All over Ebay and going for similar prices as the yellow vinyl - someone is making a bob

I can think of at least 3 companies who won't be happy to see this, not to mention the artists, and that's before we start on here!

Who cares?

I bet Adidas do!

It truly has gained NS status now, it's been booted.

Is it a bootleg?

 

Seen others on the same label stating it's a limited Japanese press.

 

Other tracks appear to have been used on Adidas adverts (hence the Originals label)

 

You could, until he last few days, buy these off reputable online dealers (Juno, Piccadilly records, Rarekind) now all out of stock.

Okay!

There are BINs on now at £25 and others tied up bidding @ £50+ for it?

It's been listed on here and removed already

I was a reputable dealer and stocked bootlegs for 20 years

Here's the label back catalogue. You'll get a clue from the 'unofficial' bit next to the releases. The Japan bit is there to throw you.

There you go then - didn't take em long, but in these computer savvy days all you need is a soundfile and a credit card, and hey presto you can have a quantity of anything pressed.

 

At least they aren't trying to fool anyone with the labels.

Soemone will be buying a new car next week

Juno is littered with bootlegs, both new (old) releases like this and represses of disco/house/techno records going back 40 years or so that they list as 'warehouse finds'.

Record shops take anything in if it'll turn a coin, trust me.

That's the problem though: vinyl mastered from CDs sounds fairly crappy (not including the likes of Daptone, Timmion et al who record with vinyl in mind).  And if it's vinyl mastered from CD that was ripped from OG vinyl in the first place, you don't have to be a genius to expect it to sound like the dog's breakfast .

 

(apologies for possible mixed metaphor there...)

is there not one major that can use as a "standard"

 

eg

 

if they are flogging it then it must be a proper un?

Re the Adidas boot thing..............one question:

 

Why would you pay £50 for that when for little more (if you're patient) you could get both originals?

 

The world's gone mad!!
