“Our reissue of John Prine as was pressed all-analog (AAA) with lacquers cut from the original analog tapes by Ryan Smith, Sterling Sound”
Anyone have the deers for the 2020 issue to compare.

That's what I'm hoping for. Thought it worth checking as couldn't recall if it was that I'd need to make the payment on the 31st for them to be shipped, or whether you pay ahead for the upcoming month. Add-ons and how you add one and get charged before it ships have me twisted, and been long enough since I started to where I can't recall which way round it is haha.

So they used a new laquer cut from last year?
What am I missing here? Seems very soon to do it again.

Oh, my bad, they must have used the RTI plates.

I have the 2017. Didn’t know it was the same cut.

I guess this wasn't done in coordination with Rhino, so they are under no obligation to give their plates.
Edit: Hmm, but maybe Warner owns Rhino? So I dunno.

Pressed at Record Industry, not RTI

Same cut/plates but as has been brought to my attention, it seems yours was pressed at a generally preferable plant.

Ok so Rhino is Warner, Atlantic is Warner, VMP worked with Warner or at least paid them to do a pressing... Why would Warner want/make them to re-cut the lacquer as well?
edit: Wait your saying they are using old plates? I guess i understand that now.

Yeah, good point. No idea! Might be as simple as them running out of plates, which would be surprising considering how those releases seemed more limited than normal. Or, maybe VMP just wants to be able to call it a new cut.

The 2017 was a Rhino as well.
This thread has got really confusing.
As far as I know the 2017 & 2020 Rhino releases used the same KG mastering, the 2017 pressed at RTI & the 2020 RI
The VMP appears to be a brand new mastering by Ryan Smith, plated at QRP & pressed at GZ.
is that correct?
I have the 2020 KG Rhino release, but I'm tempted to get the VMP version to see what Ryan sterling does with it. If the pressing is poor I'm sure VMP will replace it

Yeah you got it right. Sorry for any confusion I added.
No need to apologise. After a few glasses of wine I can find it difficult to match the responses to the original posts
It's easy to lose track of who is replying to what without summarising the whole thing
edit - Kevin Gray & Ryan Sterling are the best from what I've heard. It's a shame they didn't press them at QRP, that would be a really interesting shoot out
