#NowPlaying - decent audience-recorded #bootleg of the flo & eddie era mothers' hometown debut at santa monica civic, august 1970, misdated as el monte '71. totally dig kaylan/volman as front-mothers, increasingly less into the mud shark skit sequence, here in early draft, a premonition of my least favorite #zappa. stunning & fun kornyfone art. @vinylrecords
You ready to hear about some #OPM (other people's music)? I'm going to try something different this week and add all of the music I'm covering in one thread, with the blog containing slightly longer versions of all of these linked at the end. LMK what you think of this format.
A pleasant track that twists up the mellower side of drum and bass with an early ‘10s French reggae hit (Stand High Patrol’s “The Big Tree”). The breaks here are almost decorative rather than propulsive, so it feels aimed more at lounging back with a blunt than frantic dancefloor detonation, but that’s fine by me – I like my drum and bass on the chilled-out side these days.
#NowPlaying - one of the first shows by the classic new riders lineup with buddy cage, a #bootleg (by the white label folks aka berkeley records) from the december 5th, 1971 #radio broadcast from the felt forum in #nyc, opening for the #GratefulDead. good stoner country fun, even if they edited out "dirty business." love the cover caricatures & henry truck in the background. @vinylrecords@Corry342
#NowPlaying - a pretty atrocious audience #bootleg from pasadena, january 1970, super-compressed & tinny & can hear the taper talking in places, & yet palpably way more fun than "the last waltz." @vinylrecords
#NowPlaying - 13th floor elevators #bootleg! the demos side kinda sounds more kickin' than the official studio albums. live side from a '66 broadcast is feral elevatormania, the band presumably tripping (as at every gig), with relentless jugging by tommy hall. a more recent re-boot, "originally" from '88, but the cheap, clammy card stock feels authentically '80s. @vinylrecords
#NowPlaying - #bootleg of kevin ayers's 1970-1972 #bbc sessions, including a few tunes backed by the soft machine. great #prog / #canterbury fun with assertive weirdo hooks, if sometimes (like camelot) a bit silly. his voice shares something direct/plaintive with his soft machine bandmate robert wyatt that resonates with me deeply. @vinylrecords
Hace unas semanas, mi madre iba a tirar la famiclone con la que crecí, pero le dije que noooo, que era parte de mi infancia. Así que me la dio, en caja casi completa y todo. Hoy la he sacado para desmontarla.
Es una famiclone de las primeras, estaba en mi casa antes de que yo naciera, así que tendrá unos 35 años. Puede que se hubiese comprado entre el 86 y el 88 (yo soy del 89). En esa época la NES estaba completamente en venta, así que no hay duda de que esta es una NES bootleg de cabo a rabo.
Que yo sepa aún funciona, pero tendré que buscar un alimentador. Debajo dice que gasta 4W pero no pone el voltaje.
Aunque la caja ponga lo contrario, nunca se ha usado el slot de cartuchos porque los 120 y algo juegos los lleva internamente. Nunca trajo cartucho.
Se usó frecuentemente hasta probablemente 1999, cuando me regalaron la GBC para Reyes.
Curioso que los chips sean de Goldstar y las CPUs sean clones del 6502 y el 6507, concretamente UMC UA6538 y UMC UA6527P.
Si encuentro un alimentador la enchufaré. Por suerte no tiene ningún condensador jodido.
EDIT: Según la placa base, está fabricada en abril de 1992. Puede que mi memoria falle un poco, entonces.
EDIT 2: Con el alimentador de la Megadrive y un cable RCA que tenía por ahí tirao he conseguido que funcione. Eso sí, los colores de puta pena. En fin, es lo que hay.

Guh...this Facebook Ad just SCREAMS #Bootleg doesn't it? Cute vampire girl? She has a NAME (Nazuna). Nice figure but gotta be a knockoff at that price.
J'ai sorti ma dernière vidéo sur Pokémon Jaune version NES ! Encore de la belle découverte, on explore le Sainte Anne (Anne, elle est nulle) et c'est littéralement entrer dans un univers parallèle. Mais moins bien. https://youtu.be/8IE830ekPRs?si=TgQ1TyASKzvkNg8G
#NowPlaying - starting to understand the whole "back to mono" thing. these 1948/1949 charlie parker radio recordings by boris rose (plus a few audience tapes) feel so much more present/vivid on this suitcase turntable than they do on my stereo. perhaps psychosomatic, but sounding incredible on this very rainy sunday. #jazz#bootleg@vinylrecords
@historyofpunkrock Interesting 'white label' semi-bootleg release of Shane MacGowan's pre-#Pogues band The Nips from 1980. Plain white cardboard cover with a stuck-on b&w insert, in typical #bootleg style. Features the legendary 'King of the Bop' on side one - perhaps the first really cracking song that Shane ever wrote. A cross between #punk and #rockabilly.
I bought this in 'Rock On' in London's Camden Town. Three quid and seventy-five pence, at the time. @vinylrecords

'If there is an event more synonymous with the folly of man than the Star Wars Holiday Special then no one has yet discovered it. The two-hour, 1978 TV show, which sent Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford’s Han Solo and Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia to Kashyyyk (the home planet of the Wookiees) for something called “Life Day” is notoriously one of the most execrable pieces of entertainment ever committed to film. It has never been re-broadcast, and George Lucas once said he would have personally destroyed each and every bootleg copy if given the chance.' https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/nov/17/the-1978-star-wars-holiday-special-was-genuinely-dire-how-on-earth-did-it-happen#starwars#bootleg
Dites, quelqu'un saurait où choper la traduction anglaise du #bootleg de #Pokémon jaune #NES ? Le seul lien que je trouve c'est sur Romhacking et impossible de le télécharger, je trouve que la version chinoise et vu que je pane RIEN au mandarin, genre le niveau zéro absolu, je suis pas prêt d'y jouer. Si vous avez des pistes je suis preneur. #romhack
Who's a good shitty #movie expert? in our Discord (https://sirtaptap.com) we're throwing together a list of #Mockbusters/bootleg movies to laugh at. Suggestions welcome!
If you don't know what mockbusters are it's like those no-name-brand Didney movie knockoffs that have the same concept but the name and characters are different they (probably) won't get sued and the budget is like $7
