Original Pressings vs. New Pressings/Reissues

This question has led to some wonderful conversations with several good customers, lately. Of course, it is a very personal choice and a decision that you will need to make on your own, based on at least two very important factors; cost vs. value (as some original pressings can be costly), and more importantly how much of a music purist you are, or as this article below wisely mentions, "how much does it matter to you?" To be fully transparent, I sell both original pressings or Used records, as well as New records or re-issues/new pressings; so either way, I absolutely respect your preference/choice and again, it is a choice for you to personally make. In the meantime, please enjoy reading this great article I found this weekend on the topic. It is a few years old, but still very much on point.
