If anyone is looking for suggestions here are some that pop out to me from that list:
King Crimson - Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind (triple cd - really fantastic showcase of this lineup)
Depeche Mode - Spirit - I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this music
The XX - I See You
Robert Plant - Carry Fire (sound quality is not amazing but the music is good)
LCD Soundsystem - American Dream (especially if you're a fan of Talking Heads and 70's/80's Bowie)
Beck - Colors

For fans of Steven Wilson remixes:
Chicago II
Jethro Tull - Stand Up and Songs From the Wood

Anyone know anything about that Sgt. Pepper's Deluxe Anniversary Edition?

I own it. Stereo re-mix by Giles Martin. Lots of additional material. The re-mix is done well. Better stereo field than the original. Actually has a center image, but didn't stray too far from the original intent. The mastering is too loud in my opinion. Too much limiting/compression. DR isn't very good. The alternate takes are interesting if you're a Beatles nut, like I am. Long thread about it over at Steve Hoffman. Also comes with a DVD that has a hi-rez copy. 24/96 I think.

Edit: I was referring to the Super Deluxe Package. HDTracks has a version with the additional material in 24/96.

Brilliant especially with the brightness all the way up, haha

Thanks for the heads up. That listing has dropped to $90.

But search eBay first. I found that there are many "manufacturer refurbished" on eBay going for $80-$90.
