Does anyone know if the Abraham label is still pressing vinyl?

Oh hell yes.

Probably with the same stamper, too.

"Probably with the same stamper, too" - Hahahahaha nice one!!

abraham is still bootlegging and stronger than ever, everytime i go to the record store i see a ton of abraham pressing. they are cheap sound quality and they are cheap in price. i only pay $7.99 for their vinyls. if you see them going for more than that dont buy em cuz they aint worth any more

He's actually a really nice man. Deep voice.

His warehouse was the sh!t back in the day.

A NICE MAN???
HE RELEASES ALL THESE CD'S/ LP'S
AND THE ARTIST GETS NO MONEY.
WAKE THE ---- UP!!

:X

I say a big well done to Abraham, he's keeping a great Jamaican musical tradition alive, namely ripping off other producers and artists... just like they all did! How do you think so many versions on the same rhythm, or re--dos of the same came about!!!??

One other thing in Abraham’s favor is that he did a lot to keep vinyl production alive in the 90’s when all the other companies were switching to cd’s exclusively.

And one other point if I may. Bootleg records have a long history going back to the 60’s with the Dylan bootlegs. The TMOQ label records now go for big bucks on eBay. I don’t see why people have singled out Abraham as the reincarnation of Satan just because he is doing what many many others have done. And what about all those bootleg cd’s I see in record shops.

And.. one other thing. My hunch is that the money lost to the artist because of Abraham is only a drop in the bucket compared to the money lost to illegal downloading and I don’t see people screaming about that.

Anyway some of the Abraham releases are great and I have about a hundred of them. Shoot me
