2010 was cut by Ron McMaster. I think the one @wmeugene has is a repress of the 2016 by Sean Magee. Seem to be great reviews on both (not 100% sure if the 2016/2020 is AAA)

I got really lucky and walked into a nice '76 German pressing this summer for $40. Was shocked when I saw it on the shelf.

I would like to hear that 2010 in comparison but I am not buying anymore copies.

That hole punch indicates a cutout so it probably sold new for just a few bucks. I have a MoFi Stones Sticky Fingers that I bought new for $2.99. If we only knew...

I really like the MoFi Sticky Fingers! Definitely didn’t pay 2.99 for it but the price on that one was low for awhile compared to other early MoFis because people said they didn’t like the sound for some reason. I’m pretty convinced there are multiple MoFi cuts of it that sound different though. Mine sounds great (if a bit clean sounding for a Stones record). Moonlight Mile sounds so good on it. The soundstage is cool on my copy. I remember sitting in my apartment listening to it and had to keep checking that my surround sound system wasn’t on because I swore it sounded like Mick was coming out of a center speaker in front of me haha

The 2010 was AAA, the 2016 BS reissues weren't AAA but by all accounts they sound great. I think the S/T particularly is supposed to sound better on the 2016 one. I have the 2010 and it's okay, I would probably go find a better sounding version that that one if I were looking today.

I'm not a metal guy but I'd like a Vol. 4 in my collection. Is the current reissue ok compared to the 2010 AAA?

People have come onto the Rhino reissues a lot in the past year or so. I've seen lots of prices spiking on them.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason for a lot of their reissues. There was a Rhino Joni Mitchell - Blue reissue back in 2020 (before the box set) that came and went really quickly that is not going for silly money on Discogs

i think we know why that Blue reissue still goes for a lot of money....the boomboom effect!

pretty sure the box set version is Bernie instead. i have both but haven't really done a side by side comparison. Agree the price is strange because you can get the entire Joni box for less than the KG is selling for.

I think the 2020 stand alone was a BoomBoom. Funny thing is I see another stand alone Blue reissue listed on Amazon. Says this is the Bernie Grundman remaster. But it is the only record from the box set that is being reissued as a stand alone, so who knows.

wouldn't be shocked if thats just a breakout of the BG. it's her most popular album so having it in print from the box doesn't seem all too crazy.
