The following is mostly cut and paste from various sites.
VOLUME 1:
Limited Edition 180g Vinyl 9LP Box Set!
Cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering from Original Analog Master Tapes!
Features:
• Limited Edition
• 9LP Box Set
• 180g Vinyl
• Lift-Top Box
• Replica artwork
• Cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering
• Cut from Original Analog Master Tapes!
• Pressed at QRP (all except the 1st three albums)
• All except three albums were remastered for this box set; Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, You're Gonna Get It!, Damn The Torpedoes
"QRP pressing plant pressed most of the MCA era box, it did not press all of it. Two of the records, the first two Tom Petty albums, reverted back to Tom, who later licensed them to Warner Brothers. So even though they are in the MCA box, the pressing was done under Warner Brothers control..." - analogplanet.com
VOLUME 2:
Limited Edition 180g Vinyl 12LP Box Set! Seven Classic Albums!
Cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Studios! All but two LP's cut from original Master Tapes.
While the original releases of Wildflowers, Echo and Last DJ were mastered for vinyl from digital sources, for the 2016 box set release, they assembled the original analog masters for the first time, and mastered vinyl from that. According to Bellman, "the sound quality is especially better on these albums." - analogplanet.com
All except two albums remastered for this box set. Mojo - (2010) (2010 remaster). Hypnotic Eye - (2014) (2014 remaster). Both Digital sources for the box set.
Please disregard an earlier post (above) regarding Geffen Records, it was in error.
Geffen Records produced the recent greatest Hits on 180g vinyl. I remember someone posting here that the Sonics were not as good as 1st pressings or the new box sets.

Shelter Records
Profile:
Shelter label appearance:
• When it began in 1970, the Shelter label was red, with an egg image bearing an inverted Superman logo*.
(*From mid-1972 to 1973 [the remainder of Shelter's distribution by Capitol] this part of the Shelter logo was usually overstamped [obscured] with a black rectangle in response to a copyright infringement lawsuit and later settlement with DC Comics).
• After ABC took over distribution in 1974, the Shelter label was an 'S' in egg-shape circle on orange tint background, with 'Shelter' in curved black text at top.
• The ABC-distributed Shelter label later became orange, with 'Shelter' in dark orange print seen in a straight line at top.
• In 1978, Shelter employed the eerie orange-and-yellow tinted 'Saturn & Moon' design (the "S" egg now has a Saturn ring over it), which was later continued into the MCA era when it acquired ABC Records in 1979.
