Totally agree with you on the forgery vs bootleg distinction peter! Especially those snowy red forgeries are a scandal. How can people piss so shamelessly on someones grave??
Those are belgian btw.
But those french bootlegs discussed here are clearly BOOTLEGS not forgeries.
The League of Nation you mention, in spite of the extra track, still falls more in the forgery category. Agreed, there is a distinction with the original but it was presented as an “official 2nd pressing”. Something the twilight ritual can more honoustly claim, as it appears to have used the original masters for this. Let’s please keep the discussion clear!
Bootlegs and forgeries come from everywhere. Italians just have a lousy reputation when it comes to business practices in general. If you have trouble with that Peter, perhaps start with electing another prime minister…
