Unsure, to be honest. I do know that her masters belonged to Universal, so not a good sign.
I think that GZ is handling pressing (ugh).

I doubt very much that the UK Island masters were shipped to the US to be stored, but it's hard to say. Has anyone found any details about the mastering? I thought we had more at the announcement than I can find now.

says in the description for Rid of Me LP "The reissue is faithful to the original recording and package, cutting by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering under the guidance of Steve Albini." if that means anything were the original recordings even analog?

I've heard quite a few times that at least Rid of Me is AAA. I believe Chicago Mastering always cuts from digital, so that answers that question. Doesn't mean they'll sound bad though. Looking forward to my Dry preorder.
 
I got my Rolling Stones albums from the UDiscover sale. In looking over things on Discogs I found this article about the represses and it gives me some hope about these half speed remasters...

Righting a Rolling Stones Catalogue Wrong: The New Rolling Stones "Studio Album Collection 1971-2016" Box Set

The irony wasn't lost on Stones fans when ABKCO and Universal simultaneously issued Rolling Stones vinyl box sets back in 2010. ABKCO, which owned the group's British Decca-era catalog, hired legendary mastering engineer Bob Ludwig to handle mastering of its catalog while Universal, which...

I am gonna give Exile a side-by-side comp with my 2010 reissue tomorrow. I am optimistic.

EDIT: Also, I comped the matrix runout for the 2018 box set edition with my copy and it matches so that is a good sign.

Good to know! I personally think Sticky Fingers sounds pretty bad but have heard the others sound great.

I spun my Sticky Fingers for the first time yesterday and it didn't sound bad, so maybe I got lucky. I probably should do an A-B comparison with a '71 zipper-cover pressing I've got, but I was pleased overall, and was especially impressed by the separation of all the instruments.

I was lucky that the two One Steps I got both got here from that sale. I was really surprised Target even sold them. I had ordered it at around 5AM the first day of the sale but had to approve 6 or 7 delays from Target. For those huge target sales I always sort by highest price just to see what they have available and there were some really good deals this time and last. I have gotten three of the One Steps from Target now and saved about $40 on each one versus if I had purchased elsewhere.

I’ll give mine a spin again. Mine just sounded kinda lifeless and dull. I don’t have an OG to compare to though. I guess bad might not be the right word but I was unimpressed especially compared to the other half speed masters I have gotten. The Specials album sounds awesome in half speed and Amy Winehouse is on my list of to-buys but haven’t sprung for it as it’s pretty pricey in the states.

Yah for real! When I saw you posted about finding them I thought, "there's no way target has those. Why would they?"
