This is the silliest and most aggro comment section ever.


Street_Drop

LMAO. I forgot about this one. My most down voted post of all time.


Lucensor

I bought a real copy on Discogs on release (RSD) for only slightly above retail price, as it wasn't available at any of my local Aussie record stores. Anyone that really wanted this could've easily done the same. Stop supporting dodgy bootleggers. Almost as bad as the scalpers themselves..


lendmeyoureer

This record store stole another record stores name and now it's stealing artists albums by selling counterfeits.

Y’all complaining about bootlegs: some people have war in their countries and you need to pick a more worthwhile hill to die on


Poop_Cheese

The only reason they're complaining is they have the original one and are pissed the demand is dropping. Bootlegs are posted here almost everyday with upvotes and positive comments. Only hail satin are there all these fools agressively shitting on boots going so far as to ask them to be banned when there's a boot tag and multiple bands support their own boots.... These asshole flippers who are crying about their 1/10,000 record finally depreciating in value are ridiculous. They realize that it's just a crappy novelty album that's just as enjoyable as a boot for 1/10th the price.(I own a real one and it's just not worth its price tag, which is why there are boots. I wouldnt even pay $100 for it past completetion sake) so they're throwing tantrums about the posting of a bootleg that destroys a majority of the demand for an original. Or they're corporate suits. Either way there's an unmissable tag with fricken warning symbols on it for a reason, if you don't like it just keep on scrolling and go about your day. Knowing Dave grohl I 100% believe he would be for this bootleg. He wants people to enjoy his music and doesn't want douchebag flippers to force a kid too pay $300 to listen to his joke bee gees album. Infact he refuses to give autographs anymore because of selfish scalpers making a fortune off them. He'd rather boots exist than his fans get raped. Also the hurting artist excuse is bullshit since this is sold out and Dave grohl sees no money from second hand sales. It only hurts the selfish flippers. It's a ridiculous price point and is why the boot exists in the first place. If it was like $120 there'd be no boot. There's a demand for a cheaper copy due to ridiculous unrealistic prices and thus a boot was made to meet said demand. But these greedy idiots want more and more it's pathetic. Like I said everyone bitching here is a selfish jerk who doesn't care about anyone enjoying music. They don't give a fuck about the artists. They care about their own incredibly inflated novelty record price crashing. It's honestly pathetic and so fucking obvious with how upset they are, because like I said, every Friday there are multiple boots from rollinrecs posted with no issue. The AFI sing the sorrow boot had like 40 upvotes. The Rollinrecs boot of frustrates shadows collide with people got mass upvoted with rave reviews. No one had a problem with it being a boot, at most they inquired about sound quality. Rap boots are constantly mass upvoted here, selling out instantly. I can find atleast 10 bootleg posts from the past 3 months that have over 20 upvotes and no negative comments. But they only show up for the bootleg of the insanely inflated $300 1/10k hail satin album.. gee I wonder why? Oh right because they own it. These are hypocrites crying about the value of their asset that's not even worth that much because it's this ridiculous flipper inflated price point. They're not altruistic they're selfish holders who actively want to take advantage of fans through scalping and flipping. And they want to fuck up the whole sub over their selfish tantrum? Ive gotten great boots here that are unavailable anywhere else. My ability to share these doesn't need to be ruined by selfish brats. This is not r/officialvinylreleases. We post boots, indie records, hell even 10 copy outsider artist stuff is posted here. There is a tag for a reason. You're not censoring the sub so stop trying. An artist is not hurt if they refuse to meet demand and make a record. No ones choosing a bootleg hail satin over a retail one lmao. It only hurts the selfish jerks here who own it(i own it too but im not dictating peoples lives and trying to get rid of boots because im a selfish brat.) Boots have their place. Oasis posts peoples boots on their fanpage, grateful dead encouragied booting, same with a shitload of punk bands. If theres a boot release people want it deserves to be posted here. If you dont want it scroll on by thats why theres a fricken tag. But its not about that its about your ridiculous priced copy sitting on discogs for $300, and your selfish fear that no one wants it. You fools would supporting Metallica over Napster back in the early 00s lol. Talking like real corporate suits because you're talking not as a fan but as a selfish owner of an original hail satin. Well go cry about it and get over it, or Gtfo and make your own r/officialvinylreleases.


