Yes. Create neat package with cool extras (audio/video wise maybe some *stuff* also) from any popular classic rock album from the 70s or 80s and you will most certainly make great profit. Why? Because if one was 12 between 1970-1990 they're now 43-63 and able to invest on those expensive super deluxe editions of their most beloved records.
And there's nothing wrong with that! Again: Metallica, they were calling fans for material to include on those super deluxes! To get something like "Richie Sambora riff tape 1985-1986" compilation would FU**ING BLOW MY MIND. And that's exactly what Metallica super deluxes have from James'!!
There's still time to make that Slippery super deluxe. This year for 35th or 2026 for 40th Anniversary!
BTW I thoroughly enjoy listening to Slippery When Wet 5.1 surround mix. That's something they did right! Extended intros/outros/solos and stuff is heard from beginning to the end!
