My eyes roll backwards in my head every time Dillon says, “With my luck…,” after having shown 🔥🔥🔥 for the 19th straight video. 😂😂😂

Rerun got busted for bootlegging a Doobie Brothers concert on a "What's Happening!" classic episode.

[@alanrogs3990]

I remember that episode. He started dancing and the tape recorder fell out and the band stopped playing with one of the band members pointing at Rerun. 😂

Dilello worked at Apple, wrote "The Longest Cocktail Party" book in the early 70s about his adventures working there.

No need to apologize for having things in your shop. If people don't like it, who cares. You do an excellent job, Karen's gonna Karen 🤷🏻

Thanks so much! We try hard over here

Fantastic Post and what a haul of Boots..those TMOQ releases are great-i have a few Stones , Who ,Dylan etc in my collection and they are so good to have even if the quality can be iffy on some. Thoroughly enjoyable post and thank you so much for sharing yet again 👍👍👍

[@Matasky2010]

🤤..Dude, you're seriously blowing my mind here, please throw some of these beauties in your next show! If I didn't already have a trip booked I'd buy a ticket just to visit the store and grab some of these treasures!...Amazing.

[@samoset4_beatlesvinyl644]

So I believe the Bealtes As Nature Intended was a bootleg that came out in 1986ish and it was made to look like a press kit for what let it be was supposed to look like. I'm not big into bootlegs but when I saw that record at a record show I had to pick it up! The only other bootleg I'm looking out for would be that Bealtes Black Album!

[@Stonecutter334]

This is so awesome. Great stuff

Got to give a shout out to the Free Being in Greenwich Village NYC. They were the go to place for Bootlegs in the 1970's.

[@vinylrichie007]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sealed bootleg. That could be a reseal job.

Great video D always loved bootlegs. Those Zeppelin bootlegs are very cool. It would be hard not to keep half especially the trade mark boots. Thanks for the video brother 👍

[@monaural2.988]

At the Record fair I frequent, several dealers just copy the boot CDs en masse and charge 5 bucks per disc. Needless to say I long ago pretty much vacuumed up what I wanted. The original albums and CDs are just nuts in price now, so I don’t give them a second thought.

[@n84434]

Great video Dillon. What music playing in the background during the video?

[@dimebagdave77]

Wow!

[@Seattlegal2]

I have quite a few bootlegs in my collection. I think one of my best finds was a copy of the Ramones - Teenage Lobotomy. It was in near mint condition. I also have a lot of the Zeppelin boots you showed 😊

[@Mr__Pickle]

Those Taiwanese boots have always been really interesting to me. Living in north Alabama, I see them every once in a while as Redstone Arsenal (one of the largest military bases in America) is right down the road.

[@TheEzrider403]

Nice !

I was at that afternoon Led Zepplin September 19, 1970 NYC Madison Square Garden. Great show day after Jimi Hendrix died with a dedication from Plant. Great show, great fun, thought I would never enjoy a show after the music (Jimi) died. Zep was out with the 3rd album acoustic set in the middle of the show and were at their best. Zep helped bring music in my life after Jimi died the day before. Love to have that boot.

[@killrmillr]

I've got a copy of Led Zeppelin IV that is on a label called Cinq Sounds Reno Nevada. The center labels on the LP are plain gray and say Crash Music Promotions. The cover is very plain, soild red with "Led Zeppelin IV" and the track listing on the front in black lettering. A message at the top says "This recording complies with all requirements of Title 17, sec. 1 and 101 United States Code. All royal ties (sic) required by federal law have been paid."

[@Homebrew58]

There are a couple different flavors of bootleg. Primarily they were/are recordings of live concerts. You had the audience taped shows with some very meticulous tapers who became famous within the community like Mike Millard. They taped and traded with other tapers. Then there were the soundboard recordings that were taped right from the soundboard at the concert. A taper might pass the sound guy a little something-something to let him plug in or the sound guy himself might have recorded the show. A lot of Grateful Dead bootlegs originated this way. Another source for bootleg recordings were radio broadcasts. The BBC sessions collections of a lot of artists came from such tapes as well as David Bowie's Santa Monica '72 (now an official recording). Someone along the line either at the radio station made a copy of the source they were given to air or someone recorded the broadcast off the air. If the recording was made from the source material it is often labeled "pre FM" which many collectors would prefer to own since they were not subject to the compression and processing from the transmitter. As for the question of legality much of it in the early days was a grey area. in the US it was legal to own a bootleg tape. It was however illegal to copy or press to vinyl for the purposes of selling and illegal to sell. Many vinyl pressing plants were very small and when the owners got wind of a raid coming they could pick up and move to a new location. That is part of the reason there is very scant artwork on early bootlegs. The labels are plain with just a side number on them... or not and the covers were hand stamped. Side note: The Who Live at Leeds and Aerosmith Live Bootleg albums were made to mimic that graphic style. Copyright laws evolved since those early days and what were gray areas are now although as Dylan noted there are countries with more lax laws. But finding those early pressings from enigmatic labels such as Trademark of Quality, The Amazing Kornyfone Record Label and Wizardo Records holds as much appeal almost as the music on them.

