found a LP bootleg box the other day, entitled Reptiles In Scandinavia. A collection of live tracks recorded in Sweden 83, 85 and 91 + a live video from Sthlm 91 and Roskilde 91. The sound is very impressing on the LP. The picture of the video is also impressing, much better then the Amsterdam 91 video. The cover on the box is very simular to the "Silence is Platinum box". Inside there is some reproduced photos from Sthlm 83 and 85 plus some photos from Roskilde 91. LTD 20 copys.
Anyone who knows anything about this box ? I didn´t even know that the box existed until I found it myself in a record fair in Norway.

the thing that found amazing is that you always find items that nobody know the existence and always box set. Put some photos of it on line

Have done some homework ;)
Seems like the bootleg box is a work of a Norwegian fans who wants some extra cash in his wallet. The Vinyl is a home made vinyl, made with a turntable who you can me your own vinyls with. So I guess the quality of the vinyl is crap. Have tried to play the vinyl but there is severe jumps here and there... however the tracklist of the vinyl is:

Stockholm 83:
Temple Of Love
Heartland
Kiss The Carpet

Stockholm 85
Marian
Possession
Logic

Stockholm 91
Lucretia My reflection
Possession
Marian
Valentine
Vision Thing


The video have the tracklist:
Stockholm 91
Intro (Afterhours)
First And Last And Always
Lucretia My Reflection
Body And Soul
Possession
Ribbons
Alice

Roskilde 91
This Corrosion
Flood 2
Vision Thing
Something Fast
1969

I get the imrpession that both videos are cut short and someone have the complete copys somewhere. And I can guess who have the copys.

Err Come again?

Cut your Own vinyl?

I dont think so, in the 1960s you could buy a dictation machine that used 8 (yes 8) inch discs for recording speach (as it had a very narrow bandwith)

as for cutting albums, well you CAN cut acatates but you are talking very expensive specialist equipment. Not the sort of thing you can get off the shelf and Im doubtful that any sisters fan would have one in their bedroon as they would a CD-R

Best

hmmm... been a while since a saw a article about a turntable to cut your own vinyls but the stuff is bloody expensive.
50 vinyls = 300-400 £
pickut with needle 700-800 £
turntable to use 3000-6000 £

I am sure that there is some HI-FI mag out there to confim it ;)

This is now perfectly possible. Vestax and A>N>other company ahve produced cheapish machines (£4k) which do this. These are not acetates but cost lots of money to buy blanks.
