Any advice would be appreciated.

Oh, and I presume the remasters issued in the late 90s / noughties are the very same versions as the 'Special Edition's released a few years back?
I've actually gone the other way around and tried to track down the original releases since I hate that those albums fell victims to the loudness war. It's down to one's personal tastes, but e.g. New Jersey has gotten much louder with every release and I lost some of its organic sound each time again.
