Re: [Fwd: Re: (313) "Retro Techno compilation" on vinyl !]
Hey KJ- it's not a bootleg as such- it's a good quality press and artwork etc and some of the original people are involved in the release I believe. I've been listening to both the Retro Techno and the Nu Groove comp all day- couple of "not stood the test of time" moments on the Nu Groove one but generally this is all as good as it gets in electronic music. Retro Techno :) I remember that sense of "wow, Techno music...I wonder if it'll still be around in 5 years" when this comp came out :) Now I'm playing it to my daughter!

Given the Network - Hard To Find Records connection, I would say it is difficult to classify as original or boot.
