Reports out of the Universal Music Group is that they have been granted permission by the US Government to keep Eminem’s fifth LP at Fort Knox to prevent bootlegging. Okay, I’m exaggerating.
What is being done to prevent bootlegging and piracy is that Eminem is not going to wrap up the recording and mixing process until very shortly before the release date.
In addition to that, Universal is making significant other security measures to ensure that the album is not stolen during the pressing process. “Encore” is due out November 16th on Shady Records.
