andrewlucas Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Got my record today. Looks amazing. Canāt even tell itās a boot.Ā Iām currently on side B right now... so far, Everything Evil sounded real fuzzy. I assume itās because itās the last song on side A. The next thing that I noticed was on the first song of side B, Delerium Trigger, when it gets to the part where Claudio says āitās coming up and out of your chest. Remember when we were young?ā my copy goes āitās coming up and out of your chest. Remember when... *skip* ...est. Remember when we were young?ā Hopefully I explained it well. Itās not a skip. Itās the music.Ā Ā Iāll keep listening to see if I notice anything else.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjm23 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I got mine in today as well. This thing was packed like a pro and even sent in a Frustration Free mailer. This thing came in immaculate shape. Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet but it looks like there is two different color combos out there for it. Looks like one set are both the Lime Green color and the ones I got areĀ Clear Lime Green With Dark Green Swirl And Clear Dark Green With Black Swirl. Would have preferred both the same color but not that big of a deal. Pretty nice package for being an unofficial release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnāt notice any other issues after listening to the whole thing. The inner tracks on both LPs sound like shit.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derekā¢ Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Damn. Ā Itās almost like bootlegs are synonymous with inferior quality or something. š¤ Ā Iām just being shitty,Ā relax. Ā I understand that boots can sound great and can containĀ zero skips orĀ distortion. Ā But generally speaking, I would call that āluckyā and wouldnāt expect an incredible press from them. Ā Which sucks, because as Randy pointed out, this thing was $40. Ā If youāre dropping $40 on anything, it should hopefully play start to finish without any noticeable distortion or recording skips. Ā For a bootleg I think the MSRP was pretty high to begin withĀ but maybe thatās an argument for another time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyEnemy Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Totally, I get it. Not that the price is too too high, from what I've seen 2xLP boots go for(ala Kanye, Frank Ocean, blah de blee), but it does suck when it's this cherished of an albumĀ and something like that happens. "You'd" be understandably bummed. Thank you @MachoHommeRandallSauvageĀ for clearing it up and answering my question. Ā But, yes, it is a bootleg and somethings are toĀ be, not necessarily expected, but to be accepted. That's why I brought up the Swap Meet Mixtapes. The shit I've bought over the years that's garbage. REAL shitty bootleg of Stankiona in 2000 months before it came out. Mixtapes, before the internet was really a thing, were almost all crap. But you'd pay $20 to have a CD before anyone else, or to have that crazy C Murder shit no one else in High School had, unless you knew. I wasn't bummed, because I knew what I was getting myself into, and that's the charm. It was really more of a joke than anything, but it does, sort of, pertain to the topic of bootleg vinyl and quality and what's expected of it.Ā Edited September 29, 2020 by MyEnemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that was a little confusing, on my part. Having two conversations in one paragraph. Forgot to tag Randy, when I initially posted, but edited it. He answered the question I asked earlier today. Anyways, I'm still on the fence, as something like that probably wouldn't bother me. I just don't need to spend $50 on this right now.Ā Ā Same, no one cares what I have to say.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 For sure I expected inferior quality overall, but this is the first time I've ever had an egregious error like backtracking that actually messes up the flow of a song on a counterfeit record. @MyEnemy Ā In the grand scheme of things, sure it isn't a huge deal, just a bummer.

Shelby Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Bootlegs are supposed to sound like shit thats why the term "bootleg" is synonymous with "inferior". I remember 3 years ago back before the hobby was ruined by people that need to have something pressed no matter the cost or qualityĀ bootlegs were CHEAPER than regular pressings.... because they were accepted to sound like shit.

Kjm23 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) I could be wrong as I haven't looked at sites like Vinyl Digital in awhile but I think most bootlegs are still fairly cheap to buy (around $20.00). The problem is finding those sites that are overseas that have these in stockĀ and the cost of shipping to the states keeps most of these boots around the $40.00+ mark. I am assuming these U.S. sites are paying close to that number (unless they're getting a nice discount in price and shipping by buying in bulk) and only making $8.00-$10.00 per record in markup. That $8.00-$10.00 markup is almost a convenience fee for not having to hunt these down or worry about the terrible international packing and shipping.
