Welcome back for the COMPLETE and TRUE story behind the RISE And FALL of The Swedish Famous bootleg label.
UPDATE - January 2019 was released in two very limited editions back in 1977/1978. First edition - 500 copies of
each album and the second edition - 500 copes of each album. Which means ONLY 1.000 copies of each album
was released in total before I got busted.
The difference between the first edition and the second edition are some misspellings on the covers. At the Hendrix cover I had misspelled GUITAR HERO and at the Sabbath double album I had misspelled KILLING YOURSELF TO DIE. And also some minor misspellings at the backside of the Queen album. In total the three single albums and the three double albums was manufactured/pressed (stamped) in ca 18.000 vinyl discs. Which means 1.000 copies of each album. I still have some covers of the second edition which are for sale. BUT NOTE - THERE ARE NO DISCS FOR SALE - ONLY COVERS! And NOTE - only a few copies of each found in my deep vaults. And of course - 100% LEGAL because I am the photographer/owner (copyright holder) of the images at all covers. In the future I shall sell some of my US made albums from my own private collection. Albums at Trade Mark of Quality (TMQ) label eg Bob Dylan - St. Valentine's Day Massacre (4 LP full color boxed numbered set - still sealed) from the mid 70s and many more from the beginnning, mid and the end of the 70s eg. Contra Band, The Amazing Kornyfone Record Label (TAKRL), Wizardo, Idle Mind Production/Vicki Vinyl, Rubber Dubber, Highway HiFi, Dragonfly Records and many more rare releases on vinyl which haven't been available for more than 40 years. UPDATE - September 2021 I have got thousands of emails with questions like as "what is a bootleg" and "what is a bootleg recording" to "where can bootlegs be find" and "is it possible to buy bootlegs online to download".
