums for the price of one old Superunknown!
Edit to add Nerd Alert: I've consistently read that if you can track down the German pressing of the Superunknown reissue, it seems to be the best sounding. It's from the same plant that pressed the '01 Nevermind LP that is lauded by a large portion of the collecting community.

Well done! I hope they continue their re-releases at some point. I have that and "Change" as well (which are their best two), but I'd like the first two as well.

Ah yeah I wanna get Change too. I could believe E&I was so cheap. I see it constantly for $50. The only thing j saw was several fingerprints or smudges, but one cycle through my Spin Clean and it will look brand new

Picked up Mutual Benefit's "Skip a Sinking Stone" last night for a steal of a deal. Probably one of my top 3 albums of 2016 so far.

Probably not buying this because I have all the original LPs and I think they sound fantastic in the original mastering.

There's going to be $40 European import and a $20 US pressing, so be careful which you order.
