Bootlegs may be live recordings (made by a member of the audience or taken directly from the concert stage mixing board) or studio material. These audio recordings are released without the permission or approval of the artist, record label or publisher. The quality of bootlegs will vary greatly, depending on the manner in which they were recorded, and on any mastering that may have been done. Bootlegs may be found on CD, cassette or vinyl. They are generally produced in small numbers, and often contain songs that an artist may only perform in concert, and that cannot be found on their singles or albums. Both factors contribute to the rarity (and therefore to the "collectability") of bootlegs. The advent of CD-Rs means that some recordings are being copied and so made more widely available; but those older, original bootlegs on "record labels" with "catalogue numbers" are still relatively rare.

We would like to stress that the manufacture, sale and distribution of unlicenced and bootleg recordings is ILLEGAL in over 150 countries. WE DO NOT MANUFACTURE, SELL, DUPLICATE OR DISTRIBUTE ANY OF THE TITLES LISTED HERE. There are many websites that will offer these recordings for sale, so have fun finding them!! You will NOT be able to purchase any bootlegs from AEGEAN RECORDS, but they do have several of George's official recordings for sale.
