Yes the 100s of Love Trance bootlegs virtually wiped out the value of my original 'labelled up' copy :-( The fake 'mother stampers' finally went under the hammer after the bootleggers had exhausted the market with numerous coloured vinyl pressings. Popsike recorded the sale. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Antti Lavio <antti.lavio@possu.org> To: All bound for Mu-Mu Land. <klf@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, 23 September 2013, 15:18 Subject: Re: [KLF] bootlegging On 23.9.2013 16:55, Elliott wrote:
At the end of the day bootlegs are extremely collectable, I sold my Italian Madrugada bootleg vinyl an age ago but still wish I had it, I also have a nice collection of ultra rare trax Vol 1 - 10 Rolling Stones CD's, they are all bootlegs but look V nice in my CD rack. Also moonshine is made by bootleggers, and I like a bit of that.
I would say SOME bootlegs are extremely collectable. There is still difference between publicly sold bootlegs that have been printed 5000 copies and bootlegs that are for limited number of exclusive people, like Tom Said. I guess almost everybody remembers Love Trance craze couple of years ago? First "marble" ones went for +1000£ and in the end, you could get single sided press for 20£. Whoever did that, laughed all the way to the bank. +1 for the Moonshine though ;) -- anttil. _______________________________________________ KLF mailing list KLF@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/klf Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com
