Do YOU have any Bootlegs? Tell me! 👇
Please add English subtitles or French subtitles !
Yeah. A couple of AC/DC cassettes. I know that because they have Lots of Spelling Issues.
I have a bootleg of Metallica's Ride the Lightning on yellow vinyl with a greenish cover. It looks really nice, but the sound quality is really crappy.
I have a bootleg of Ramones’ Adios Amigos on vinyl. I knew it was a bootleg and I bought it just because the real ones are expensive.
I have a bootleg picture disc of Radiohead's Pablo Honey and it sounds really good even for a picture disc, maybe it was made with a cassette or some analogic media, but I'm glad i have it
Unofficial / Bootleg video game soundtracks on vinyl are becoming much more popular. Definitely worth looking into if you're a fan of video game OSTs.
Seeing how INSANE the cost of official video game soundtrack on vinyl is, I can see a ton of bootlegs online. I mean, in Europe, it's 60-70€ minimum for one album. OOF.
Except info about them is scarce and kept secret =/
Yes this is very true i have found many bootleg music scores for Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last Of Us. The best way to avoid buying bootleg records is use amazon, but still its not a 100 percent guarantee
Song of the day: 21st Century Schizoid Man- king crimson
An absolute classic
I legit listened to that this afternoon
“NO ONE MAN CAN HAVE ALL THAT POWER”
@@pelicanpelican2055 you’re not just wrong you’re stupid.
Jk like whatever music you like friend
oh god the red screamy man
MetalJesusRocks is forever destined to be in the Song Of The Day section
Haha yep, I use that clip a lot 👍
@@vinyleyezz Both of you guys are in my top 10 fav youtubers :D
Tool's 10,000 days was never released officially on vinyl. Sadly. Really hope they will (re)press all the albums eventually. I'm sure they'll sell out pretty fast.
Hopefully in the next year or so would be awesome. I got all the ones that are officially released on vinyl (opiate undertow Lateralus) and I found a bootleg of 10000days at one of my local record stores, but I will gladly replace it with an official copy if and when they release them. I would also love to get a copy of Ænima given that it’s my favorite tool album and I don’t wanna buy a bootleg online (if I found a copy at my local record store I’d get it depending on the price but would replace with an official copy without hesitation) anyway I love to have the whole discography on vinyl. Weird that they haven’t don’t this yet given that they are a band that really pushes physical copies and Maynard has talk about how much the band appreciates vinyl
@@jeremydraper733 owner of a 10.000 days bootleg . But also the aenima one must say its a real good one . No cd player so happy i could get these . Only one missing is salival and the new one.
Opiate and undertow seem to be reprinted often, officially. Lateralus "limited" edition is still available lol. Need an Aenima reprint, not sure why they haven't it would be like printing money for them lol.
Check MFSL
I have 10,000 days on vinyl it is a good album not their best but it does have good songs I collect so if it's hard as hell to find ill take an unofficial copy

*looks at my bootleg copy of Blonde by Frank Ocean*
*sweats nervously*
Yo I actually just got a blonde bootleg a few days ago
Didn’t Blond only have an extremely limited amount of official pressings?
I’m not spending a few hundred bucks for a “real” one if a fake ass bootleg sounds similar
@@mzeamer6847 only the night of the album release. Some official copies are reselling for $1000+ which I definitely can't afford lol
@@mzeamer6847 it wasn’t really that limited, but it was available for limited time, I think there’s something like 4000 pressed but the demand is obviously way larger than that
I got one of those too. Bootlegs are great for super rare albums because they actually allow you to own an album for a reasonable price
Song of the day: "Revolution 9" by The Beatles
_numbah naiiinneh, numbah naiiinneh_
RIGHT! RIGHT!! RIIGGGHHTTTT! rrrrrriiiiiiggghhhhhhHHHHHTTTTTT!!!!
Too basic, now the first “Revolution” song would be better or original would you
One video that’s kinda cool with bootleg records is a video taken in the early 70’s of Neil Young going into a record shop and finding them selling bootleg copies of one of his concerts. He talks to the manager and he’s a bit irritated they’re selling copies of his concert. The manager says he’ll call the police if he won’t leave. Pretty interesting to see an artist find a bootleg version of their own work
Such a cool video. I went looking for it again recently, but it looks like it's been taken down. I love that the shop clerk tries playing dumb about stocking boots but then a few minutes later, some guy walks in ready to sell the shop a box of bootleg 8-track tapes.
