Why yes, I am a bot. I've been requested to comment in this subreddit.
Please let me know if I made a mistake!

Music is life! My favorite band is Motley Crue. I spent my days as a toddler head banging to their music with my dear old dad. He now takes my brother and I to see Cruefest every year.

http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Hits-Motley-Crue/dp/B002QK012Y/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=31Q3FXCXIR5LJ&coliid=I3NFS5LRHFWU7V

Sadly, I don't own any of their albums (or any CDs for that matter.)

First thing to do is research the Music Corner forums at stevehoffman.com. Discogs won't tell you the best pressing. The database isn't structured to do that there are too many noobs there. People outside of a few people that have large record collections aren't going to through all the effort to catalog their entire collection on discogs. I have about 2000 records and it took me a couple of months to get mine complete. Another source is analogplanet.com. Fremer reviews records and he compares them to older pressings.

If you want to know a few re-issues that worth the money that are still in print I'll give you my list.

Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, Moondance and His Band and Street Choir from 2008. These are as good as the original green labels. Cut by Kevin Gray (with Steve Hoffman on Moondance).

Metallica's Kill 'em All, Master of Puppets, and Ride The Lightning cut by Chris Bellman from 2016 on Blackened.

Big Brother and Holding Company Cheap Thrills (mono) cut by Kevin Gray https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009VTAETI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Love Forever Changes cut by Chris Bellman https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0096PS4Y4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Paul Simon Graceland 25th Anniversary Edition cut by Ryan Smith

The only expensive one is Californication, all the rest are under $30 and you can probably find Electric Warrior for less money than Amazon.

If you notice the list is almost entire Chris Bellman and Kevin Gray. You can look them up on discogs. It will list records that they have cut. This won't tell you which to buy, but it will give you a starting point.

I think it is more commonly used in reference to muddy river or swamp water especially Mississippi River water. For instance there's a Doobie Brother's song called "Black Water" that is referring to the Mississippi. You can hear a sample at this Amazon page.

I lied, I paid a little over $20: Astral Weeks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DPC4RS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_O.5Yzb22RCA90

I got it in person at Music Direct and they price matched the Amazon.

Still worth it- so much depth in the soundstage.
