Velvet Underground half speed masters coming out
I’d definitely be interested to see some reviews once they come out though. It’s a hole in my collection that I’d like to fill eventually!
Are these represses? Weren’t they done already? I remember being disappointed “Loaded” wasn’t done a couple years ago as it’s really the only VU album I like.
Definitely a worthwhile hole to fill. But as I recall, a lot of those albums’ source material was a little rough from Day 0.

You know there is a Sundazed MGM/Verve Mono Box available cut by Boom Boom and pressed at RTI where you can fill that a big portion (4 VU LPs + a Nico LP) of that hole for a very reasonable price, right?…

I didn’t pick that up when it came out and still sort of kick myself for it. Was sorta hoping these reissues would drive the price down a little - it’s been scarce for a bit.You know there is a Sundazed MGM/Verve Mono Box available cut by Boom Boom and pressed at RTI where you can fill that a big portion (4 VU LPs + a Nico LP) of that hole for a very reasonable price, right?…

Ah, I hadn’t checked availability recently. For a while it was going for around $100 on Amazon.
Yeah, I was sure it was going to dip under a bill and was wrong, now it’s OOP. Occasionally you’d find dead stock around $130, but I haven’t seen it for a bit. I think it’s pretty firmly parked at around $200-250.
The first track of this definitely does not sound like a typical Mule album. The way they recorded it to get the old school blues sound really comes through in the first track they released. Gonna sound great on vinyl.

I saw it when it was around the 120-140 mark and was turned off by the reviews panning the set's QC, I just got the invidual issues although there's a few i still need (vu & nico and 1969/max's)

My box turned out great. I know there were a lot of issues with the 2012 initial run but most of the reviews for the 2016 version (at least the ones I read) that was recut by KPG and pressed at RTI seemed to fix a lot of those QC issues. The biggest debates I saw were more about Mono vs. Stereo. It’s probably not worthwhile at the current asking price any more but 5 LPs for $100 was well worth it at the time.
