I've been pretty happy with the Abbey Road half speed mastered stuff. The Police box. The Amy Winehouse. This VU. I would guess that the Abbey Road press of White Light sounds equally as impressive.

As some of the Discogs comments say, they need to put out a double with the Valentin Mix and the closet mix.

If you’re into live Velvet Underground, I definitely can recommend this if you can find it for a reasonable price. Sounds fantastic.

All are Mono cut by KPG and pressed at RTI. I think I picked it up on Amazon about a year ago for around $87 and It’s a pretty nice set.

I don't see it either. The only 2021 release is some Euro clear vinyl press.
Have you had a chance to listen to it yet?
if the order is under £135, they put it on hold until they figure out how to add VAT. My previous AS order has an in hold status for this. It didn’t say adjusting order, but that would make sense. If you message them they’ll come back with an explanation pretty quickly.
I have the 45 stereo version, which sounds pretty great, but I think the general consensus is the 33 mono, which I always intended to get but can't really justify it.

Thanks Andy - our favourite Scottish nut job suggests it’s in stock in 200g mono...so I might chance my arm.

Yeah I have the 33 mono. I’ve heard good things about the 45 and the stereo but it was made for mono (not just because of the time but also because Wilson is deaf in one ear) and I just couldn’t justify splitting up such a beautifully and purposefully mixed record for any 45 gain.

If it's in stock at a decent price, I'd go for that.
I got my 45 through VMP, but afterwards I learned about this one. Worth keeping an eye out for this one, if you see a good copy in the wild. I suspect you might see one in a shop for a reasonable price, it's supposed to sound excellent.

Oh if you want to stay out of the twilight zone I bought mine off mcru, they’re much more professional imo, and code MC10 gets you 10% off.

I had a similar problem with Tull. I ordered 2 separate orders (one each, one for me and a 2nd for gift) both the 1st day of preoders.
When the first copy arrived but not 2nd I checked AS website, had similar message on my order page, and called.
Long story short the 2nd copy took months to finally come. They obviously put it to the very back of the cue rather than shipping it in original order cycle. I called or txted about once a month. Always the same reply “It is in the warehouse and it will ship out asap”.
Hope you get yours quicker.
FWIW, I never found out what caused the original order glitch either. I have many orders with them going back to the early years.
