[Robson]

This is not real publishing.

bootleg alert

Doesn’t look like a bootleg though, or they (mis)used the BG logo without permission I suppose?

Can’t believe bootleggers don’t respect copyright laws, disgraceful.

[localhero1986]

Well, typically not, but I haven’t seen a bootleg yet with full details like all logos, including the record company and a 1 on 1 copy of the artwork. So question remains: fake stuff or not?

And don’t get me wrong, I’m not selling these copies and do not want to promote any illegal copies for sales. Just wondering if someone else has seen it.

I don't thing that the CD can have the exact same cat number as for the vinyl :  00602458534214

And add the expanded tracklist.

Bootleg for me.

[Jules]

It's a bootleg.

And it's not the only one, there are many many others, usually from Russia.

Hmm, that’s strange indeed. I’ll remove the link in my post. Too bad!

[Pottel]

boot.

[Silvertown]

And I am 100% sure that we would be aware of an official version, before the release.

[vgonis]

I guess each fan hides a small collector in him, trying to create an altar of products bearing the artist's art or even only the name. Some draw the line on official releases, especially when it comes to artists like MK and DS, where unofficial releases are so many that even the most keen fan won't be able to afford even if able to track down. And the counterfeit ones, like this, might have some charm for the fan as well. I wonder about the quality of the printing and whether this is pressed or a CDr. When you receive it, would you mind sharing a review?

Sure, I’ll check it (if it arrives…). Back in the day, there were noumerous CD and especially single versions with either 1, 2, 3 or 4 tracks and different tracks. You never knew when you could stop collecting as another version popped up. I really miss those days.

[vgonis]

Thank you!Yes, now with discogs and fans online cataloging everything, part of the mystery is gone. On the other hand, you get to know things that otherwise would be up to luck to discover. Objects of desire, but if someone is after the music only, it is easier to track down.

[localhero1986]

What you all expected is likely true: 99% chance it’s fake. GL style print on the CD itself, booklet includes lyrics of first 4 tracks onl. Too bad!

[Dutchessy]

Will there be a CD release of The Boy?

I asked his managament and there is no cd version planned
