It would be pretty cool if this stuff could be remastered

Why? What's the big obsession with remastering? I wouldn't want JD to sound any different than they did when this stuff came out.
Are you kidding?

Wow, I never heard of someone who doesn't appreciate remastering older music. I find it to make the music sound ten times better. I mean, compare the quality of the sound from the Beatles #1's album to the same songs on the original CD album. There's a world of difference.
And for the record, JD were great.

I guess I'm a purist. Or something.
Not to get on your case, but you shouldn't be when it comes to this. A lot of music could benefit from being cleaned up and put to some new tape.

I find the production of New Dawn Fades quite good, way better than any "separated channels" shit that the Beatles did.

Okay, great. Not sure what this has to do with remastering an album.

The 4 disc box Heart And Soul is remastered. I have it, everything sounds awesome.
Sticking with the original CDs doesn't make you a 'purist'. The first CD issues of pre-CD era albums (and even CD era albums up til the late 80s) almost always sound like shit, because the record companies didn't understand or care about the mastering process.
A lot of times they wouldn't even make a CD master from the original tapes, they would just dump the vinyl master on to the CD. That's kind of like transferring movie film to a VHS master, then just using the VHS master for the DVD release. You'd be paying for DVD quality, but getting glorified VHS.
There are a few cases lately where classic albums are remastered one too many times and made too loud, reducing dynamic range, but that is rare.

Transcode, ban!

For those of you who own Still, do you think it's really worth owning? I have the other three CDs and I'm on the fence about this one.
I did pick this up eventually when I was into Joy Division. The studio stuff has a few reasonable tracks but is vastly inferior to the rest of the catalogue, which is only to be expected really considering how close to perfect that catalogue is. The live stuff sounds terrible.

it has nothing to do with purism, most bands don't mean to get an average sounding record out. it's either all they could afford at the time, or that was just the best technique available at the time.
