RE: (313) Kraftwerk bootleg?
What should have happened [as we all know, discogs is far from perfect] is that a note should be added making it clear that the item is - still a rip off - but an 'authorised repress' [aka bootleg] of a real release rather than an out and out un-released set of tracks by the artist [another type of bootleg]. I might make a submission myself for that ammendment to be made for the entry, if no one else has by this evening. -Original Message- From: Emile Facey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 March 2008 07:56 To: Thor Teague Cc: list 313 Subject: Re: (313) Kraftwerk bootleg?

Actually just looked at the entry for the other thing and it already says it's a fake. -Original Message- From: Emile Facey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 March 2008 07:56 To: Thor Teague Cc: list 313 Subject: Re: (313) Kraftwerk bootleg?

Re: (313) Kraftwerk bootleg?
Thank you so much for the info. 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.

Re: (313) Kraftwerk bootleg?
All heads are engineers right? I always assumed... ;) All jesting aside, I'm listening to the bootleg side-by-side with the legit CD and it sounds like my lady's cat was thrown into a woodchipper, comparatively speaking--and she's none too happy about that. Live and learn I guess. :/ Thanks for the education. On Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 7:04 AM, Odeluga, Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oops - I meant to write *un*authorized actually Thor. Sorry. I actually have not heard the boot, but 9. 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. K