About 40 years ago I found an unmarked black box in a crate of records someone was giving away and it had three records in it. Two had weird French labels and one had a blank white label. The French labels said "Rolling Stones" on them, so I quickly snatched up the box as I am a fan of the Stones. Turns out it's a bootleg called, well, "the black box." And it has a great selection of tunes including a lot I've never seen on other albums like just straight blues covers. etc. Unfortunately, the box itself was falling apart, so today, the three records sit in a repurposed "Country Christmas" box and I take them out for a listen every once in a while. Bootlegs are cool if they have concerts on them or something else never published, but all out fakes usually just suck.
Song of the day: Oxygen by Swans
*song of all time
masterpiece!
Gawd where do I start. There is a major difference between bootleg, pirate (which you didn't address) and counterfeit. First, a bootleg consists of unreleased studio or live material. Thus the material may not be covered under copyright laws, depending on where the release was produced. This is why you saw many bootleg CD releases come out of some countries in the late 80's/early 90's when CD's became easier to make. In some countries the medium of CD's was not covered under their outdated or poorly written laws. This loophole has been closed in many counties. A pirate release is someone taking previously released, copyrighted material and repackaging it with a new cover and selling it as an official release. A counterfeit is an exact copy of an official release. Your Tool release appears to be a counterfeit. Someone trying to pass off an exact copy of previous released, copyrighted material, as legit minus some info that is normally found on the cover. In the 70s/80's I was friends with several bootleggers here on the west coast. One of them would send several copies of their Rolling Stones releases to the New York office to forward to Bill Wyman because he collected them. Some artists have fought back by releasing previously unreleased material. Neil Young and Dylan come to mind with some of their recent releases and Zappa with his Beat The Boots box set. The Beatles released the Anthology series in response to Swinging Pig's excellent six volume series of studio quality outtakes. I have 100's of bootleg vinyl, CD and DVD releases in my collection. It is not illegal to buy or own bootleg's. Just selling them. How do I know? I was at a record swap meet in the late 80's buying some bootleg vinyl and unbeknownst to me FBI and RIAA agents were standing behind me while I made the purchase. The seller was busted but they did not bat an eye at me. I was also selling, so I packed up my stuff and got out of there asap before the authorities closed the doors after asking all customers to leave and searching every sellers table. Dodged that bullet so to speak.
They used to be called "Imports" at my local record stores.
I've been collecting records since 85 but you still teach me things all the time about vinyl. Awesome videos always.
Another way to spot a bootleg is to check the runout etchings. If there's minimal etchings that either indicate the band name and/or simply 'A' for side 1 and 'B' for side 2, then it's most likely. Not all cases are like this, but it's fairly common. I've noticed this with several bootlegs in my collection.
Have you ever seen the Soviet era ‘Bone Music’ ‘Ribs’ or ‘Roentgenizdat’ bootlegs? They are recordings of banned music such as The Beatles, Elvis and Chubby Checkers pressed onto old X-ray prints. They look insanely cool but they have awful quality unsurprisingly, and only could be played about 10 times. You can find them on EBay for a moderately expensive price but they are still a very cool collectors item. Once again a great video!
Just got my first record player today for my bday
Audio techniva lp120
I'm soo happy
I have 2014 summer hills drive and my beuatiful dark and twisted fantasy so far
Your channel helped me alot setting up😁
So happy for this topic! My bootlegs found in the wild are Yes- The Affirmery and Jethro Tull- MY GOD!!!
Song: Suppers Ready- Genesis
I have like 6 bootlegs in my collection (Beyoncé, Frank ocean, and Megan thee stallion) but I don’t really mind the sound quality, I don’t have the best turn table but I just love hearing the music I like on vinyl and the pretty colors they make them on :)
Thank you so much for pointing out the difference between counterfeit and bootleg. I see so many people show a counterfeit record and they think what's just a bootleg when in fact it's not a bootleg. Great video man
I have got two bootlegs:
Rammstein - Mutter (green vinyl, japanese edition)
TOOL - undertow (the rare 1993 promo grey vinyl)
The promo grey vinyl isn't a bootleg. Its a true promo and actually one of the best pressings of the record out there. Its also worth a fair bit!
Song of the day: The Lemon Song- Led Zeppelin
There is one legendary person fighting bootleggers heroically during Led Zeppelin's gigs: Peter Grant. The band's manager. You can watch him in action on the Zep's video "The Song Remains the Same".
