kidamnesiac Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Looks like a German bootleg. But I'd be interested to know what's engraved in the run-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Can someone tell me exactly how these high quality bootlegs keep being made? I mean, I'm all for them if they're easier to get than an OP (Ænima for example), but how is it that some of these even exist? Pressing plants looking the other way?

derby625 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Which did you go with? The German seller? Total with shipping? I'm really teetering on this one.. Went with a French seller. Was about $37 after shipping. I'll let everyone know how it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecomteduck Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Got an orig one, sounds isn't bad, but it's not amazing, I think a boot with a good mastering can do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Really? I think the Bongload press sounds fantastic, which was/is rare for a mid 90s release. feralpanda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecomteduck Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I got the 96's bong load press, and in my opinion, it's sounds too flat with regard to the 4LPs box. I buy it in 2007 in Japan for 23$, maybe it's a bootleg, but I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximuss Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 here in amsterdam it is in every recordshop, from 15 to 25 euro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derby625 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 My copy sounds great and the packaging is top-notch. I don't have an OG or the 4x LP reissue to compare against but I'm happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 i got the 4LP set a couple years ago for $30. is it really that hard to find copies of this record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainaldous Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 i got the 4LP set a couple years ago for $30. is it really that hard to find copies of this record? I guess this boot would be the best option financially. The 4LP and an original go for a good amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeb_enjoys_vinyl Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 updated the op... will probably have to get mellow gold within the next week... fuckin love that album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hate to say it (because I'd prefer an official copy) but if a Sea Change bootleg ever becomes available... I will go crazy for it. Easily in my top 5 favorite albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hate to say it (because I'd prefer an official copy) but if a Sea Change bootleg ever becomes available... I will go crazy for it. Easily in my top 5 favorite albums. Unless they used the master tapes, it'd be pointless. The original pressing is incredible and would render a bootleg useless. I wonder if this bootleg will have the mix that was exclusive to the original vinyl copies? Most likely not, but I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainaldous Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Actually had one of these in my hand today. I have an original so I didn't pick it up. Felt like standard weight vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily in my top 5 favorite albums. Sea Change has to get repressed in the next few years. There's too much demand not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
