Wow. Can't say I'm much of a fan of the morphine aesthetic, myself. ie. the 'Pinned' eyes look
Well since I have looked out through "pinned eyes" myself for over 35 years, that might explain my attraction. :lol: :lol:

Unreal! More Bermuda bootleg sold for $273.00! I have seen it sell for under $30 this year. What is up! I notice some of the VU boots selling sky high have stressed "Warhol cover" in title. Maybe that's the key. thoughts?

wow! If I had the money, I'd buy all three. These prices are very good; they should sell fast.

Almost definitely fakes. It's become a bit of a trend in recent years to make fresh acetates with convincing, 'vintage' looking labels. Unfortunately, whoever made these hasn't done their research... why would Loaded tracks appear on Verve acetates?

Ah thats interesting Mark, these acetates sold very quickly recently from an Italian Ebay seller - was puzzled by the Warner Bros labels your comment now makes sense.

I'm Italian,I lived in italy for 45 years & I've been in the record businness for over 30 years.Those acetates are fakes,I cant believe that those miserable record dealers are still around,selling this crap to people that honestly believe that they are collectors items?Who would sell an original acetate for that cheap? On Verve ??? WB???these people should go to the market & sell fruits(bananas in this case)DONT BUY ACETATES FROM ITALIANS.
