Oops - I meant to write *un*authorized actually Thor. Sorry.
I actually have not heard the boot, but 9.9999999999999999 times out of 10 the sound quality in these things is inferior to the original, even if not appalling (which it sometimes is, I do have a few bootlegs I confess.) If you didn't know that it was a fake, no blame I suppose. Just get the real one when you can, you won't regret it, and chalk the mistake up to experience.

And please pardon my ignorance, but I'm still a little fuzzy on what I bought. I'm not sure I understand how a "bootleg" (which I always thought denoted piracy) could be "official" or "authorized". Could you please clarify basically these two questions for me: Did Kraftwerk make money off of the record I bought? Is the blue & yellow version pirated? How is the sound quality in comparison to the original (if you happen to be privvy) ? I am against buying bootlegged (which in my mind means pirated) vinyl. I get really angry when I learn I accidentally did.
