Just be thankful they're only doing it on the deluxe editions and keeping the standard versions in print. The deluxe will largely be bought by hardcore fans who'll keep the original and can act as a curio.
In contrast, the only versions of Mike Oldfield's first three albums you can buy new these days are the 2009 remixes he made for the deluxe editions (the original versions were only included as bonus tracks), and there are three Tangerine Dream albums which are only available as 're-recordings' (ie with loads of new synths and guitars added) with entirely new artwork, meaning any new listeners get butchered versions.
