agreetodisagree Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 ugh. Threads like this are why Vinyl Collective sometimes annoys the fuck out of me. Can someone give me a summary as to what the deal with this release is so I don't have to read through 89 pages of irrelevent posts? This thread is awesome. Get your popcorn out and catch up. somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The thing I like about the thread the most is all the speculation of bootleg vs. legit release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 haha the thing I like about this thread is that in 2 pages someone will come and say "I'll go back 3 pages, and surely I'll get the info I need" then they will post on the last page "WAIT THIS IS A BOOT?! FUCK TAHT OMG CANT BELIEVE THE BAND ISNT GETTING A DIME" all because of your post oh wait... that's that shit I don't like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it's a bootleg only if the audio is done poorly. Like all those Universal Special Markets releases.. those are bootlegs. jacktownjim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Haha, well, really, a bootleg has nothing to do with audio quality. It has everything to do with licensing. But when something is getting pressed by MoV, a very well known label, the licensing is all in place. Especially considering how wide/public of a release this is getting. It's in no way a boot. mrrom92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 So, what's an unauthorized bootleg? Isn't that a double negative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 So, what's an unauthorized bootleg? Isn't that a double negative? Bingo. Which is why there is not such thing as an "authorized bootleg". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Bingo. Which is why there is not such thing as an "authorized bootleg". Several bands now make authorized bootleg vinyl to promote their upcoming records...see recent releases from: Alabama Shakes, Dawes, Cold War Kids, Gogol Bordello, Polyphonic Spree. They are plain label LPs with hand stamped covers that are sold at indie stores a few weeks before the official release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Ah, those are still probably just promos, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are plain label LPs with hand stamped covers that are sold at indie stores a few weeks before the official release. If they are pressing their own albums without the consent of a label that owns the rights then they are just bootlegs. If they have permission then they are just self pressed albums that they give a cute name to.Edit: just to clarify for people who don't understand the definition of the words: au·thor·ized ˈôTHəˌrīzd/ adjective 1. having official permission or approval. "an authorized dealer" ˈbo͞otˌleg/ adjective 1. (esp. of liquor, computer software, or recordings) made, distributed, or sold illegally.

"domestic bootlegging was almost impossible to control" synonyms: illegal, illicit, unlawful, unauthorized, unlicensed, pirated; More noun noun: bootleg; plural noun: bootlegs 1. an illegal musical recording, esp. one made at a concert. 2.

mrrom92 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The devil and god-damnit, this ain't no yellow dog swingin pig TMOQ shit, boy. This is a bootleg: By this thread's overwhelming collective logic, the AFS pressing that has been out for years is a "bootleg". In all honesty it's probably a better "bootleg" than this MoV pressing will amount to! Now go read the damn Clinton Heylin book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 TMOQ is the best record bootlegger. They're stuff is pretty good.And if you're a clever ebay seller, in your description you say:The Beatles - Kum Back LP - Get Back RARE/OOP - NOT TMOQJust to have people who are searching for TMOQ boots pick up your listing in the search results. mrrom92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I believe Bob Dylan has several official Bootlegs as well. Sometimes words go beyond their original definition, and some times titles are the opposite of you want them to be. But bands have sold official bootlegs before.
