It shall also allow to make re-recordings in higher quality of stuff that are impossible to find in good quality. Like that cover that that band played only once at that obscure concert and that was recorded on an old tape. Or many very old reggae songs: although many from Jamaica/Kingston had great recordings (there was know-how and great recording studios there) there's also a shitload of old reggae songs that are just barely listenable to because the recording is so poor (and, no, it's not an artistic choice by the artist: it's just, you know, a crappy recording).
