I mean that's what my band does with our albums, we'd want to be sure our 300 copies don't sound completely warbled or something. You'd imagine that bands that actually sell stuff make sure of this even more.

i'm sure you don't have to worry about copies of your records being repressed by different labels. that's the difference between a reissue and a repressing.
the companies mostly putting out worthless reissues don't care about the quality. they are glorified bottleggers.
two notable offenders are: "plain recordings", and "4 men with beards". especially the former. the latter isn't bad but they are unofficial and source from CDs.
