Not sure if anyone has seen this on the Kanye forum
http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?topic=273356.468

 

Some dude taking/taken orders from 50-100 others on that board to press his own House of Balloons. I've only read a few pages of the large thread, but it looks like somehow he got the masters & was gonna have the package for $30 ea.

On the last page though it looks like he's run into trouble trying to get the original cover printed, price due to rise if it still goes through.

 

In any case it's an interesting example of vinyl product demand when something isn't officially pressed - as opposed to boots out of nowhere sold by a faceless vendor with sketchy product details.

Pulled the trigger on the House Of Balloons DLP for $21 a few days ago.  Received today in a nice sturdy box.  
I have not had a chance to give it a spin, but the quality looks very similar to the Watch The Throne LP they were selling...

BONUS: each is "hand signed" just like the box set...

Hey please let me know how this spins! I might have to pick up a copy. ALthough I wish the art was the HoB art.

my thoughts on the bootleg.

 

sound quality is solid.  there were a few pops that I could reproduce, but not a big deal.

pretty sure this is a rip of the remastered version... not the initial download.

- there is no "Rock the Boat" sample on What You Need.

- the "Twenty Eight" bonus track is included.

- the vocals and bass are tweaked.

 

 

cons... 

the generic brand album art.

the jacket is a bit thin.

title of song A3 "He Knowing" 

the track list is a bit mixed up (not sure if the official LP release is similar?)

 

 

If you want House of Balloons on vinyl for a reasonable price, get it.
