[Hateful_Reality]

I hate bootlegs as much as the next guy especially if the band is still active and believes in the music they've created. But really some of these bigger labels who have the money to buy up rights to these albums should take a fucking note from the bootleggers who use original photos (well they should be original if they are coming from the bands) , artwork and symbols. As much as I hate the bootlegs I've got to say the old school feel or sign of the times that these ones possess are appealing to me. BOB's standard look is too carbon for me. With that said I look forward to having DMT on vinyl.

Not that I'd ever consider producing a bootleg but at least have good quality music and images before you do it geez some people have no shame.

In my very personal point of view I find interesting some of this pirate pressings. Not the SATYRICON with the non-sense cover, not the ABSURD FC with a recent nice edition on SSP, but for example:

1. I think the OBSCURE PLASMA artwork is cooler than the BACK ON BLACK vinyl edition of the album LIVE IN LEIPZIG. The BOB vinyl have nothing speciall but is always about 22 euro and the pirate press look like a decent facsimile and is 25. A original copy for this album in first press = 100 euro. For me MAYHEM is dead since DMDS, so zero regret for not contributing financially to their addictions.

Conclusion: The pirate vinyl is an option for me.

2.I think the PENTAGRAM and GORGOROTH firstpress artworks are cooler than the (horrible) SEASON OF MIST vinyl edition. The SOM vinyl have nothing special (and looks horrible) but is always about 20 euro and the pirate press looks like a decent facsimile and costs 25. A original copy for those albums on first press = 100 euro. For me GORGOROTH is dead since UNDER THE SING OF HELL, so zero regret for not contributing financially to their addictions.

Conclusion: The pirate vinyls are an option for me.

An for the bands that their cd albums have been bootlegged into a vinyl only few words: BE CLEVER AND MOVE YOUR ASS BEFORE ANOTHER DO IT FOR YOU.

Another point, while you know that what you are buying is not original, it is clearly pirated and illegal and a basically worthless facsimile I think it's legitimate to acquire one. What certainly is something reportable is trying to sell these copies as 100% original!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess it really is about owning something on vinyl just for the sake of.. owning something on vinyl. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand some comments concerning the original artworks, I, too, share the same feelings about that, but does anyone feel ok with blown up pixeled covers? Some official reissues can suck as well on that matter, but is it really worth buying something that doesn't meet the desired requirements on both picture and sound?

That wasn't the point... it doesn't look great, doesn't sound great either. Why buy it?

Main point is, how join Burzum fan club?
I was high rank member of Bathory Horse, now must jump ship for low quality boots!!!

On SERIOUS note
I bought the Burzums. Simply I must have such old layout on shelf? Does not the "Det Som Engang" artwork look much better darker and with white logo? As for sound issue, who give the shits? I can play CD while hold LP cover, much same thing huh?

You could just print out a high-res scan of the cover and fondle that as you play your CD.