[@greghawkins229]

I want that unsealed Beatles record. I promise I’ll pick it up in April. Lol

[@VinylPiper]

I can’t believe all those bootlegs and not one Pink Floyd bootleg!!!

[@noblerecords]

There was one! But I know, I was bummed there weren’t more Floyd

[@bigstar33thriftymusiccolle7]

Dylan, I have been running across Bootleg unofficial releases on Cassette Tapes from the late 80s and 90s. The Cars greatest hits and the Beatles and John Lennon at Antique Mall I have seen The Runaways on Bootleg at same place for $45.00. I have The Supremes greatest hits and jefferson airplane bless its pointed little head ona Bootleg. .Great video

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@alanrogs3990]

Illegal only after the Berne Convention and in the US domestically illegal after 1976 I think. I don't know about Italy's laws but in Japan copyright only seems to effect their domestic artists and not any overseas artists. That is why Shinjuku exists. The thing I have about current vinyl bootlegs is that they must be from digital files. I doubt anyone today is making these bootlegs from the original analog tapes. If they do I would be surprised. I'd rather just get a CD bootleg these days rather than a vinyl bootleg. Old school vinyl boots is obviously a different story. Great collection there!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much!

[@kornerstonekreations]

I just found you the other day. I have crates full of old albums that I inherited from untold sources. Going through them has been one of those "I'm going to get to that one-day" projects. One day has arrived, and I am ashamed of the condition these albums are in. However, it isn't any fault of mine, with the exception of the records that belonged to my parents that I tortured as a child, which I do take "credit" for. So, the reason I was looking for someone like you and your channel is the "Big Record Project". I am digging the resources you provided with Discogs and Popsike. Do you have a code for Popsike where you get credit for people signing up? If so, hit me with it, and I will use it before I sign up for the paid subscription. Thanks.

[@noblerecords]

I don’t! Sorry!

[@dawnpatrol700]

Anyone out there live in Connecticut in the late 80s / early 90s? Rhymes Records New Haven got a TON of bootlegs circa 92, especially Zeppelin- wish i had gotten them, they were all $ 20- $30. Capitol Record Shoppe in Hartford had quite a few bootlegs, for a small store. Platter Connection ( middletown and rocky hill) got busted for selling bootlegs of brand new Rolling Stones shows, the day after the show in 89 lol

[@dmaster5556]

[@ziggybowie2220]

Very nice. Just curious, do you use inner sleeves? Looks like you don't. Thanks!

[@noblerecords]

I do, I use mofi sleeves.

[@gerritvanderhoop8013]

Nice haul. The seller must have kept his Zappa boots. You know…his python boots.

[@Saturday_Records_On_Discogs]

Did the seller keep all the floyd? They are my favorite boots to collect.

[@noblerecords]

No, there was only one in this batch which is strange, I wish there were more!

[@enders357]

This is so cool!! I know you addressed it here but hope you’re being careful with what’s allowed in terms of selling these. The fact Discogs and eBay don’t let people sell them sets off a few alarm bells. But hell, I’m sure it’s fine, and these are very very cool.

[@lsw6292]

There are bootlegs for sale on eBay...i've bought quite a few on ebay. Discogs is stricter.

[@noblerecords]

I think the reason they don’t permit selling anything unofficial is to cover their butts on newer bootleg stuff that actually is illegal. Like people bootlegging actual albums.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

and what did you think of Neil Young and Eric Clapton suing over boots?

[@noblerecords]

I wasn’t aware of Neil young suing over it but Clapton said he regretted suing that widow and never collected her money. But that wasn’t in the states.

[@asupremelove5149]

It is still illegal however a lot of bands have loosened their views on them. They are more concerned about pirated material now. Honestly it was the studio outtake stuff that really got the various recording companies in a fit. The Beatles studio sessions , The U2 Salome aka Achtung Baby Sessions created a big splash in the water when it came out. These days boots are more accepted but pirated pressings of official albums is what they really don't like.

[@noblerecords]

Yep!

[@junkyardvinyl4811]

Surprised beyond the one Rolling Stone there wasn’t more Rubber Dubber boots.

[@noblerecords]

Yeah there were only a couple. Wish there were more

No, 70s bootlegs

[@davepounds8924]

Great collection of boots! Most of the older bootlegs from the late 60s and 70s sound like shit, are audience made but I guess are collectibles if you’re interested in that

[@Matasky2010]

True but many also sound great and give you a genuine in-concert experience. We're lucky many of these recordings even exist.

To me no difference than promotions. They clearly say not for sale.

Big difference- promos are pressed by the record company to preview songs/ play on the radio to hype upcoming album release. Boots do not have consent of band/record label.
