interesting…the 50th anniversary promo stuff says David Glasser mastered it. I highly doubt they would have two different masters released at the same time, but who knows.I wonder if the dead.net one will too
And it seems like the SYEOR is just a red version on the 50th. Maybe CB just cut it?

The hype on the SYEOR version mentions Glasser also.

Yea--I think Glasser engineers but doesn't cut lacquers? Not 100% sure...but would make sense if CB cut lacquers from a remaster someone else did digitally.

MD emailed me back about the seem split on In a Silent Way. They offered me a refund for credit, exchange (with no timeline of when it would be in stock), or $4 in credit. I replied back asking for $12-$15 in credit (30-40% of the cost). Hoping they agree.
Is it an all the way through seam split or just a cracking in the tip-on paper by the seam? Easy to fix with no visible impact.

Haven't checked. That sounds like too much work if I'm being honest. MD offering $4 is just more insulting than anything else IMO.
I asked this a few days back but what glue is best for that? Just an old school Elmer's glue stick?

An acid-free glue stick? Not sure if standard Elmer's is acid-free or not... I remember using some Elmer's for this at some point and there's still no discoloration after a few years (for a 2" split on a spine that didn't go through but I wanted to see if I could tame it a little). You can't even tell I did much on that one since a lot of the top layer had peeled away.
You can also get acid-free book binding cloth tape for the inside if ever the split goes through.
No repair will increase value and is likely to reduce it, but if we're at that point it's being done for personal reasons anyway.
Yeah, for me there's some that have a bit of damage on the spine, and as you are sliding the jacket into the sleeve it's almost impossible not to hit the frayed section and make it worse. So in those cases the better of two evils for me is to just tamp that part down with a little hope glue so it doesn't get any worse. But I haven't actually done it yet
No to glue. If it is a crack in the top or bottom seam, simply run a similar colored marker along the damaged part. The ink will seal it up good, and no one - even you - will know the difference.
All the way seam split - tougher, but same general process. Fix the color along the split, place some strong transparent tape on the inside (fold it over and slide it up there to the top).

I fix minor splits fairly regularly with a drop of white Elmer's glue on a paperclip. Separate the crack as much as possible without further tearing it (that is, lift up the "top flap" of the tear), spread a very light layer of glue with the paperclip, fold back down the flap and rub back and forth in place. I then sometimes but the jacket opening down on an upside down glass or something to keep the seam streatched slightly while the glue dries. If you lay the jacket flat immediately, the separated "top flap" is likely to pop right back up.
