Do you buy new bootlegs?


Recommended Posts

I've only ever bought two bootlegs, the first being The Weeknd - House of Balloons because at the time it was the only vinyl release you could buy, and no pressing rumors had surfaced from the XO. More recently I purchased a Japanese "import" of the Lost in Translation OST on blue vinyl.

 

I would agree with a lot of other folks, that you don't have the same sense of authenticity with a bootleg record but if the audio is done well enough that's all that really matters to me. As much as I would like to have purchased the official pressing, paying $35 vs $100 - $300 (crazy eBay price) to have the music on vinyl and be able to spin and share the music is a no-brainer. There are bands for which I would never buy a bootleg because they see no return on that but in some cases it's fine.
