Well, it was released on silver CD by a major label with professionally made cover art and sold in normal consumer record stores. I'd say that makes it an official release.
You call those things a criteria for being an offical release?!!?!
What other criteria are there? The only possible one I can think of is that it's something the band handed to the record company saying, "Here's our new album". But record companies can make up "best of" and other compilation albums without the say-so of the band. That certainly doesn't make them bootlegs. -- /* Soleil */