Song of the Day: "Tunnel of Love" - Dire Straits
I have a copy of 10,000 days on vinyl.
It came on Red and Blue vinyl.
The quality is alright. I’m just happy to have it.
I really like what Pearl jam does at their concerts
They sell albums recorded at their concert and sold ONLY at their concert where they recorded it
They are called Official Bootlegs, my dad bought the one when they came to Padova in Italy and the cover is made of cardboard and has an iconic statue of the city
Song of the day: Eric Clapton - Layla
Song of the day: Holy Wars by Megadeth
Bootlegs are no fun nowadays, but back in the 80's it was a whole other matter. Not only was the quality mostly pretty good, but often you had the music on white labels months before the official release (Not to be confused with dj promo's). For some reason music (especially dance/house tracks) had quite a tendency to leak from the studios back then, and often you infact had the time to get tired of the music before others could even buy it. Those were the days.
you just have bad luck with purchasing i guess, all the bootleg records i have are up to par with my official release records, the cover sleeve on some of them are a little off but the records sound great, i've just learned with some bootlegs its worth spending a little extra
I own a bunch of vinyl bootlegs from the '70s. I love them! I'm also a collector of concert recordings and a taper (i.e., live concert recordist) myself. There's a lot more to the story, too. I recommend the book "Bootleg - The Rise & Fall of the Secret Recording Industry" for a fairly complete history. Most of the boots from the '70s were in plain white sleeves with printed sheets of paper as a "cover" inserted into the shrink wrap. The fancier ones had actual printed covers, but they were pretty rare, and there was no guarantee they sounded better.
Were do you buy them from
@@nathanielsoto4864 Ebay and record stores, though they can fetch a pretty penny, especially for bigger-name artists. Record shows are also a good source, too.
Song of the day: I ran (so far away) - A flock of seagulls
Also, R.O.I.R. was a cassette only label that released the first Bad Brains album. When I was a kid, "bootlegs" only meant unofficial live recordings and I had a lot of them. Many had just white labels with no track listings. Good times.
Yes, I have only 2 bootlegs, one I bought for 10$ the other from a lot that I bought. Both in perfect condition so I was really happy :
- Supertramp 1976 Amercain Tour (TAKRL905)
- The Cure Forever (80-83), limited 300 copies
Song of the day “Would?” - Alice In Chains
Song of the day- The Beatles-Paperback writer
dude your voice is so calm and soothing, new subscriber here 👍👍
Song of the day: Life is a Rock but the radio rolled me By Reunion
I nominate Tracey Ullman's cover of it. ❤
Bootleg cassettes are super big in the Vaporwave community but in most cases its celebrated the two big labels associated are Qingdao Market and Deluxe Vaporwave Cassettes. Qingdao Market has a real great sense of humor about it
I have an Amy Winehouse Bootleg of rare recordings of her live performances that never got released. Was a huge piece of treasure to me since her passing I miss her so much!
The first time I heard the awesome Jethro Tull 'Bursting Out' album as a kid was on what only could have been a bootleg cassette tape my parents bought overseas. Every side of the tape just stopped in mid song when the tape ran out. I remember the final side of the album started right smack in the middle of "Cross Eyed Mary" and as soon as the album was over, it was only a matter of seconds before the tape ran out. It wasnt until I bought the album on CD in 2002 that I could hear the full version.
Song of the Day: "Lonely Day" - System of a Down
Great song, it's even my mom's favorite song of all time!
I was at an outdoor record fair once. I was just getting into vinyl, so when I found David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.... on blue vinyl, I thought: that's cool! and it was only 20 euros or something, so not that much. I only found out later that it was a bootleg, because in It Ain't Easy, sometimes, the grooves don't have sound, it's just silent for a second, then the music continues. Seems like it wasn't pressed right... Still cool to have though
On a side note. I have a “Despecialized Edition of the Star Wars Trilogy” on blu-ray. No deleted scenes, unaltered special effects or endings. Basically it’s a remix of laser disc, dvd, blu-ray, film stock, matte paintings etc. All put on HD Blu-ray audio/video. Painstakingly put together over a few years. Look into Harmy’s Despecialized Edition. For a true Star Wars fans!!!
I assume that was way cheaper than my Laserdisc players (yes, plural,) and my ultimate edition Star Wars trilogy on Laserdisc. Widescreen!
