That's my opinion too. I don't see how a bootleg producer could (a) produce a pressed CD and (b) sneak it into the normal distribution chain.
Record store buyers *and* distributors (which record store buyers buy from) sometimes (often?) dont have a clue about what are official releases or not. A distributor is not necesarily well informed about all artists, and may very well include CDs in their catalogue that a seemingly normal record label is offering them. I know, because I worked for record shops before and we were always offered bootlegs. glenn