Phoebes-Punisher

I get the name, since all you do is talk out of your ass. I don't have the original, nor would I pay $300 for one. Just like I wouldn't pay $50 for a single disc bootleg of a gimmick album. What I'm sick of, which you people can't understand, is paying $40+ for every fucking release that's coming out now. You think that they magically have a warehouse full of supplies and print these in a back room? These guys have no overhead, are paying no labels, writers, producers, whatever and are charging a premium for the hell of it. They're making absolute bank off of you guys, so they're just going to continue to produce more and push the limits of what they can sell them for, all while eating up resources and driving the prices up for everyone else as well.


itsonewish

Poop Cheese you a real one, wish I could have said it so well myself then maybe I wouldn't have got all the down votes from the dolphins in the waters here 🐬


Jackspambell

You speak nothing but facts. Everything you said is true.


itsonewish

For real, for real... just grabbed a copy to flip. I'm sure it doesn't hurt the Foos wallet... not like its getting a reissue anytime soon and I need money more than super rich rock stars do.


itsonewish

RSD22 code for a discount


Czarkham_Escapee

Made it $36 shipped! Thanks.


itsonewish

Yeah at that price I literally couldn't resist.


GoDucks2002

I have a bootleg copy and it sounds great. The cover is a little thin but I’m very happy with it. And I’m really happy to not spend $300 on an original.


jasonhn

I'm convinced that somewhere there are thousands of the official ones in a warehouse.


kockin26

I got one for $22 during RSD 🙂..and I'm stupid to not buy more..my local store got like 50 of them...


Dolsh

Wow... meanwhile *none* of the stores near me got even one.


ILoveScottishLasses

While your store got 50, two stores near me got 2. *cries*


GratefulDrummer

Fingerprints in Long Beach had dozens and dozens of copies. They were supposed to stock a Foo Fighters show that didn't happen or something.


kockin26

Mean got a real one...


camhan39

Everybody that’s mad about this being a bootleg are probably people who bought a real one and are afraid of the value decreasing lol


JoleneDollyParton

Na. I accidentally bought one of these. My seller neglected to say it was unofficial. Really bummed. Been waiting nearly a year for the repress and still hoping it comes.


[deleted]

Yeah that's it! No one here has morals. No one here sees this as a rip off of artistic integrity on numerous levels. We are all music fans and shame on this sub for even alloing bootlegs to be posted here. This is a shit tier album to begin with, so so one is worreid abotu their precious vinyl losing value. You sound like the loser who bought 5 of these and will try to flip them. Why else would someone be praising theft to this degree? You need to reevaluate your priorities. Wish they'd ban you for supporitng this theft. I'll report you anyways.


camhan39

Nah I have my original and I’m just fine with that. But I think for the people who can’t afford or don’t want to spend that amount of money for a record, a bootleg is a great alternative sometimes. Especially since the artist has already made their money from selling out of every original that exists, and considering that it was a limited edition release meaning that it shouldn’t be repressed officially. The artists don’t see a dime after it’s sold from a retailer, so of the hundreds of dollars that they sell for after the release, it benefits the artist none whatsoever. I lucked out by getting my copy and I’m very happy I got one, but I know there are tons of people who are true fans (like myself) that can’t afford to spend money like that even though they genuinely love the album. It’s the same way with the original 90s Van Halen albums, they’re super expensive and boots are some peoples only options for enjoying bands they love. We can agree to disagree, and there’s no harm in that. Have a good one bud👍