I just pull out my Star Wars Definitive Collection (LaserDisc) anytime I want my Star Wars fix. :)
bootleg CDs is a big part of my childhood
Last year I finally found new factory-pressed cds of Def Leppard's First Strike and Warchild to go with the E.P. cd that I found decades ago. Moving on to hunt for bootleg vinyl picture discs now.
Great videos, best vinyl channel ever
Good to know I almost bought that and glad I didn’t now. Hope they release an official version soon.
When I started collecting vinyl records about a year ago I desperately wanted queen Innuendo on red vinyl. I wasn't aware it was a pirated bootleg release. I only found out after I played it, when it didn't sound right. Most of the songs were in mono and not the right versions than those on the original vinyl record from 1991
I’ve got quite a few Beatle bootlegs on both LP and CD from the 1980s. Back then, before the anthologies, it was the only way to get the unreleased tracks, alternate versions, demos etc.
I'm so glad I watched this video. I was really considering tracking down a copy of that Fear Inoculum bootleg.
As for ones I do own, I accidentally bought a bootleg of Prince's Hit n Run Phase One without knowing it was a bootleg until I opened it and added it to my Discogs. It's pressed horribly off-center so I just don't play it! I also purchased a Madonna bootleg that had some bonus tracks from her Rebel Heart album, but I did that knowingly. That one actually doesn't sound too bad!
I just realized a week ago I bought a Charli XCX bootleg for her number one angel LP. Her and Sophie’s records are supeeer rare, but I’m still pretty happy and stoked with it. I think her Pop 2 had a repress, but original pressing was a gatefold exclusive of those two albums.
There was a triple boot LP of The Who live at Madison Square Garden from Sept. ‘79 which sounded AMAZING. Played it to death. Not like most of them.
I have several booties in my collection and the most notable one would be “Demon Days” by Gorillaz. This one sounds decent but I also have a Queens of the Stone Age “Songs for the Deaf” bootleg that sounds amazing. Like the video mentioned, if you can get your hands on boots of rare albums then enjoy them. I’ve heard bad ones but the ones I do have sounds good-great depending on which I play.
10% bootleg opinions
90% Song of the Day
All the bootlegs I have are from live shows. Mostly early 80’s U2. The sound quality can vary greatly depending on how it was recorded. But I think it’s really cool to have them even if the sound bad because it was from a live event. As opposed to buying a boot that’s a copy of a studio release.
I have a few bootleg cassette tapes I found at one of my favorite record stores. The mostly consist of R&B and Rap from 2000-2002, including one that has a “somewhat rare” Michael Jackson Remix.
I have a couple of local radio dance mixes that I have come across at local thrift stores. White labels stations name, artist, title original release on one side then extended release on other side. I also have seen 12 inch singles labeled studio use only and property of the record label at thrift stores as well.
Song of the day - Buffalo Stance by Neneh Cherry
Live bootlegs are the best. I just like to have live records of my favorite bands to hear all the differences they do live or different set lists, crowd banter etc...The last record show I went to a guy had a whole section of Italian bootlegs of all the big 70’s bands that were recorded straight from the soundboard. The next show is on the Feb.27 and I hope he comes back because I regret not picking up a couple of them.
Most of the BOOTLEGS I had/own my brother and friends from roughly my era (I’m 58 and in the UK) were of live recordings ,and mostly of IRON MAIDEN ,usually when they played live ,so someone had portable tape recorders,had/got a few where someone in the recording studio done his/her own recording with outtakes etc
I also had Gary Numan,The Specials etc as well of lots of comedy tapes etc.
There's a weird South Korea Megadeth Killing is my Business vinyl with a "Music for Nations" label instead of the original Combat label. Don't know how it sounds but thought it was interesting to run into.
Great vid!!
As a Mac Miller Fan, despite the dodgy quality of some bootlegs, it is a guilty pleasure of mine collecting these bootlegs. Some of his projects never were pressed on vinyl and likely never will be due to the sampling (like his "Faces" mixtape), so to get all his work that he has done in the vinyl format, the bootlegs are the only option. I don't mind, but some may totally be turned off from this route and I completely understand why.
And great video as always! Your content is always fantastic to see pop up in my feed! :)
with bootlegs it more than often helps to look up what others say about sound quality. Discogs of course is mostly there for people to categorize their vinyls but you very often also can find questions like you got at the beginning of the video. How does this sound... etc. so its often also a good idea to look at comments on discogs to see what people there think of the sound quality.
I also have that Tool Bootleg and it sounds Great.
