I haven't seen anything about how these are going to be re-issued other than remixed. Are they using original tapes? Are they getting mastered for vinyl? Will it be an all analog pressing? Where is it being pressed? Is it 150 gram pressing?

    I would love to know provenance information as well. This band is religion for a lot of us and I wish they treated their archives and releases with the care and respect the music deserves. 

    Fyi, Santos said that binaural and riot act will be remastered (but where and by who?) and avocado will be both remixed and remastered. I assume Brendan o'brien is doing the remix. 

    I'd like to know:
    - are these coming from original sources? We don't know definitively if the masters for these albums are analog or digital. Either way, what are the sources? 
    - who is remastering the albums?
    - where (and by who) are the lacquers being cut?
    - where are the records being plated and pressed? 
    - are these all double LPs?

    You can make some inferences based on previous pressings. 

    These will most likely be digitally sourced, possibly cut by John Golden (maybe mastered there too?), pressed at CZ or MPO.

    I mean, most of what you want to know is in the deadwax, if it isn't then it was some shlub who cut it. If they were all analog source you better believe that they would be advertising is. Its just nt worth sweating over.

    You're 100% right. I don't get the lack of transparency though. Why hide that info like it were the secret KFC recipe?

    Especially considering how seasoned their vinyl clientele are.

    Also, last years reissues were pressed well. I'm guessing these will follow suit.

    Hopefully not Golden. I think Daniel Krieger has done a wonderful job so far on the reissues (Yield and No Code).
    I hope he has re-cut all 10 for the box.

    I feel like if they were all analog that would've been emphasized as a huge selling point.

    I don't understand why they won't just tell us what we want to know? It comes up every time they release vinyl. What's the big secret? Why not be transparent?

    Does transparent vinyl sound as good as solid black? :D

    Because they wouldn't sell as much when people realize that they're buying vinyl sourced from digital tape? Oh, never mind. People see the word "vinyl" and automatically assume it must be better than digital. So, yeah, what's the big secret?
