A reissue is when a label issues a new "version" of the record some time after it has been originally released.  The 2024 reissue means that it is a new version of the record made in 2024, often remastered and sounds different than the original (the original 90125 was from 1983, for instance).  Maybe someone else can add a better explanation.

ChatGPT is a nice friend when english isn't ones native language. When it comes to the album mentioned, it should in my head mean a second press of the 2024 AP Remaster.

• Repress — The same edition is pressed again after the original pressing sells out. Usually the audio, artwork, and catalog details are essentially unchanged.
  Example: A 2020 pressing sells out, so the label presses more copies in 2022 using the same master.
• Reissue — An album is released again as a new edition. It may have new packaging, different artwork, bonus tracks, a different label, or simply a new release campaign. A reissue can also use the original master.
  Example: An album originally released in 1985 gets a new vinyl edition in 2026.
• Remaster — The audio has been newly processed/remastered from the original tapes or digital source. The goal may be to improve sound, correct issues, or create a different sonic presentation. The remastered audio is then used to make a new pressing.
  Example: “2026 Remastered” means the music itself has undergone a new mastering process.

The easiest way to remember

Repress = same record, pressed again
Reissue = record released again, potentially as a new edition
Remaster = audio changed/reworked

They can overlap. For example, a label might release a 2026 remastered reissue, and then later repress that exact edition.

I'm sorry. I'm referring to when PB marks a rip as a reissue on the website not a reissued release from a label.

In the case of this Yes 90125 he has two rips - one in 2024 and one in 2026 both from the AP75. He marked the 2026 as a "2024 AP75 Reissue" and the 2024 as "2024 AP75". I'm guessing AP didn't reissue it again since both are marked as 2024 AP75 unless there was a defect or something.

This isn't the only example. I see PB mark rips as "reissue" from time to time so I'm just wondering what it's referring to.

My own thinking was that he re-ripped it so it's his own reissue. But he re-rips stuff all the time so I just don't know why some are marked as "reissue". Sorry if that's overly convoluted. Thanks.

Sometimes he just doesn't write "reissue".

Don't trust the tagging as PB himself has often said..

@Iprips If you check discogs, there isn't a reissue of the 2024 AP.

But then again, discogs is not the bible, and there could be that there has been a second pressing round of the release.

My take is pb isn't as obsessive about archive keeping/systems as many of us are. So it's just natural/practical variation on the labeling. This time it's labeled 2024 AP75, some other rip might get labeled 2024 AP75 reissue, just seems obvious it means the  2024 AP75 all the same. You get the picture.

Yes. No. Maybe. I figured there was some sort of rationale that I wasn't privy to. Sounds like maybe there isn't a rationale and probably best to just ignore it. Thanks for the help.
