I'd assume this was because the way Jack mastered it for the original pressing, it just didn't warrant a remaster.
not all of the [TMR] music has been cut to vinyl from analog tape. why not? because it's not always possible. it's not as simple as some people think. would we like to do it everyntime? of course we would.
for one the tape machines used at third man studios are highly unique and can't be found everywhere.
another reason is that if you do what's called a "cross fade" such as between the songs 'blue blood blues' and 'hustle and cuss' on [Sea of Cowards], you can't mix that onto tape without having three machines of the same model type. two to mix from, and one to mix down to. not very easy to do, and very expensive. and you lose a generation in that cross fade to boot.
the first time i was able to cut direct from tape to vinyl and and afford it and make it work was the album elephant.
why? because the songs had no crossfades between tracks. sometimes that's not possible when sequencing an album. also because the vinyl cutting joint in london happened to have the same tape machine as toe rag. besides this we still had to pay double the price because it was mastered to vinyl, then started all over again and mastered for digital a second time. probably
cost more than the entire recording of the album did, and a BARELY noticeable difference in sound.

Yeah, idk what that was all about, sure it's not 180g, but its not a bad press, they obviously came from the same mothers as the original V2, so I can't imagine the sound quality is bad. And mine has a beautiful, clean split between the black and red.
