VU Half Speed Mastered 2019 LP's
Are these half speed mastered Abbey Road albums appearing fake/counterfeit? There's no mention on the official Abbey Road pages

I can only find mention on this Greek site:
https://www.ianos.gr/the-velvet-undergr ... 82737.html
It's not listed on the Abbey Road half-speed webpage, but it could be out-of-date.
https://shop.abbeyroad.com/Vinyl/
In my experience the AR 1/2 speeds are not always great. (i.e Faust s/t). But I would be interested if it were true.

This begins to look a bit more convincing:

https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/14398110?ev=rb
https://www.discogs.com/The-Velvet-Unde ... e/14398068
They are listed as Republic Records which is a UMG subsidiary.

Maybe Abbey Road are slow to update their site? However you are probably right to be cautious.gazatthebop wrote: ↑26 Dec 2019 15:38why aren't they on the abbey road website, i think they're fake

Re: VU Half Speed Mastered 2019 LP's
I've fired off a few emails to people who claim to have it or are selling it, to see what response I get.

The thing that makes me suspicious is that most copies are coming from different entities in Greece. Why would they have them for sale before almost anyone else?

At the risk of over-posting to this thread, I'll add this - a reply from the person who created the discogs entry for the vu&n (and the other two albums).
'The album is 100% genuine and disributed via Universal Greece along 2 more VU albums.
My copy is sealed so i can't provide the info that you ask.'

It will be interesting to know whether it was pressed in Greece. Maybe some more info will surface

I was told by someone at UMG that they are using a Dutch pressing plant now. I would have thought that it will arrive in the Uk and other places soon. I can get some real information from UMG when they go back to work after the New Year.gazatthebop wrote: ↑27 Dec 2019 12:43It will be interesting to know whether it was pressed in Greece.
