 | TheDroid Member since Oct 2012 6274 Points | We have entries for the Caliban label listed as "USA" and others listed as "Bootleg". Some are even entered by the same person. Apparently this label was created by an amateur engineer and radio recording enthusiast named Boris Rose (info per Discogs). I have a couple LP's to add to our database, but I wanted to clarify which label designation to use before entering them. |

 | Lee Wrecker If you can't dig me, you can't dig nothin' Member since Nov 2013 2282 Points | Hi Droid, Having had a look at the Discogs entries as well the 5 already here on our site it seems to me "Bootleg" would be the best fit. We only have one entry listed as a USA release but that should be changed to "Bootleg" like the rest. That's just my opinion though others may think otherwise. |

| TheDroid Member since Oct 2012 6274 Points | There are actually three USA Caliban entries and four Bootleg Caliban entries on the site. I do agree with your opinion Lee Wrecker, I just was looking for a definitive answer before proceeding. |

 | sladesounds Turning rebellion into money since 1962 Member since Nov 2009 6566 Points Moderator | An interesting piece on the Boris Rose archive can be found here. Here's a quote: "Boris Rose (1918-2000) was one of those legendary characters who seem to proliferate in the world of jazz. He was tall, articulate, always very well groomed—and by all accounts an outrageous character. An inveterate prankster, he dreamed up a dizzying array of fake label names (including "Titania," "Ambrosia," "Caliban," "Session Disc," "Ozone" and "Chazzer Records"), many of which he tried to pass off as European imports. Most of his albums bore an address on the front, such as "A Product of Stockholm, Sweden." But if you looked closely on the back, it would say something like "Manufactured in Madison, Wisconsin" in much smaller type" I will change the USA entries to bootleg. |