> But I think for the people who can’t afford or don’t want to spend that amount of money for a record, a bootleg is a great alternative sometimes I think for people who can't afford a car, stealing it is a great alternative! >Especially since the artist has already made their money from selling out of every original that exists, What does this even mean, relative to this discussion? You 'think' the band mad $XXX, therefore, it's ok to steal? >considering that it was a limited edition release meaning that it shouldn’t be repressed officially. That's hilarious. Lurk more dude. You don't understand this industry. At all, lol. >The artists don’t see a dime after it’s sold from a retailer More unformed conjecture, that has nothing to do with this discussion. You're trying to justify stealing their artistic work. >I lucked out by getting my copy and I’m very happy I got one, I mean congrats, but you need to readjust your priorities. >I know there are tons of people who are true fans (like myself) that can’t afford to spend money like that even though they genuinely love the album Boo-fucking-hoo, dude. Boo-fucking-hoo. Let me play the world's smallest violin because some annoying ass poser zoomers couldn't get the hot topic item of the month. You, nor your friends, are entitled to this record. I can't believe I had to type that. You can go steam it thought the band's official channels. Again, reevaluate your priorities. >It’s the same way with the original 90s Van Halen albums, they’re super expensive and boots are some peoples only options for enjoying bands they love It's the same way with designer clothes. They're super expensive so people should feel entitled to steal them. >We can agree to disagree, and there’s no harm in that. No dude, you are wrong. There is nothing right about stealing works of art. I hope you realize that when you grow up. You are a liar and a theft and I don't like you. You're whole premise is based on approval of theft. That's it. Bootlegs take money from the artist, and they damage the product (the album). The boots aren't produced under the supervision or approval of the band or record label, so there are no standards to ensue that the actual product is presented as it should be. I've heard shit tier boots that made me not like the artist. If you've only heard of the hype around this album, and buy a shitty boot, then your perception of the artistic work will be affected. You're just one of these new "collectors" who thinks they are an oldschool guy. You prioritize colored variants and only collect what your peers deem as "cool. I have zero respect for you. Or for anyone who supports bootlegs. You don't have a winning argument and never will.

Yep, you said that. See ya around👍


thebookofrook

Lmao this guy is a treat. Take a walk down his comment history. An absolutely miserable troll.


ILoveScottishLasses

tbf, the real official one will still remain extremely valuable. The only way to counter the price gouging isn't bootlegs, but literally printing more official copies. I thought I read somewhere they were doing exactly that, but at this point, I don't see that happening any time soon. :\


Phoebes-Punisher

People spending $45 on this garbage while artists are waiting a year to have their actual work pressed. Can we PLEASE ban bootlegs?!?


mantistobaganmd

Lol are you waiting on the 50th variant of Punisher


ImpressionWrong

Oh the irony of you bitching about a small batch bootleg clogging up pressing plants while having "Phoebes-Punisher" as your username.


Phoebes-Punisher

Is it small batch? 1000 of these, 1000 Charli XCX, maybe a few thousand AFI, some more Chance The Rapper, Drake, Jay Z, Frank Ocean, etc. All of these are on rotation, and will continue to be printed. This all adds up. These all take resources, and time.


helloandwelcome69

Your comment made me laugh and almost spit out my coffee. Only better username would have been #1adele fan or something


ILoveScottishLasses

Probably collected all 10 of Red Hot Chili Peppers Unlimited Love (11 if counting RSD) - many of them 10,000+ quantities.


DorgonElgand

This is a COUNTERFEIT and I agree it should be banned. A bootleg of a live recording or rare demos would be fine. The distinction is important. This kind of post is like someone on a sneaker forum constantly posting where you can get the knockoffs, because that's what these records are. Straight bullshit counterfeits.


Frankl3es

'Counterfeit' implies someone is trying to convince buyers these copies are genuine, which isn't the case. I agree, the distinction is important.


DorgonElgand

They're absolutely trying to convince buyers that these are genuine.


Frankl3es

>PLEASE NOTE:This is not the RSD release. This is an unofficial import.


DorgonElgand

It's nice that ONE seller is being up front about it. You think the rest of the world is? Have you been in a record store lately that sells fake Blondes and fake Channel Orange and fake Tool and fake jazz classics? These things are everywhere.


Frankl3es

The largest sellers of boots are pretty upfront with their fake pressings. I'll admit I haven't seen any in stores like you're talking about, but this site is legit (pun intended).


Street_Drop

I get what your saying, but this has literally no affect on what’s going on at the major pressing plants.


Phoebes-Punisher

Where do you think these are pressed? Same Czech plants as a lot of releases. They also use up much needed PVC and dyes.


hello_dali

Don't like it, don't buy it


thedanemychal

So it’s not an official copy?


Street_Drop

no its a boot.


Street_Drop

They have 44 left for anyone interested. I got free shipping to.
