Details about pressing the re-issues
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?

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?
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.

I hope he has re-cut all 10 for the box.
I think they'll be analog myself.
I have no clue about anything

The only truth I know is you.
If the Avacado vinyl sounds alot better after the remix/remaster, I hope they release a cd/digital version of it too.
Analog to digital conversion has come a very long way. It seems that higher end convertors are essentially transparent. I would guess most people cutting vinyl would rather work from a sequenced digital file that has been mastered for vinyl (mastering engineers do separate masters for vinyl than they do for digital because of the limitations of vinyl) rather than a sequenced analog tape that they have to do "live" changes on. If they mess that up they have to start over. It might be that some Pearl Jam albums had analog masters, some had analog and digital masters and some had strictly digital masters.
It is almost certain that recordings from the mid 2000's if not earlier ended up in something like Pro Tools even if it was then dumped back to analog tape. Tchad Blake was a big proponent of the SADIE system (a DAW similar to Pro Tools) so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Binaural went back and forth. Pro Tools was in most major studios so it probably got used on most albums since then as well. Check out the wiki on the RIAA Eq curve to see what your records go through while they are getting made and playing back.
It would be interesting to know for some people but I think most don't really care or don't understand everything involved. They just want to buy the record and they like the way the records sound or the packaging, the ritual of playing them, the way you only spend about 20 minutes playing before you get a little break.