Hey Jerett! Glad to see your back! How's your January been? 😊
It went well, thank you! Making more videos for y'all! What have you been up to?
@@vinyleyezz Crosley sponsored NASCAR plz make a vid on it
My opinion on counterfeits: If an album e.g. from the 90s is sold for some crazy prices on Discogs and (and that's the actual problem) is actually bought by people at these prices but neither the artists nor the labels seem to care that you get the album for a normal price and do a repress, then I have absolutely no problem with counterfeits as long as they sound good.
I have a Faith No More concert boot LP that cleverly took its barcode image from a specific Kerrang magazine issue that featured FNM on the cover. Thought that was a fun little easter egg.
Hey wait.... was that me??? Fun video.
Cheers,
Frank
It is! Enjoy your videos! Glad you liked this one 😊👍
The only bootleg I own is a Bathory one called Bloodbath. It's got a bunch of non-album tracks from the Jubileum compilations as well as the original tracks where Bathory debuted on Scandanavian Metal Attack. Doesn't have all my favorites but it has enough that I'd say it's worth it.
Record Fairs from the 70's, 80's. 90's. The sellers traveled from city to city. You'd hear about them on the radio.
That's where you scored the rare Zep, Stones, Beatles, Pink Floyd, GDead (live/outtake) albums and VHS tapes.
When was I getting into Jazz, I've bought a few of gray market records from labels like Jazz Images and WaxTime. They don't sound great, but one thing is that the gatefold covers from Jazz Images are so nice to look at 😁. But now that I know better, only stuff from like Blue Note, Prestige, Riverside, Pablo, Impulse and Verve fill my collection..
I have the 1985 3 record bootleg "Springsteen - Dancing in Dublin". Every once in a while I see a copy for sale in the $300 range.
Bootlegs are common especially back in the tape days. 8 Tracks and Cassettes boots could be found at every truck stop. I own some of the tapes and some Beatle boots as well. I do have a AC/DC that sounds really great actually recorded by a radio station in the 1970's and my Beatles ones don't sound terrible and of course the 8 tracks depended on the source material usually didn't sound much different from the original recordings.
Started my vinyl journey just a month ago and bought a rammstein record and ACDC's Back in Black. Now that i'm learning more about bootlegs and stuff I realize my first 2 records both were bootlegs.. Oh well, They do look kinda nice, a purple ACDC record is unique haha
Believe it or not I find that counterfeited Prince records are cheaper to buy then the original pressings. Rainbow children for example is over $700 on discogs, the counterfeit I paid $30 bucks for it.
That is why they are reissuing princes albums.
Bathory’s official distruibutor label black mark makes notoriously bad remasters and sourced reiussues from remastered CDs etc. This along with the legendary nature of the band leads to origibal copies being very expensive, so when a fanclub bootleg of the first 3 albums got released with the audio sourced from the original master with a high gloss artwork and japanese obi strips aswell as a gold vinyl version I simply had to pick these up. Honestly some of the best records I own.
Enjoyed the vid.
I had similar experience. Found a sealed copy of Tool - Ænima. Brought it home, opened it up. And noticed it had no etching on record or number on the jacket spine. So I now realize it’s “unofficial”.
However it sounds pretty nice. And I’m happy to have it.
Lastly what I’ve come to realize is. Certain tool albums official/unofficial are seeming to be pretty tough to find.
So that being said...nice score!! Cheers!!
I got two bootlegs, one from a Bruce concert that I love and one that’s a short Stones compilation
I have a decent collection of Devo bootleg records. Like ten or twelve. I always get excited to find a new boot.
It's been a while, Jarrett. Welcome back!!
ahhhhh, we wanted to hear it!
last week I bought station to station by David Bowie and I couldn't find its version on discogs, thanks for posting this I'll try to figure out if it's a bootleg or not
The two bootlegs I've actually been looking for are both Pink Floyd ones: One is from 2017 called Live At Pompeii 1971, and the other is just any vinyl bootleg for Pink Floyd's The Wall tour from 1980-1981, preferably from a source where the band had an almost flawless performance
i have a few bootlegs and have never had a problem it has help me devlop my collection to album that have not been pressed on vinyl on or are very like blonde by frank ocea
I just stumbled upon a bunch of bootlegs in eastern germany. Some were Amiga licensed one from the GDR, some from the Soviet Melody label and probably not licenced but also not illegal over there at the time.
