On Verve ??? WB???these people should go to the market & sell fruits(bananas in this case)DONT BUY ACETATES FROM ITALIANS.

I was pretty sure these were phoney (the Verve/Loaded incongruity being the big tip off - MGM might have made sense, but VERVE?!?!), but thanks for the heads up kaisersose.

I still would have bought the "Sad Song" one if i had seen these in time! what if...and some Italian Collectors are the hardest of the hardcore, too. and have stuff no one has ever seen! remeber the "black block" of italian hard core collectors on the 1993 tour?? unreal! And i never met the man but Guido Panceti must have had a collection...
oh well, these are gone anyways!!

Dixigas,You 'd have waste your money> those acetates are 100%fakes,I collected Velvets for 30 years & I know a lot about it.These sellers they have no clue of what they are doing. Believe me. Guido had a nice collection but 90% records.Once I showed him my paper collection & he was frightened.That's when he started looking for Velvet posters.It was around 1988.He was a nice guy.

see what i mean...in 88 i was forteen and your were already hands and knees in the VU stuff hahah thanks!!I know but i guess it's the curse of the Younger guys like me that haven't seen it all. the hope of fining "the incredible" thing and if we dont buy it..the curse of loosing something incedible..it is unreal how much money i have sepend on reel to reels with "unrelesed" stuff over the last 15 years!! I need more KAISERS to save me hahah!

This just shows the incentive that the counterfeiters have- they know that someone somewhere will speculate and buy them.

Damn, Dixigas, I was a senior in HS when you were born! I thought you were older than that ; you must just be wise for your age.
