Bootleg releases are perhaps studio out-takes or live performances which have been put onto Vinyl, Tape, DVD or CD then sold usually by private means. Some of the "Unofficial" releases originate from countries where laws are not the same as ours, such as China, Russia to name but two. The Quality of the recordings are normally very good as they are digital copies of albums or album tracks. Artwork on occasion is a bit "iffy" The point I made earlier about DVDs where they actually state on the covers that these are "Unofficial" releases but are sold openly on Amazon and the likes, and there are 1000s available, covering many popular rock acts. This is a personal opinion, but I do make a clear distinction. Edited by kab2112 on 30th Jan 2018, 9:08 AM
