  1. I love Godfather, Moonchild, and Eat A Peach. Quality releases and I might buy some Led Zeppelin stuff from Moonchild.

    I suspect it's already up on guitars101. They're notorious for taking recordings, stripping into file, and posting.

    Price you pay for releasing stuff into wild. The worst is bootleggers like Moonchild, Godfather, JulienLossless, or Eat a Peach records selling recordings.


    Ending up in a Tokyo bootleg store in 3... 2... 1...
  4. Quality releases only because they're stealing from other people's hard work. Don't subsidize their theft. And many of their remasters are garbage sounding.
  6. It's overrated.

    When I was in japan, I went to blind faith records which has lots of bootlegs. I went in and heard them playing U2 Saitama 2006. I spotted multiple U2 bootlegs, bunch of which were mine. I asked what show was paying over the PA and they pointed me to the Saitama 2006 set for large sums of money. I generally made my way out.

    After hanging outside for a bit trying to figure out our next move on th confusing metro system, the owner came out to chat. Talked about the recent U2 shows, which we attended. He said he knew Xavel was looking to release, and they had 2 to 3 tapers doing iem. I played him a bit of my quick mix on my phone, which coincidentally came up to Red Hill, which had lots of counts. We had a good laugh and he offered me a discount on the bootlegs inside. I joked about it because I saw several pressings of my Sao Paulo recordings. He was polite about it at least but I declined the discounted bootlegs.

    Different culture there. Still remnants of a thriving bootleg culture, and tapers sell to the labels. I'd never do it.

    Yes indeed.

    As you probably saw my post on IORR, I only went to Blind Faith and another store because I was curious and I was amazed at how they get away with this. I didn't buy anything. But as you said, it is a different culture. Your Sao Paulo 4 recording I spotted as well as Rose Bowl 2017 multicam and Vancouver 2015 multicam you have worked on/contributed to (if my memory is correct).

    I think sure, visit the stores just as a curiosity, but don't waste your money on recordings that are available online, through torrents or other sites that the tapers have directly uploaded to or given their permission to be uploaded to. The bootlegs in those shops are extremely expensive, I saw some for 8,000JPY+.
  8. Too expensive even after the discount...

    Not to mention I have the master recordings!

    Moonchild records, which made up a bulk of the recordings, were clearly just downloaded off DIME and U2torrents.
  9. I'm not interested in those huge box sets as those aren't worth 50,000 yen or more. It's more of a novelty and nice thing to have. You just have to know the right labels I guess. Some find and liberate low gen recordings while some steal from others or are out there just for a quick buck. Read the reviews first online as I've found a few English sites the go over these gems.

    Hoserema, many thanks for Dublin/2018. It is amazing

    Or just not put money into their pockets and spend money on taping gear.
