Maybe ABKCO changed their re-release plans when they heard that the recordings of the new studio album were finished.

So are these reprints of existing versions, or are they 'new' versions (as in "part of the rerelease series")?

The US version (August 2022 according to Discogs) and a EU version (September 2023).

[ABKCO.com] wrote on 9-Jun-2023: "These 16 vinyl reissues will join The Rolling Stones back catalog that ABKCO has long kept in print".
The 9 releases listed above are part of the long-term back catalog (mostly added in 2022) while the other 16 albums will be reissued in 2023-2024.
So these 9 releases are part of the "back catalogue, that ABKCO has still in print". So why new versions (2022) with new (bar)codes? In my eyes, these are also reissues. What makes them different than the officially 16 announced reissues?

Dunno, cannot help with these questions.

For serious collectors it must be horrible to figure out which is which.

Curious - I know the Czech Republic is where a lot of European records are pressed these days, but does anyone know where US records are pressed? I'm assuming it's somewhere here??

Apart from RSD editions that are limited and surely not long kept in print, all I've been able to track down is
Aftermath - black vinyl - may be the one issued this year?
Between The Buttons - maybe the one issued this year?
Their Satanic Majesties Request - black vinyl - NPS-2 - FOC 3D - made in EU - 018771849612
Let It Bleed - black vinyl - 8584-1 - the Sound of Vinyl - made in EU - 018771858416
Archivist's Corner
1. records that will be available in the Netherlands in September seem to be exactly the same of those already available in the USA/EU market
2. records 'made in EU' seem not be available as 'made in USA'
3. records 'made in the USA' seem not to be available as 'made in the EU'
4. the azure OOOH is MONO and I'm afraid it'll be off the 'In Mono' re-issue. I will tell, when in my collection
5. the black Flowers is from the EU, the orange Flowers is made in the USA: two different pressings
6. Goldmine's 'Flowers' has an own barcode, uses the same covers of the black copies and has no cat. number on labels
7. On rear of ENHM, 'Tell Me' is now credited to Jagger/Richards in contrast with old Jagger/Richard credits
8. It's the first time that ENHM is issued with the insert in a cover that does not mention its presence
9. Special editions for Goldmine and Amazon come with no cat. number on labels
10. 12x5 and GYYYO are 2023 pressings, but they come in the covers that were used in 2003 for the limited editions in clear vinyl + a sticker with new cat.no. and new barcode. Labels are the picture version of 2003, but missing the DSD logo (has for the limited clear vinyls)
