Does anybody know anything about Fanclub releases? They are listed as the label/distributor for stuff like:

DANZIG, GLENN - WHO KILLED MARILYN

TRACKLISTING: 01. WHO KILLED MARILYN? 02. SPOOK CITY, U.S.A.

RAMONES, THE - WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE

TRACKLISTING: 01. WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE 02. WORKING IT OVER 03. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE

JOY DIVISION - LOVE WILL TEAR US APART

Limited to 300 copies, some on colored vinyl some on black vinyl, mixed in randomly. Beautifully made fanclub release with two unreleased tracks.

MARS VOLTA - LIVE AT THE ELECTRIC BALLROOM 2003

Incredible, complete concert recorded at the Electric Ballroom, July 9, 2003. Double black vinyl in a black sleeve with full color poster, in a Japanese resealable poly sleeve.

OPERATION IVY - UNITY

Combines all tracks off the 4 singles "Plea For Peace", "69 Newport", "Lint: The King Of Ska" and "The Ramones EP".

Are these all unlicensed bootlegs?

Does anyone have any of these? What do they sound like?

The Danzig 7" actually was originally an OFFICIAL misfits fan club release, but is rare and costs a lot, so current stuff you see for sale are bootlegs.

Operation Ivy Unity collection is a bootleg collection of bootleg 7"s and EPS..the quality of the Ramones EP is awful, and IMO is unlisten-able even as a hardcore fan. The rest of the songs vary in quality but remember these are not going to be the quality of the Energy studio tracks.

69 Newport was released by Very Small.. you sure Plea for Peace wasn't a boot all along? Who released the legit version?

"'69 Newport" was released by David Hayes, but not on Very Small. "Plea For Peace" (the original pressing, I think of 1000) was released by a couple friends of the band with the band's permission. It included a booklet with some good Cometbus stories about the band.

'69 Newport was on Very Small. But then people started bootlegging it on colored vinyl. The VSR version is black only and limited to 5,000something.

The original Plea For Peace 7" you are right on, also original pressing was on white vinyl.

Also David Hayes released the Seedy CD on Very Small too, but as a joke titled it as "Karma Kredit Records" He pressed like 10,000 of those things.

David Hayes was doing Very Small Records at the time he released it, but it was released without any record label info on it, which would seem to be a deliberate attempt to not make it a Very Small release. Doesn't really matter much, though.

exactly. a bootleg which then got bootlegged.

one distinguishing mark on the david hayes copy is that it does say VSR in the matrix.
