New Sabotage Vinyl Bootleg

I dunno about lazy, but it has the original (Pre Zdar) 2009 mixes of Lee Majors Come Again by DJ Shadow, and Here's a Little Something For Ya by Cut Chemist that were used for the DJ Hero video game. It is the only official vinyl you can get the Cut Chemist remix on. The DJ Shadow remix was released on this one first, and then as part of a vinyl that DJ Shadow self released with bundles for the DJ Hero Game. Then some fine unknown gentleman of unknown origin put all of the tracks available on this and this with the less lazy vinyl labels but definitely bootlegs for all to enjoy.

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.

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.

That's a good point. Although I don't collect them, I've been really tempted by the Paul's Boutique 7" box set and other bootlegs that took some time and effort and seem more like homages to the group.

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.
