    Local record stores near you will in time carry these bootleg records. They always do. A few were sold over @ discogs.com . There are many for sale on eBay regularly.

    What he said, and just calm down. These will make their way to US stores soon, just please don't over spend on one of these.

    You gotta wonder how likely it is that flippers are looking on these threads to get an idea of the demand for these.

    You will be able to eventually get all three for about $100 USD. Hopefully no one falls for that trap.

    Based on the description upthread of the sound of the record, combined with the number of copies and the colors of the records, I'm starting to think these must be silicone mold copies. I wonder if there is a way to test the material, to see if it's urethane (which would indicate silicone molds) and not actually vinyl. If I'm right about this, then it would seem to indicate that silicone mold copies do sound really good, and I imagine a bright future for this type of forgery :-P

    Other good tests would be wave-form vs. original, and also if there were a way to examine the grooves via microscope.

    I took a video of Inside job. I took the video with my phone, so the sound is not perfect (you can hear it when I tilt the phone, it changes), but you get an idea how it sounds...

    Just saw that someone by the name Neonhandshake has a blue listed with the real deal copies. Calls it limited edition blue vinyl. Not to mention he want $458 for it. I don't know how to report it. Someone smarter than me needs too.

    This guy is the worst. Did you see his Benny for $2000? All his stuff is ridiculously marked up, but to try and sell bootlegged copies as legit is 8-}
    I feel for anyone fooled out of their money because of this guy!

    A used copy and it's @ $77 bucks? lol

    There are new sealed copies cheaper then that price. And they keep popping up on eBay and other sources on a daily bases ...

  • Karojo820673Karojo820673 Posts: 201
    With shipping it's more like $104
  • aurynsdadaurynsdad Posts: 863
    I sent a question to the seller of the used one asking about the sound between the original and the boot, as he has both. I'm so curious if they have the same mastering.

    I have both as well. My sister picked up the boots for me on vacation and I have to say they are pretty well done and sound good/ look good. Definitely some differences but pretty close. My copies of ST are still sealed so can't do a comparison of sound. I've heard and seen a real ST at a friends house and when I play the boot I'm not disappointed. Maybe someone doing an A/B would feel different. One of my original Yield copies is open and the white boot again doesn't disappoint me. That being said these were a gift bought in Europe and total were only about $55. The prices that people are paying are what is out of hand and making them go up but if you can't afford what originals cost these days they are an alternative. If you don't have the moral hang up. I just think it's awful how some people are trying to sell these as something they aren't. If people want to charge a crazy price for it that is their right but false advertising to take advantage of people is just wrong. At least the ebay guy says what it is and put it at auction so people can decide for themselves.

    Thank you. Is there anything specific you can reference?

    ST cover is slightly darker, not as sharp. Again mine aren't open so I can't compare the booklet. Others have mentioned that the cover glossier. I believe someone posted pics of ST earlier in this thread. White Yield the sign isn't cut out of the cover, not as sharp and the cover isn't as heavy. I would imagine the same for ST. They are very close

    I think aurynsdad would like to know about the sound quality... As far as I'm concerned, I would say, it sounds pretty darn awesome. The highs are clear and nice (like in the piano part of Inside Job), the bass is awesome and not mushy, and overall, it makes a very good impression. But then again, I don't have the comparison to the original, because I don't have it on vinyl. If I would have it, I wouldn't have bought the bootleg.

    That was kinda my point from the 2 books I wrote about them. That there really wasn't a difference other than the cover art. The white Yield sounds like the original on my turn table
