Bootleg Babies was such a quality production, I can see why it'd be a sought after collectible. But it's lame that someone is trying to profit from it.
Boots have been traded and sold forever, and I guess no one but the original artist has the rights to the music. Traders etiquette suggests you don't sell and many artists are cool with the hardcore fans trading. But this one, bootleg Babies, was more of a fair use recreation of a gig. Lots of effort and expertise. I guess if anything is on the internet, it's impossible to preserve intellectual property or control distribution.

Around 2001 when I found this forum (well, the old version) and was really discovering the band, I downloaded all the fan remixes and burnt them to CDR. Can't say it was a great hi fi listening experience. Now they're on vinyl, so the pops and clicks accentuate the low bitrate glitches! My own AVID remixes from that time, using freeware and dubious techniques have appeared....cool to say they're on vinyl, but again, who would pay for this? I guess if you were just discovering the band like I did 20 years ago, you'd be excited to hear something rare and you wouldn't know their free origins. 5 seconds on Google should tell you something about the obscurity of those remixers!

I would love a 6LP colored vinyl set, or something lathe cut.

there's a ton of cool new order bootlegs:


I think that would be pretty cool. But anyways.

I know it’s unlikely but I’m looking for a copy of Idea Magazine’s Underworld/Tomato book if anyone’s looking to sell. https://www.otaku.co.uk/products/109930

You might also be interested in Idea 337. I couldn't find any copies for sale though.

Dear collectors,

Now YOU can look just like Karl Hyde!

Sorry, this just popped up as an ad on Instagram. Karl really loves his black and white striped shirts as he has many variations it seems.
