It’s usually inferior sound, like somebody took a CD, ripped that and got it pressed on vinyl,” Kyle Sigerist, owner of the record store Lost Weekend Records in Columbus, Ohio, said. “When they make these pirated copies, it’s really bad across the board. These records ranged from private studio sessions to illegal tapings of live performances. Before Rerun’s fumble while illegally recording a Doobie Brothers concert on What’s Happening!!, bootleg vinyls were a rampant trend during the 1960s. A recurring precedence in hip-hop, bootleg vinyl generally arises from fandom and the inability to differentiate whether a record is real or false. So much so that Discogs, the world's biggest online vinyl marketplace, recently clamped down on the sale of bootlegs. (That vinyl still hasn't been released.)Įven in the age of streaming, vinyl purchases are at a steady incline - and bootleg vinyl continues to be a part of that.
Made all the more apparent by the lackluster sound quality and omission of additional material Tyler himself said would be on official vinyl for the album back in 2016. As enticing as that "limited edition" marker is on its back cover - or the seller including the word "rare" in its description - might seem, it's a bootleg vinyl. But this rare find isn't as genuine as displayed. It can also be found at an upwards of $99.99 on eBay. If you visit your local mom and pop record store, you may stumble upon vinyl of Tyler, the Creator's third album, Cherry Bomb. And bootleg vinyl - which could be found all over eBay - are a big part of that equation. Even in the age of streaming, vinyl purchases are at a steady incline.
