No, it's a "genuine item" so it must be alright.

Actually, I've got that concert. if I burn just one copy and write "1/1" on it, presumably I can sell it at an even higher price.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

They can blame themselves, or buy Disguised in Black instead ;)

No, because as stufarq and the original poster points out, the concept of limited to 10 copies is just silly to begin with (especially in this situation). Others may think different of course, so there's even a good chance the buyer knows what she/he is doing and is a happy camper.

the point simply is: does anyone bid on it or not - 46 pnds says enough ....

and if we find nr. 11 in 5 years. many of us wild go wild ;-).

this release does look much better than black planet, which even featured mr. james on its cover.

in the particular case i am happy to still possess the old 2 lp set
love is just a shot away

Looks professional, but everyone can do it nowadays. Sisters cd's were worth buying before cd-r's for the masses were introduced. In the nineties I bought quite some SIsters bootlegs on cd, but not in this decade. I stick to vinyl :wink:

sadly i can´t do it my own. I am not a creative person and don´t have the time and ideas to create and print professional artwork.

Geting a CDr is very disapointing. That´s right. But if it´s a proper CD with nice artwork, why not.

Vinyl is much more interesting. That´s absolutly right! :!:

a designer casts a jaded eye over the sleeves:

The Blackfest one has been run off on a pretty cheap bubble jet printer onto shiney 'photo quality' paper, that's why there's the 'banding' on the photo. The other one is just horrible to look at and if I owned it, I'd make my own sleeve.
If you ever feel like starting up your own bootleg business Herr. auflage please get in touch, I'm in the graphics biz and could definitely do a more aesthetically pleasing and professionally printed job. I could probably get the CDs printed too, and not CD-Rs either.

It does throw up the question: When is a bootleg not a bootleg?

it's strange btw. on some kind of polish ebay, allegro.pl, you cannot sell cd-rs, it's strictly prohibited by ban and so on.

I think this is also in the ebay rules. But if no one reports that people will try and some people will buy.
A silver pressed CD would be fine but just a bought cdr will no make me a happy camper.
