The copy I purchased was not a gatefold. I don't much knowledge of the vinyl release of the album. I know they were reissued on CD, not sure if a vinyl reissue was done. My copy was in great shape, so I suspected it might be a reissue of some sort.
So far on this list, almost all of them are new purchases. Some older albums I purchased on vinyl (Can, Husker Du) were shrink wrapped and I believe are repressings, so I consider those new to me. There are a few purchases where I have purchased a used copy.
Yes, I buy that much vinyl. And no, I don't think vinyl is THAT MUCH better audio format (sound quality can still be sketchy, storage can be a pain, expensive, having to flip and switch records, etc.) compared to mp3s or to CDs. But I primarily like to buy vinyl because I love to listen to the music through my stereo speakers than through headphones, watching the record spin, that it comes in colors, and the album artwork stands out more since vinyl packages are bigger. Silly as it may seem, but it's just my preference.
To be honest, I haven't listened to a majority of Oasis's output, so I can't really judge where I stand in this debate. I enjoy their big hit songs. I got exposed to Blur early and rounded up their albums, while I haven't done so with Oasis.
But on the basis what hit songs alone, I'd still prefer Blur over Oasis.
Thanks for the recommendations! Man, I need to start purchasing some old classics sometime, been too much focused on today's music lately. Thanks again, I'll definitely look forward to these albums.
