I don't know which CD you've got, but the Blast First has an amazing sound - the perfect balance. I've heard shit about the DGC release, but I wouldn't know. Plus my CD player is very expensive whereas my turntable's a hunk of shit I bought off my dad, so that factors in I guess. Amp's brilliant mind.

What about that sleeve? Probably not going to come through the 100 years so well. The vinyl can warp in lower temperatures than CDs too. You're right about the oxidisation on early releases though; I've got the SST Sonic Death release too, but I rarely play them - a lot of my main collection is back at home now while I'm at university.
EDIT: The warping, again it's another concern I'd rather be without - making sure they're all flatly stored, cared for *just so*... it's more hassle for relatively minimum gain other than the collectible status of the medium itself.
