    So its a reissue of the reissue? Or, is it just a repressing of the 2011 remasters? It lists the same barcode as the 2011 editions. or is this is actually something new.... Will VS actually have the CD cover.. like pictured?

    Endless questions, ...

    The Vinyl reissue of the album "VS" By Pearl Jam
    Single Lp on 180 gram vinyl
    Remastered Edition
    2016 Reissue On Vinyl
    EAN: 0886978431318
    Remastered Mastered from the Original Tapes and On Vinyl for the First Time in More Than a Decade. 1993 Album Shattered Sales Records and Remains One of the Best Sets of Past 20 Years.

    Epic Records and Legacy Recordings celebrate Pearl Jam's 20th Anniversary with the release of a new commemorative vinyl edition of the band's 1993 album Vs. as well as its follow-up, Vitalogy. Both records remain the group's definitive studio sets, helped catapult the quintet to the top of the charts, and have gotten only better with time.

    Sounds like a second pressing of the last remasters, it is using the language from the first go-around of the release in 2011

    I'd be really surprised if these were new cuts. My guess is MOV just got new stampers from the 2011 US pressing. I guess we'll see, but I'm not optimistic that these will sound any better.

    With this new "remastered 2016 edition" , here's hoping they also release the Vs & Vitalogy 192kHz 24Bit Flacs over @ the Pono Store & HDtracks.com .

    25th over @ New On Vinyl & Amazon UK. I haven't seen any other online store taking pre orders on these two reissues yet.

    I'm confused about one thing - how did this thread come to say these latest reissues were by Music On Vinyl? The label states EPIC on the New On Vinyl site and SONY on Amazon UK.

    Music on Vinyl isn't really a record label? Epic (Sony) still owns the rights to all those albums and have to authorize their release. MoV is a company that does the leg work. The put the vinyl out but they aren't a record label?

    Yes, MOV is a record label, and when they are behind a (re)release, their name and catalog # are always listed. These latest re-releases for Vs & Vitalogy do not appear to be part of the MOV catalog, which is the point I was trying to make.

    I'm guessing the confusion set in by the name of the record store "New On Vinyl", which could be easy to misinterpret as "Music On Vinyl".

    At the end of the day this is all moot point as many have pointed out that these re-releases sound like shit no matter what label/version you have and I'm not holding my breath that these will be any better. And for those of us that are anal-retentive collectors we'll buy it regardless.

    They sound good to me. And the HDtracks.com 24Bit Flacs that were releases around the same time, they sound great.

    With these new remastered releases does this mean there will also be a 192kHz 24Bit Flac releases from Pono & HDTracks?

    I have no idea about the digital files or flac, but the original pressings on vinyl that I have seem to sound better than the represses....Mabye it's in my head, just wondered if others thought the same.... Either way, pearl jam sounds pretty fucking awesome no matter what the source usually!
