Kanada Kev Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Interesting read on one famous concert taper and his dealings with the European bootleg labels and the law. Some pretty wild stealth modes for recording too http://www.sdreader.com/php/cover.php?mode=print&id=20070705 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Before I knew 'better" I used to frequent record shows in the Toronto and Hamilton area purchasing these albums.KTS, Swinging Pig, Oxygen/ Octopus:These ere the best boot labels, great packaging, amazing sound on most of the "O" releases and I used to pay about $20 per which was comparable to regular cd prices at the time.I still have several of them including Nirvanas last show, 95 Radiohead, 95 Pearl Jam sbd, many Neil Young titles and even a couple of Phish issues (6.24.94 and 10.31.94).

Kanada Kev Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 It's nice that most all of them are out there via torrent sites now I used to have a few of them myself. Still have a Grateful Dead double that was from the Shrine Auditorium '67 and sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I just keep hoping that someone out there will realize that some of them were only pressed in quantities of 500 or 1000 and that they are quite rare.I figure that perfect condition last Nirvana show on disc has got to be worth something big someday.... Its #'ed 456 out of 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I used to troll the Hamilton music shops for bootleg records, on vinyl. Damn they were expensive, especially when you're just 16!There was a place in Hamilton that was at least 50% bootleg records; it was awesome, but it kept getting busted."The Collector's Guide To Led Zeppelin" was a bible to me when my hormones were shifting.

Northern Wish Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have The Stones show from 1989 at the CNE on limited edition (500) heavy vinyl. Its three LPs, and the packaging is sweet...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 LOL ... I used to know Ed from Record World at Yonge & Eglinton. Worked for him the odd weekend. He'd let us borrow the boots, record 'em, and then bring them back in We even bootlegged bootlegs a couple of times. Got the plain white LP sleeves, tossed in a couple of ABBA albums from the $.25 bin, insert a photocopied 8x11 cover sheet then seal it in a plastic wrap. Go down to one of the shady LP stores on Queen West West and "sell" 'em for some quick in store credit. Man, it's easy to do stoopid things when you're 16 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
