I'm reading a book on the history of bootlegs. It's pretty interesting stuff. If you like boots, you'll probably want to read this at sometime or other....If you are a hardcore collector, you MUST read this.

Is it the Lemon Records version, or the K & S knock off? |

Does this book have lists of actual bootlegs by famous bands, or is it mainly just a history of bootlegs?? |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
No, this is not a discography. It is a well researched history, complete with interviews of people who were involved with the production of the bootlegs. It also delves into some of the gray areas of both domestic and international copyright laws.
For instance, he talks to Dub, the guy who recorded LiveR(and one half of the legendary TMQ records). He goes into detail about the equipment he used, his positioning, how he got it mastered and pressed so fast...really very interesting. He explains how he got the master recordings for Bright Lights, Big City...just tons of fascinating stuff like that.
Now, I suppose if you want to go through the book and compile a list of the titles that he mentions, you will probably end up with a couple hundred titles...but anyone who has been collecting for more than a couple of weeks will probably already have most of it already. |

Still it sounds like a great book, I was just curious if it had a discography section or anything of the like included. I used to be big into tape trading and bootlegs so I'm sure it will be a good read. |

You may want to look for old copies of Hot Wacks or Hot Wacks Quarterly...those mags had discographies, and reviews and ratings of new products. |

I used to get Hot Wacks back in the day, their discographies were pretty good, but I really enjoyed their reviews. It opened my eyes to many bootlegs I may not have even given a chance. I'll have to see if I still have any around. |

Interesting book. Read it years ago when it came out and enjoyed the hell out of it. |

Much thanks, Joey. Next year the Jayhawks will stop this first-round exit nonsense. |

The tracker has spoiled us all. However, this is one book that is worth the money, I got it last night. |

Bright Lights Big City was my first Stones CD bootleg. The Black Box was my first vinyl one & I still have it but can't play it. |
