Hello, Jonathan! I hope you are well! I think there's a certain amount of time for companies other than the original record companies to start pressing some albums. As an example, I've been looking at some Elvis Presley albums, which were recorded by RCA Victor, whose rights now belong to Sony Music. With the company "DOL", which manufactures some colored pressings, the following fact was happening: when a certain Elvis album completed 60 years of its release, DOL released its pressings. This occurred with the album "Pot Luck with Elvis" (1962) in 2022 and "Fun In Acapulco" (1963) in 2023. I don't know if this is the factor, but it is a possibility.
