BOOTLEGS

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR THE COLLECTOR OF VINYL BOOTLEGS

This list doesn't include 'on demand' lathe cut editions from labels like Dire Straits Boys Production (DSBP) or Madenebe Records. I like bootlegs to be pressed and have a wide distribution or, at least, to have a known numbered limited edition.
