Killers Hot Fuss Red (Bootleg(?))

bumping this dead thread for a question

 

Recently this record store has been getting in Hot Fuss on Black for $25, but I have been unable to verify information anywhere online about a Black pressing of this album.

 

The distributor of this title is ECD Direct (which is marked imports)

http://www.ecddirect.net/www.ecddirect.net/info.php?p=5

 

Main issues I have with this is the fact that this album is....

ECD does not list Lizard King as a label they pick from

Black 12" LP

The sleeve looks very cheap and pixelated (like a CD image blown up)

The other ECD titles are normally bigger artist such as Beatles/Janis Joplin/Etc.  (they also look like crap too)

 

Any ideas? this is the 3rd copy they have got in store and it takes approximately 2 weeks for the order to be fulfilled. Is this a bootleg or an actual import from Australia/Sweden/Germany/England/or something?

 

EDIT: Found out it happens to be a 2013 counterfeit pressing through the dark corners of the internet :D

Hello all,

I am new to vinyl and am trying to track down this album, thought I struck gold on eBay...but it is a black EU reissue. From what I can see after looking other places since, that it is a boot and I asked for my bid to be retracted but he assures me it is a EU reissue?

This has only been officially issued on blue vinyl (apart from black 7" set)

Any other colour, including that black is 100% fake 

Thanks, my bid has been retracted, it was a little high so I would have hate to have won it now. But the item has now been removed listed as "lost or broken".

 

The search continues...

 

Would it even be worth getting the T-Shirt box set, I don't think I could afford an original pressing, but I don't want to shell out $70 on something that will sound bad.

It's a bootleg from the UK distrubutor called ECD, they specialize in sending their shit to the U.S. claiming it is a "Import" but really its a horrible bootleg that looks like poo poo!

Yea, I was tricked into one at the shop just to find out the person who said it didn't sound "bad" has a flipping Crossley lol

 

I make better noises with my butt! But the artwork is just a google image blown up and distorted lol They want $25 at the shop idk what you were going to buy it for?

You sound like you know what you're talking about..good enough for me.

To fill some little holes in the collection I'm still looking for the following Hot Fuss bootlegs:

 

- Smoke coloured: http://www.discogs.com/Killers-Hot-Fuss/release/4197898

- Clear dark blue: http://www.discogs.com/Killers-Hot-Fuss/release/3523106

- Green: http://www.discogs.com/Killers-Hot-Fuss/release/3161484

 

Please get in touch if you could help me out!

A+ Bump

 

Ha, thanks! Was better to do this than start a new thread.

 

So what's the verdict on the sound quality on this bootleg?

 

 

I have nothing to contribute to the sound quality. I don't listen to them..

 

I just need those three to complete the Hot Fuss collection! So if anyone would spot them online or in his local record store..
