They ought to just reissue the Master-Dik EP as is, which I quite like largely in spite of its title track.

Weird that they added the bonus tracks to the vinyl (particularly the 4 on "Bad Moon"!) and while I do agree with your basic point, keep in mind that Master=Dik is built off of samples from 'Stereo Sanctity' so it at least has some thematic ties to the album. Probably belongs more on a Whitey Album reissue though.

That said, these vinyl reissues look kind of intriguing! I have all of these albums on vinyl but would certainly entertain picking up new copies if they're deemed to be outstanding pressings, and in a way the bonus tracks kiiiind of increase the appeal...though I do respect the idea of the 'original album' being preserved.
