This album of Alabama's " The closer you get..." is a duplicate from Hong Kong that I got during the 80s! I gave away most of the duplicates that I had (usually from Hong Kong). This is the last one in my collection! The music reproduction is pretty good too!

Duplicate, sometimes called as bootleg, in few case commands a very high premium among collectors..

for eg,, Sex Pistols bootleg

Hi Souravin,
The record in the first pic is pressed by Irangram Co, which was one of Iran's main record companies. In fact, the address given is Takhte Jamshid Avenue (or Persepolis Avenue) in pre-revolution Tehran. IMO, it may not be a bootleg as Iranians were big fans of Bollywood & film music in the 1960s.

I thought bootlegs of unreleased materials had certain value and not the popular selling music!

Watch out tonight, some original pirate records coming your way!!

I had thought that bootlegs were very different to pirated copies of commercial recordings. In my mind, bootlegs are "alternative" recordings, eg those made at live venues. As such, the music can be unique. Probably any serious fan of a band would have bootlegs in their collection.

The Grateful Dead, although jealously protective of the copyrights in their issued discs, made a point of encouraging concert taping. As a result, there is an enormous archive of freely available live performances.

The term bootleg refers to any illegal or illicit product, including unofficial (such as those made at a concert) or unlicensed (pressings made without obtaining rights) recordings.

Few more examples of bootleg (??)

This is Ajanabee Indian print EMI original EP

This is Malayasian print , a bootleg may be. This is a jukebox EP with big center hole.

However this seems to be a good print again Malayasian Deewar LP

And how do we name this print. During early 70s, Polydor came into Hindi Film music and HMV also made parody of their releases. Is this a bootleg?

The Train LP released by Polydor

HMV mimicked this way
