Record stores certainly don't like to use the B word, so the usually call them "white labels.  The definitely aren't legitimate, since most of the time there's no chance in hell they could afford to license the lengthy samples, or in some cases the couldn't get permission to use them at all.  I remember when DNA did a bootleg mix of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" as "Oh Suzanne".   Her label was ready to sue their asses, until she convinced them to release it.  It ended up as a successful hit in both the US and UK.
 
How about "bootleg white label"?  :)

Rather than bootleg, their usually a white label.  Sometimes as few as 25 copies, more common say 500 to 1000 copies.  If you see 'em act fast, cause they sell out quickly.  Their not official releases and labels don't seem to bother going after them.   One other point, their usually only available through a DJ type shop.  (i.e.
Dr. Freeclouds, Higher Source, etc.)  You won't find them at Virgin or Tower.
