oojavaguru Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 With the release of the Chvrches Bootleg LP, there has been some confusion. So I thought i'd create a master thread to keep the facts straight and get all of this information organized. These are OFFICIAL, band sanctioned releases. They are released by RED Distribution and they are owned by Sony Music and have several labels like ATO Records, Glassnote, and more. Here is the history: RELEASE #1: Artist: Primus TItle: Green Naugahyde Pressing: 750 copies, each numbered Release Date: 8/31/11 RELEASE #2: Artist: Alabama Shakes TItle: Boys and Girls Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered Release Date: 4/12/12 RELEASE #3: Artist: Stars TItle: The North Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered Release Date: 8/28/12 RELEASE #4: Artist: Bad Brains TItle: Into the Future Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered (on either Red, Green or Yellow vinyl) Release Date: 11/13/12 RELEASE #5: Artist: Cold War Kids TItle: Dear Miss Lonelyhearts Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered Release Date: 3/26/13 RELEASE #6: Artist: Dawes TItle: Stories Don't End Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered Release Date: 4/2/13 RELEASE #7: Artist: Jason Isbell TItle: Southeastern Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered Release Date: 6/4/13 RELEASE #8: Artist: Gogol Bordello TItle: Pure Vida Conspiracy Pressing: 800 copies, each numbered Release Date: 7/16/13 RELEASE #9: Artist: Polyphonic Spree TItle: Yes, It's True Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered Release Date: 7/30/13 RELEASE #10: Artist: Okkervil River TItle: The Silver Gymnasium Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered Release Date: 8/27/13 RELEASE #11: Artist: Chvrches TItle: The Bones of What You Believe Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered Release Date: 9/17/13 RELEASE #12: Artist: Yuck TItle: Glow and Behold Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered Release Date: 10/01/13 http://instagram.com/p/eKu8YtQFlR/_ COMING SOON: Artist: Polica Title: Shulmaith Pressing: 500 copies, each numbered Release Date: 10/15/13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atticus Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Band sanction releases by a label are not bootlegs. somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 They're called bootlegs by the band and label. It's not in the classic sense but that's what they're calling them therefore that's what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtw88 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 First we have 'unauthorized bootlegs' and now 'official bootlegs'? Life is shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 What is the 6131 opinion on these? Maybe a subscription series can be made. jhulud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 In this sense "bootleg" is a cute way of saying "indie store exclusive". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David The Gnome Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 In this sense "bootleg" is a cute way of saying "we're cashing in". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrrom92 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 In this sense "bootleg" is a cute way of saying "we paid 12 cents for the jackets". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 they're "bootleg"s not bootlegs. The idea is, they're indie-store exclusives that are released in stores one week before the album drops. Not sure what there is to complain about. if you don't like the stamped covers or having an album a week early, wait until the actual release comes out a week later. nothingnatural 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Why not just call them Indie-Store Exclusives instead and avoid any confusion and drama when calling them bootlegs?!?!? After the recent 6131/No Sleep panties in a wad "authorized bootleg" drama, this shit is now off the deep end ridiculous with confusion.

After the recent 6131/No Sleep panties in a wad "authorized bootleg" drama, this shit is now off the deep end ridiculous with confusion. i don't know, i really don't think it's that confusing. bands usually tweet/facebook something like "go pick up a "bootleg" edition of our new record in stores now, a week early!". it never occurred to me that they might actually be bootlegs. Plus, what does it really matter? I guess I understand people who are against bootlegs avoiding them to find out they missed out on an official release, but the regular press comes out just a week later. I think it's a cool promotional thing. I loved getting the new CHVRCHES album on vinyl a week early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I don't really see how this is much different than doing a couple hundred on colored vinyl for the first 200 pre orders, or randomly inserting 300 split colored in a run. They are only called "bootlegs" because their look is like that of bootlegs from the 60s and 70s. It's in no way a commentary on bootlegs of modern records or trying to cash in on that trend(?).

MahPah Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I can get the Polyphonic Spree, Yuck or the Silver Gymnasium bootlegs if anyone is looking for them. Might be able to get a Midlake as well...thats a questionable maybe. PM if interested. I am looking for the Chvrches and Polica bootlegs. If anyone can help me get a copy of either of these (without going through ebay. i know i can get them their for ridiculous prices)I would greatly appreciate it.

mrrom92 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 what about that unauthorized TDAGARIM repress that's pretty indie huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Red Fang and Midlake also had these early releases recently. I think the Midlake was a yellow/red split. I'm not sure though I didn't find that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
