jerseydave77 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 ^^^^ I own one bootleg: Leatherface "Mush" - the band had a hand in it and sold it on tour. I wouldn't touch it otherwise. I wanted that record forever and the band wanted it out there and took control of their music. This is pretty much the only circumstance where I'd venture as the buyer of boot.

topher Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Also, just to play devil's advocate here, why is everyone assuming the OP was actually hoping to bootleg something himself? I've almost been curious enough about the subject to ask here before, strictly out of curiosity because of the Euro bootleg of Quicksand - Slip and the many bootlegs of Tool - Aenima. Given all the scary legal implications, it just seems like their existence shouldn't be possible. I guess I didn't realize there would even be pressing plants in countries without copyright laws. ^ This guy gets it. Also look into the Tool - Salival bootleg. Expensive foily-sleeve thing, incredible sound quality. And to reprise the Frank Ocean - Channel Orange discussion, I've heard the sound quality is very good. To say that a bootleg of a CD album could only sound bad is simply a non-truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know they were mixed from the CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Exclusive Company around me has been getting oodles of bootlegs in and even are listing them as bootlegs. Whats the etiquite on store selling boots. I know they have a couple Nirvana boots and I know they just had a White Stripes boot. A ton more I can't remember.

paralyticstalks Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Just gonna chime in here... I have a bootleg of Nowhere by Ride (the 2xLP "japanese" import) and besides one tiny spelling error on the tracklisting, the thing looks 100% legit. Any sort of knowledge behind this release at all?

I didn't say it would sound bad, I said it would sound worse than the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 any well done bootlegs are probably done by the plant they originate from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arl Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 What I like to do is get a molten vinyl blob and use a rolling pin to make it the right size. You want to be quick though so it doesn't harden on you. Then I put this on my record player, put the needle on it and turn it on. Then I place my computer speakers right next to the needle and turn the volume way up. Then I gently push the tone arm to the center of the record as the music is playing. The vibrations from the speakers move the needle and "cut" these songs into the record. It works perfect every time and sounds great. Good luck! jayteamanis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
