Re: the 2004 mono banana album.
The one with the black sticker that reads "Finally the original MONO VERSION • Limited Edition Classic Lp • High Definition Premium Virgin Vinyl Pressing For Super Fidelity • The Nicest Thing You Can Do For Your Ears"
This is tagged as 'unofficial' on Discogs. There is some discussion in the comments about its legality.
Someone posted a quote from the Steve Hoffman site "Per Bill Levenson (musicman9999), a reissue producer who formerly worked at Universal: "The 2004 mono release is a clever bootleg." "I'm serious. Definitely an unauthorized, unlicensed release."
However - on Olivier's site it's not listed with the boots, it's listed along with all the other official USA LPs.

I always assumed it's a bootleg .... but is it? It got proper distribution.
Where did they source the audio - any ideas?
Has anyone noticed they missed "And Nico" off the back sleeve. Why did they do that I wonder?
Have all copies got that pressing mark that looks like a scratch on side 2, across Black Angel / European Son? I worked in a record shop when they came in and I seem to remember they were all like that.
