The fun part is that Andrew Schwab has no part in this vinyl issue whatsoever.
Long story short, I learned awhile back that licensing rights for vinyl don't really require any permission outside of an agreement with the publishing rights holders. It is more complicated than that (and infamously capitol EMI is apparently a nightmare to deal with for any and all T&N-releated reissues).
Randy, Alex, and Steven don't require Schwab's permission to do this. It is literally a separate project they spearheaded. Hilariously Schwab had no idea until it dropped today. He's telling people on Patreon "we will get to the bottom of this" and "this is bootleg." lmao.
Delicious KARMA imo. Last year's DBL "celebration" amounted to just Andrew, no og members, a ridiculous $250 per ticket covid distanced concert, a "sit down dinner with the band", and ofc the fabulous banning of Steven and Randy from the P86 facebook page for daring to criticize Schwab's shitshow. I'm really happy those three dudes are doing this.
