| | Agreed. I think we need an unofficial category for these. Now many clutter the main artist pages. |

| | I'd say an unofficial release is one that is legal to to sell, but created without the permission of the artist/label. Whereas a bootleg is usually infringing on copyright law and is not legal to sell. |

| | Maybe because it is a bootleg. Now, explain to me the difference between an unofficial release and bootleg because obviously I don't get it and multiple dictionaries don't help. They are all some form of release that was not part of an artist's regular catalogue that was released without their or their label at the time's consent. It really is quite simple. It has nothing to do with where it was bought or how the shop acquired it, it's all all about the whether the artist or label sanctioned it. If not on either score it's a bootleg or unofficial release but they are the essentially the same thing.
It doesn't have to be an audience tape, studio outtake, radio performance or any other type of thing it just has to be not released by the artist or label. Now prove me wrong or re-classify this as a bootleg. I'd be interested to know why you don't think this is a bootleg other than just looking at it, knowing the Beatles discography, label and source of the the recordings.
Furthermore it doesn't take a lot of research to find out everything on Anglo Atlantic and their parent company Coda Music Publishing is a bootleg or unofficial release but here on 45 Worlds they are the same thing just like in the dictionary. Correction sent. I usually provide links in my comments to back all of this up but why don't you back up your listing with some evidence that this an official release. Get searching or re-classify and don't mess us about with absolute bollocks. |

| | Some may want to classify this as a "Bootleg". This was bought from a High Street record shop and I spoke to the proprieter about it and was told that it may be "Unofficial" but he got it through his usual channels. |
