| | OK - I've changed them. All the Unsurpassed Masters are now listed as boots. |

| | I would agree - make the Unsurpassed Masters bootlegs. |

| | I would propose we make all the Unsurpassed Masters listed as boots.
I would also propose that we make all the product on the CD-Maximum label into boots as well. Take their edition of Please Please Me / With the Beatles for example. It includes the group's version of "Love of the Loved" which was never available legally anywhere in the world. It's a classic bootleg-style selection.
I'm open to arguments on those "official" albums, but I do think we should go for bootleg with all the Unsurpassed Masters. Anyone object? |

| | I would agree that Unsurpassed Masters are definitely bootlegs, but with the grey area of the CD-Maximim CDs do we just make the Unsurpassed Masters issues bootlegs or every issue of CD-Maximum a bootleg (given the comments on Steve Hoffman's forum). |

| | I'm fighting the urge to change all of these to Bootleg. There's no way the Beatles/Apple/EMI could have sanctioned a release like this one.
It seems that the label is somehow beyond the reach of copyright enforcement, so it's a case of "you can't catch me".
That doesn't apply to the whole label of course. I would be happy if their copies of albums like Help!, Hard Day's Night, Revolver etc were kept as legit, but the Unsurpassed Masters series was never legal in any respect. It's all stolen goods. As mentioned below, a bootleg of a bootleg - it's still a bootleg. It even has the Yellow Dog logo on it! |

| | Russia's CD-Maximum label: Is it legit?
Consensus at the Steve Hoffman forum, including responses from posters from Russia: No. |

| | CD-Maximum is a tricky one. See my label biography here. They may well be legitimate in Russia, so I think we need someone from Russia to advise us really.
We have over 100 CDs on the site - see here.

| | I asked for it to be changed nearly two years ago. Fat lot of good that did. |

| | I really think these albums should be listed as bootlegs. |
