There is a difference! |

| | I like making big steps when I can't sleep. We're entering another grey area. These records were released unofficially i.e. Without permission of artist and/or record company. We don't have an unofficial category, but we do have a place wher we put all bootleg items. I think this comes closest to what they are. I will propose to make the heading for that place Bootleg / Unofficial. Have tried in vain to look for a contact address for this label. I'm sure that if it's all kosher we must be able to find them somewhere. The cd's on the label are now at least nicely together. |

| | Having had a closer look at their catalogue on another site I agree on both counts Leonard. They should be bootlegs and international. They also somehow licensed similar recordings to the Let Them Eat Vinyl label which specialises in rock re-releases and is a legitimate label. Does this make Let Them Eat Vinyl records (such as this) bootlegs as well? |

| | They're still the same and I can't see any targets mentioned on it. They should be together under one heading. Given the legality of these releases (not authorised by artist or "official" company) I now think it's better to list them as bootlegs. They won't appear on the main pages of artist this way. |

| | Leonard, I think Leftfield Media is a global distributor of semi-legitimate recordings (usually FM Radio broadcasts) that is based in Europe for legal (loophole) reasons. They do however produce products for specific target markets which are usually those mentioned in your comment EU, UK and USA. So the CDs they make are not international but particular to a country or region and not distributed throughout their entire network. So I would say they are an EU based company but their products belong to a specific market and should be entered as from those counties or regions. |

| | At this moment there are 4 Leftfield Media Labels:
1. Bootleg
2. Europe
3. UK
4. USA
They look/are all the same. Propose to make just one label. (International?) |

| | @Lee Wrecker: I had it as one word on my Xcel spreadsheet and for so dumb reason I changed it.
Thanks for the 'Make Correction' ☺
GZ Media is apparently located in the Czech Republic & they might 'have' something in Canada. |

| | Hi Beggars Road, we and the other site list this label as Leftfield Media and not Left Field Media as you have entered it here. Regarding the dubious legitimacy of this and all Leftfield Media releases it appears the company specialises in sailing close to wind where the law is concerned. Most of their stuff (this included) seems to be sourced from live FM radio broadcasts and as we don't have an "unauthorized/unofficial" option and it doesn't really fit the traditional definition of a bootleg I think this entry is correct as is. I'll send a correction (done) for the label name which you can see as one word on the back cover details. |

| | If, and I do mean if, this is a boot - it's one of the best I've ever seen or heard.
I'm thinking that it's more like a "unauthorized/unofficial" release or not. |
