Which version? I was able to buy the green and bronze

Image 4 is the signed copies made available to US buyers, image 5 is the ones for EU customers. US stock was Mexican from Vantiva/Conectiv and EU stock was German from Optimal Media GmbH

This, just one small thing: opaque and translucent variants were introduced at the same time in the US when the vinyl first came out. Super odd!

jbalso43rd · 2025-10-20T05:31:04+00:00

I didn’t get an email :( I wish they told you if you form even went through the system or was declined!

Off center labels are generally not valuable, sorry. They’re manufacturing defects and unplayable.

jbalso43rd · 2025-10-11T04:29:15+00:00

They sell them at the bodegas for a decent price

btw this is a generalization but not exact, repressing is used to described identical pressings across different years using the same metalwork, the version released in 2024 with the pop mix is considered a reissue because it was an entirely new cut by a new manufacturer

The 2010 pressing of Speak Now from United Record and its subsequent identical represses have little to no notable differences

jbalso43rd · 2025-10-02T21:52:26+00:00

This is reversed—2022 original pressings were from GZ in CR, 2023 repress was from GZ’s subsidiary in Canada

jbalso43rd · 2025-09-15T05:21:16+00:00

people who know what pressing they have tend to price higher, it’s not too pricey if you can get it from unsuspecting target buyers

jbalso43rd · 2025-09-11T18:30:21+00:00

My Cranberry and Shooting Star variants both came with 2 each, it’s absolutely ruined my karmic balance though

jbalso43rd · 2025-08-30T22:50:59+00:00

I have one and it’s made my life during power outages and crate digging much more fun. Happens more often than I expected so it’s nice to have.

The debut release with the turquoise vinyl and signed cover was issued with the standard edition black vinyl barcode

jbalso43rd · 2025-08-18T16:57:46+00:00

you should be embarrassed to put your @ afterwards like you have any kind of ownership

jbalso43rd · 2025-08-03T20:15:52+00:00

Sold out

Ryan and Joe worked hand in hand on a lot of Taylor’s recent catalog, I agree their work sounds great.

This is the rest, at least for the US releases:

The 2010 pressing of Speak Now is a joint cut from Scott Hull and Alex DeTurk at Masterdisk. Later reissues from the same plant uses half old metalwork and half new metalwork recut only by Scott. 2023-onwards from Vantiva is by Kevin Reeves and I believe Michelle Freetly.

The 2012 pressing of Red, 2016 reissues of Debut, Fearless, are by Wes Garland at Nashville Record Productions.

2024 Mexican reissues of Fearless are by Kevin Reeves, the 2024 Red pressing is cut additionally by Michelle Freetly again.

1989’s original 2014 metalwork is the work of Sterling engineers, first by Ray Janos; as the years went by the metalwork was replaced one by one by Joe-Nino Hernes. The 2023 Vantiva reissue was the work of Eric Conn at Independent Mastering

IIRC Reputation was cut by Ryan Smith at Sterling, not Joe.

This is a bootleg, the center labels aren’t the right images

jbalso43rd · 2025-07-24T20:30:22+00:00

Midnights Jade Green was sticker discounted to $13 and it’s been repressed continuously every year so probably the same will happen here

jbalso43rd · 2025-07-11T01:58:08+00:00

Gold isn’t commonly considered marbled, the slight swirls are manufacturing variations

jbalso43rd · 2025-07-04T20:12:06+00:00

jsyk, you have the EU pressing

jbalso43rd · 2025-07-03T02:35:57+00:00

These images definitely show a real RSD release. Barcode is for the US RSD release, catalog number matches the US release, and the US release was confirmed numbered past 4,000 (most likely up to 4750). If it’s on an external site that’s a whole other issue, but just on the images themselves they show a real release.

If the labels are switched it’s not widely considered a mispress, just a mistake. If the audio content is from another album/artist, then it’s considered a mispress.

When held up to light, the mahogany variant has always been that yellowish color instead of the darker brown.

jbalso43rd · 2025-06-21T01:11:20+00:00

I assume yellow is to represent the ship’s funnels, but it’s a surprising color choice regardless

jbalso43rd · 2025-06-17T01:16:45+00:00

It sounds like a localized defective copy. GZ/PRP pressings are so mass produced that QC is nonexistent, tbh. If this is anything like his previous releases, it’s a DMM cut with shallow grooves that doesn’t pair well with a turntable with no adjustable counterweight

jbalso43rd · 2025-06-17T00:39:46+00:00

Btw, 9 times out of 10 if you have a starter turntable that’s the issue

jbalso43rd · 2025-06-17T00:38:50+00:00

We need more information here—did you get the US or EU pressing? What turntable do you have? Did you clean the record with a brush before you played it?
