BOOTLEG RECORDINGS - We love them, but are they legal? What makes them special? Our thoughts...

Another great podcast! Love these guys. They are nothing short of music gurus! I'm going to get one of those Cannonball Adderly CDs. Thanks for the rec.

Just a few years ago I found original copies of the first four of those Beatle Ultra Rare Trax cd's at my local Goodwill. Couldn't believe it. My guess is someone passed away and their cd's were donated by family that had no idea of their worth.

Nice find!! I ALWAYS make it a point to take a right into the thrift stores for rarities - even if my wife would rather take the left into a deep ravine 😂

@@goldenimagemusic Have you read Clinton Heylin's 'Bootleg: The Secret History Of The Other Recording industry'? That's what sent me and my friends off on the bootleg journey in the early 90's.

This brings back memories of going to Woody's Music in Charlotte near UNCC. He had a whole wall of bootlegs. I picked up a lot of SRV, Clapton and Hendrix. And he had a guy that sold vhs tapes of concerts. Up to 2 hours for $20 I think lol

Hey Josh - do you still have your bootlegs? The OG’s (especially on vinyl) are getting harder to find - I recently picked up some Stones BL records at the Raleigh Flea Market - I had to haggle hard and ended up leaving and coming back to settle on an OVERPRICED “deal” - they sound good but wow! Worth holding in to for sure - stay cool 😊🎧📀

@@goldenimagemusic sadly no most of them I sold away and I can't even remember why. I'm slowly recollecting now. Luckily I did move them all to a hard drive beforehand

[@goldenimagemusic]

@@SloshedJoshCollectorwell at least you still have remnants- I know the day will come (sadly) that I will have to move all these records and CDs - but they are safe for now!!!😊