I recently bought a Smashing Pumpkins bootleg of a live show that sounded pretty good. It came from a radio broadcast. Yes I knew it was a boot.
My first record ever was a bootleg. It's a compilation of "world hits" starting with the Jaws theme as track 1 on side A (aaaaand I forgot the rest 😂).
Oh, I think there's an ABBA track too.
For song of the day I will toss my hat in the ring for a song that almost brings me to tears everytime I listen to it. Its 猫 シ Corp. - 8:46 AM off his album News at 11. The entire side A & B of the album uses samples from television ads and programs that ran on 9/11 right before the towers fell. Its almost an eerie and haunting experience to drink in.
God Bless the United States of America.
Song Of The Day - "Wearin' That Loved On Look" by Elvis Presley
I love bootleg LPs. My local record store always gets tons of them around November or December.
In the past few months I have discovered a local place that sells bootlegs, and I initially bought a few (Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Kiss, Pantera), and they looked and sounded great (still probably a digital source). So I went back and bought some more. Thney look and sound as good. I would probably only continue to do so for album either impossible to find now on vinyl, or never on vinyl. I'd obviously prefer original copies, but until reissues legitimately, there is no way that will happen.
I own three Led Zeppelin bootlegs from live concerts. Two vynils and one CD. Of course the quality is not 100% good, but it is a great register of a moment in history that, otherwise would be forgotten.
I have a boot of Paul McCartney Wings Over America from the board. Came in three vinyl disks. Red, white and blue.
Yes i knew it was a boot. I just wanted to collect it because it is rare.
I have a bootleg of Death Grips’ ExMilitary on 2x peach-colored vinyl. The original pressing is pretty expensive so I was able to find it on Discogs for about $25. I knew full well it was a boot but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. The sound quality is actually pretty extraordinary and the artwork is great! My only beef is the sleeve since it’s starting to tear from the bottom. Overall, however, I love it.
There are some pretty good bootlegs out there. I recently bought a Fleetwood Mac live bootleg (Live at the Forum '82)- and it is quite amazing. It sounds wonderful and clear. The only issue is the cover - it looks a little bit fuzzy. But it is great
I have a few bootleg vinyl albums and yes I knew they were bootlegs because it says unofficial pressing on the back but I love the albums that I picked up
Jarrett, I hope you are doing well...I saw the Almost Famous Soundtrack for 34.99 at a record shop over the weekend. It actually had a sticker that said they could not guarantee the quality since it was "not made by the studio". On discogs, this record goes for stiff change so I passed since the quality might be low.
Yeah with bootlegs it’s really a toss up on sound quality so I’d pass on it as well! Good decision lol 👍
@@vinyleyezzwell I see we’re your coming from well I’m a huge fan of The Rolling Stones I buy everything by them well there the only band that I whould buy bootlegs of I have some bootlegs of the stones and they sound amazing great I have some live albums and they were about the best live recordings the stones ever did and they sound better then some official live releases Love You Live is my favorite live stones albums I have some stones albums with unreleased songs well I brought them because u can’t buy rare stones songs anywhere and to this day the stones never released a lot of songs to this day that’s why I want bootlegs I have everything the stones ever made but on cd
They actually never released 10000 Days on vinyl. But there was a bootleg with a black record, and a beautiful jacket, that is sold online for $50-$70
I had almost bought tools first album on vinyl but now that I have learned about how bootlegs work I’ll maybe display it on the wall without ever touching that record
You can easily tell if the vinyl audio is sourced from a lossy audio format by pulling the jackplug on your headset a couple of millimeters out of the amplifiers jackplug socket. or just enough to hear the sound "change". If you hear background noise that sounds "autotuned" or compressed\under water - well then you most likely have a low quality source, and of course the lower the lossy bitrate the easier it is to hear
same applies to compact discs, you can also use a frequency \ spectogram meter on cd audio, if there is a staight line around the 16khz mark then its clearly a mp3, not sure if that same logic applies to vinyl
Man, i love bootlegs, exactly because how weird and janky they are.
My latest addition is the "Remixes and Rarities" from Billie Eilish (the A side label is pressed, the B side label is glued, this seems to be unique to my copy), but also have couple of white label "DJ promos" containing rare/obscure 80s dance tracks, and some punk 45s recorded from cassette.
And my music was also bootlegged in Mexico :D
I just realized that I bought a bootleg Amy Winehouse record without realizing it - and from Amazon, no less! Your videos are always informative. Thank you for always making relevant content!
