The article doesn't say, but I would guess that only the 2 track masters were lost in the bankruptcy of the pressing plant. Their use of the word master makes it sound like a catastrophe, which it probably isn't. So they have to remaster/remix the original multitrack masters? Is that how this works?
I can loan them my Yo La Tengo CDs if they really need something to make LPs from...

"Some titles prove difficult to reissue unless we go back and basically remaster the albums from scratch".
I could read that to mean that they're remastering from LPs....
