Guest Newbinfo Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hey guys, hope you're all safe and well So, i just purchased some vinyls and I am wondering if I should listen to them or are they collectable to some? The companies that produced this aren't English, so I am just curious if anyone can give me some info on them. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

EV Cali Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Discogs describes the Pink Floyd record as "Unofficial" that means it is a Pirate / Bootleg copy. As such it is illegal to sell them. The sound quality is probably very low. If I was you and you purchased them from a shop I would return them and ask for a refund. Link to the Led Zeppelin LP. Note , note allowed to be sold. https://www.discogs.com/Led-Zeppelin-Physical-Graffiti/release/8254484 Vinyl has no plural.

Candyflip Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi Jordan, These are bootlegs, either of Brazilian origin, or faked to appear Brazilian (although why you'd want to do that is anyone's guess, as the quality of South American commercial vinyl is average at best, anyway). As Robin notes above, give these back if you can - there are a million better sounding presses out there, and the market for poor quality sounding fakes from Sth America is small for collectors (not to say you can't sell them evetually, but it may not be easy). Start with the recently remastered repressing here if you want a good sounding copy: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pink-Floyd-The-Wall-Remastered-Double-LP-Heavyweight-180g-Vinyl-2016/154254858889 and tell them it doesn't cost $20 to send a double LP anywhere in Australia ($12.20 actually) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Newbinfo Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Thanks so much to the guys that helped me out with these, I really appreciate your help Its so odd that people would fake Vinyl, I grew up in the era of burning CDs, so i guess i can understand lol @candyflip - Thanks a bunch for the recommendation! I was told to get an old/ original copy for sound quality, i always though reissues were badly mastered/ made (I've got a long journey ahead of me). Thanks again guys, loving this community!

GregWormald Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Unfortunately some reissues are much worse than the originals, some are better. There are review sites that review/evaluate the different versions and it pays to research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
