From the comments I was just reading, it sounds like it's official because the label signed off on it. The band just wasn't involved whatsoever, or knew about it. I've seen that situation happen a lot.

Yeah, when the label owns the rights that happens a lot when they license it out. A lot of times the artist doesn’t know until the rest of us do.

Yeah was also thinking about Hum, and I remember MoV pissing bands off in the past.

I don’t think that The Wrens were necessarily upset about Craft reissuing their first records I just recall one of the leads being a bit surprised when heard it was repressed since one one ever reached out to em.

Spaceman 3 had some issues with some of their RSD reissues too where they told fans not to buy them.

I remember Isbell ripping New West when they released Live at Twist and Shout saying it was a crappy recording. They’ve also licensed out Sirens Of the Ditch about 150 times it seems. Not much you can do when you don’t own the rights to it.

Yep. He never promotes anything he doesn’t own now.

Most recently, last (maybe the one before?) RSD, that Craft reissue of Welcome Interstate Managers? The band didn’t know it was happening until the RSD list dropped.

I can appreciate Jason's approach. For the masters he owns and represses on Southeastern, he bears the costs but also gets the profits. When a company owns or leases his masters and represses, other than some possible mechanical royalties, he probably gets very little. The old industry model of upfront advances and contracts meant the record companies comissioned art they owned, so would repress and lease copies of the work to recoup their initial production, storage and marketing investment. I understand why artists wouldn't be notified or be asked to consent to reissues in those situations (unless stated in their contracts) since the album may not be contractually owned by them and they aren't paying the costs to manufacture the reissue (as with WIM on Craft, who likely leased use of those tapes). It has been and remains a lopsided industry for the artist, maybe worse now than ever due to low streaming dollars and expensive touring costs.

The Sundays had their 3 albums reissued a few years ago during RSD and they were very upset about it. Also they were terrible pressings. Like really really bad.

I wondered if the band were out of the loop on those releases. However, I don’t think the pressings were terrible. They could have better, but they’re far from really really bad.

Honestly my copy of Static and Silence sounds good, but I bought mine from Turntable Lab who did their own special release. But people's reviews from the records are pretty harsh...

I sold the RSD version of Static & Silence. It sounded really really bad to my ears.
