There have been questions asked for some time now, because apparently, all Linkin Park albums have been reissued again. Yes! Starting from Hybrid Theory, through Living Things and ending on the most recent live release - One More Light Live, all have been reissued, all with a new catalog number BUT the same EAN (UPC) or simply barcode as the last issues. Want to know why?

The answer is simple (well, kind of) - because of both legal and imaging reasons. Back in 2004 when Warner Music Group was sold by Time Warner to investors with Edgar Bronfman Jr., as  the leader, the agreement was that Warner Bros. Records (founded in 1958, a Warner Bros. Pictures division) would be still using the Warner Bros. name and logo for the next 15 years. After that period of time things have changed for the company, and the time has come to change both logo and  name (again, this was mostly for legal reasons, I suppose we don't have to get into details here, right?) Some people say this is a fresh start. It sure is, mostly for the leadership.

Changes to the previous releases: new Warner Records logo, new catalog number, Warner website address has changed from "warnerbrosrecords.com" to "warnerrecords.com". Label Code "LC 00392" has been removed from the credits.

If anyone knows any other releases that have been reissued and have the new logo please let us know!

UPDATE NOVEMBER 07 ASTAT via LPLive added that :

It's also been reported that these releases use the newer masters from 2013 for all of the pre-Living Things albums (from when they did the iTunes remasters), which would presumably mean all new physical pressings of Minutes to Midnight have the alternate (wrong) version of Shadow of the Day on them. I'll try to confirm this, but if so that would pretty much mean the original version of the song is "out of print" at this point.

As soon as we get some further info on this everything will be added to this post and to corresponding releases.

UPDATE November 05, 2020
This release has been postponed to spring 2021 (and that's Record Store Day in April) That's all folks for today.

We're waiting for any further comment from Warner officials since this is something that doesn't happen very often, especially on a RSD release...

This year for the Record Store Day Black Friday we'll get a cool set of two LP's in a limited, aqua blue pressing. This item is limited to 3000 pieces worldwide!
