The Offspring on vinyl

[ThunderPX]

I've recently started collecting vinyl records, but I'm only getting ones where there's actually a noticable improvement in sound quality over a CD version--especially with a band like The Offspring, since I already have all their stuff on CD.
So I was wondering, does anyone know if any specific albums sound significantly better on vinyl? I've never been satisfied with the sound of S/T and Smash on the CD versions, though from what I've heard that might simply be because the production was crappy to begin with.
Additionally, are there any specific pressings you guys can recommend? Audiophiles are always telling me how first pressings of albums are supposedly better, plus I'm already a little wary of the recent Ignition and Smash reissues, given that Epitaph's recent track record with mastering albums is, well, pretty fucking shitty.

Good luck with collecting vinyls, ur competing with me, lol. ive been doing it for about 6 years. got most now except the Blackball/Ill be Waiting pressing of 500. the one with the sleeve. I hated the way they released them again on coloured vinyl. now i have to go buy them all again, lol. My favorite is the original prankster 12" and baghdad clear vinyl. awesome.

its mostly personal preferance i think. if u like the sound of vinyl more on 1 album, youll probly like vinyl for all albums, its more of a vinyl vs cd battle, rather than album vs album.

Awesome collection Greekoldfan, however I think ThunderPX is more concerned with the actual sound quality of the vinyls rather than their physical aesthetics. Which I am also curious about.

I've never been one for collecting vinyl, but I wouldn't mind seeking them out if the sound quality/mix is significantly different than the CD versions.
