What does a reissue need to get your attention?

To me, if possible a good remaster and bonus tracks (live, demo, acoustic, unreleased tracks - NO INTERVIEWS), but and to you guys?

Unreleased tracks whether studio or demo are a big draw for me.  Live tracks typically sound so bad that they are unlistenable to these ears. That isn't a big selling point in my book.

 If I do not own a CD already, I am more apt to get the reissue.

Black-and-white: do I already have it on CD?

Beyond that, is it a quality reissue with a detailed insert and remastered sound?  If not, how affordable is the original compared to the reissue?

If I already have it bonus tracks are actually annoying because I'm not so rich that I can afford to buy an album twice and they become songs this fan won't get to hear.  Exception: a whole second disc of bonus material (like the 77's have been doing or the Eternal Ryte anthology from several years ago).
