There are different types of bootleg lp's.  Certainly any unauthorized copy of a
once commercially available lp, even one that is very rare, is something I would
not want to have, nor would almost any true collector.  However, there are other
recordings, that are still called "bootleg", that are of music that has never
been offered commercially.  Some of these, depending on the artist and the time
frame in their career, can be very collectable and quite expensive.  When this
is the only way to possess this music or even this particular *version* of this
music, then I will not turn my back on it, just because it is a bootleg.
However, I have never purchased a bootleg copy of anything, when it is a recent
performance.  I only will look for and buy bootlegs that are from artists from
very early in their careers.

Vinyl Regards,
