lexicondevil Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Anyone buy one of the colored bootlegs? I'm wondering what the sound quality is like. I know that once I buy one I will find out someone like MOV is doing a proper pressing. EDIT: It is like I was psychic. Glad I waited!

museummouth Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have a blue colored bootleg of it. The sound quality is pretty good. The sleeve is really thin though. I'd recommend it anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillybarry Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have the black bootleg.. my cover is a super thin copy of the European cd... My record, side 1 has a hum that can be heard the higher the volume... I would not recommend it... by the way it has the late 80's early 90's A&M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusted_By_Space Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I got excited thinking this was news on a repress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicondevil Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hopefully there will be a good repress. It's fucking ridiculous that there isn't one already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcohenour Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I have the Hunger Strike UK picture disk single on its way right now. I'm really stoked to finally own this single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecrets0308 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I borrowed the blue/green colored boot from a buddy and I actually thought it sounded quite good. The worst part about it was the cover, definitely amateur work. The record itself was acceptably quiet. I wouldn't buy it just because it's a bootleg, but hopefully soon we'll have our prayers answered and get a proper release. Maybe RSD 2014?

gumbercules Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I think MOV had plans to reissue this along with the Singles soundtrack but neither ever came to fruition. I hope they are still in the works, as these are two of the only few PJ-related records I do not own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks for everyone's input. I think if it was $20 I would buy it, but it seems to go for around $49 and up, so no. Does anyone have an original pressing and can confirm it is a good quality pressing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'd didn't know the boots went for that much... I picked one up instore for $20 a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jipc Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I raided my sisters old vinyl collection (from 1988 to 2000ish). She hasn't bought a lot since, but there are some gems including original uk pressing of this. Lots of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Melvins, some Pantera and other metal, rhcp, blur, oasis all very well looked after and in heavy poly sleeves.

mpitts Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I have the green bootleg and it sounds good. It's not the greatest release of all time, but it certainly isn't the worst. I was able to pick it up at a local record store for $20 and I would definitely spend that on it again. Just to reiterate what others have said, the album cover is thin and rough. It looks good, it's just obvious that it wasn't the most expensive cover ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecrets0308 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 mpitts is who I borrowed this from. he didn't tell me that he only spent $20 on it though! Shake-It's got some deals, need to get up there more often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake-It's got some deals, need to get up there more often! I have no idea who this miscreant is.. Ignore this post. Kidding! Yeah, I got it at Shake It for $20. It was worth the price of admission, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plarocks Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Does anyone have an original pressing and can confirm it is a good quality pressing? I have the original UK press with the "old school" white with brown A&M center label. I purchased it new, back in the day. (There is also a Holland/European pressing, with the newer black label design.) The record was cut very quiet, as to fit approx 30 minutes on one side. The good news is that the vinyl was quiet enough that it did not not mar the audio with a ton of surface noise. Mine did come with a mark/scratch on "Reach Down" that was mostly inaudable. The only drawback was I really had to turn the volume up about twice as much as other records, to achieve the same cranked level of sound. Be leery of a copy that may be less in less than Mint- shape due to the plant squeezing the whole album on one LP. The cover is thin, but looks MUCH clearer than the bootleg.

burntwolf Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I pulled out my copy of the Danish bootleg. It's on purple. Tons of surface noise. And it's been cleaned on the Nitty Gritty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
