What's the concern with reissued copies? More wear on the negative?

• jacquesm 4y ago
  Possibly remastered (so different sound), possibly much later negatives made from the positive (positives wear too, a positive master for a million seller is a very precious thing (see below)). Far less valuable. Usually much thinner than the earlier ones so more prone to warping if not stored very nicely. And if you're very unlucky it was made through an intermediary set of positive/negative.
