Re: New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg
The eBay seller who posted this is an entrepreneur who wants you to pay him $100 for a $10 item. Its release date is 7/19

https://www.discogs.com/Beastie-Boys...elease/2237141 https://www.discogs.com/Beastie-Boys...elease/2833482 Now "Record Store Day" seems to happen every other month and there are tons of releases and many more copies being sold online. The two I listed above were apparently much more limited (1000 copies and 500 copies respectively) so hopefully they'll be plenty of the 3" Sabotage to go around. |

At the time of it's release it was sold as a "Super Suprise" limited edition remix 12". Which is exactly what it was That is the rest of the story. |
Re: New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg
I love bootlegs. When they are designed to take money from the artist by copying the exact release and trying to pass them off as originals I can see why that would bother most people. On the other hand... When somebody takes the time to bootleg something on vinyl that you cant find elsewhere, I'm kind of grateful. To each their own. I'll cop that shit every time.

Plus I can't lie... if I had the money I'd probably press a few hundred copies of my fantasy bootleg: every official release that was never on vinyl. |

Re: New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg
i dipped out of going to RSD. i’ve probably missed out on some gems but i’m not a crowds guy and since it’s gotten popular that’s all it is nowadays. i have cherry picked some stuff off ebay here and there. the only beastie related RSD jawns i’ve picked up is the white label guitar hero and the marjor lazer no shame remix. are there many others?

I'm pretty much with you on RSD. The ones I went to usually didn't have what I was looking for and the manufactured rarity thing is just annoying. The stuff I want usually ends up on eBay and discogs for inflated prices. |
Re: New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg
The Lee Majors Come Again 7" promo were given away on RSD, and JSBE did a 12" with an imitation Def Jam sleeve that had covers of She's On It and Jack The Ripper.

Re: New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg
this vendor still has the 3 inch player released on record store day earlier this year. It comes with a 3 inch copy of a Foo Fighters song.
https://www.bullmoose.com/p/29261930...table-rsd-2019 they seemingly sold out of Sabotage pre-orders though. I was able to get mine before it was too late :) https://www.bullmoose.com/p/30919858...-record-player |

Re: New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg
Huh, I didn't know that! Pretty cool I suppose.
Wasn't the band (or maybe just Adrock) putting random 7"s into some of the box sets as well? Like, just some records they had laying around? I thought I remembered them going on some late night show and the host (can't remember if it was Conan or somebody else) opened his and Le Freak was included as a bonus. Maybe that was just for the show? |

Re: New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg
The Sabotage 3" releases are now all over Ebay for 40 bucks minimum. How are people getting a hold of these before the release date? Promos? Or you think someone is bootlegging them already?

Re: New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg
Not bootlegging. Monetizing what was originally intended to support/drive traffic to brick and mortar sellers by encouraging people to sit on their ass and order them instead. It honestly makes me want to vomit.

This whole release is fine and good, but I kind of have issues with it on both sides. First off, for a "global" event (RSD), 2500 copies is nowhere near enough. This is just begging for people to buy as many as they can and sell them for a shit load. But the release itself seems to miss the point a bit. Why release a weird format that you (supposedly) need a special mini turntable for? I get it - to make more money. But if the idea is to get people into indie record stores, why not make it more appealing to the average person? I work with someone in his early 70s who was way into soul and funk and all that jazz (no quasi-pun intended) when he was younger. I mentioned in passing one day that I was going to the record store to pick up an album and he was genuinely surprised to know that when people said "record store" they literally meant stores with vinyl records in them. He assumed those were long gone by now. We went down and he found all these old records that he used to have but lost over the years and was so excited to know he could buy Ohio Players "Skin Tight" for $10. In my mind, RSD is about getting people back to shopping for physical music in a physical store run by normal people. I'm making way too much out of this one release, but it just seems like we're edging toward a much more highly commercial, "branded" thing. |
Re: New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg
I don't want to be overly sanctimonious about it, I just get bothered when it's presented as a way to drive traffic into indie record shops but is available 3 weeks prior to people who would prefer to order on line (subsequently making it harder for people who actually want to get it from their local record shop for cheaper to get one).

Re: New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg
The counter point to that is record collecting has evolved to the point that you could go to every single independent record store you have within a 20 mile radius every single day and still come up with less of a haul than you can get online in 15 minutes. The landscape has changed drastically, and just from my perspective whinging about how things are vs how they used to be is cathartic, but not very productive. Embrace the new, or be left behind.
