<Bootleg: The Secret History of the Other Recording Industry by Clinton Heylin. Some great history and detail on the subject.>

Yes, I bought this when it first came out. I swear by it and recommend it to anyone who is curious about bootlegs or collects them, not to metion the laws and the nuances among bootlegs, pirates and counterfeits. I know some of the people that are mentioned in there. I use to buy my 'gems' from these guys back in my days of record conventions in L.A.

<ICE Magazine  Detail on all aspects of domestic and imported releases>

Yes, this is a great source for information on new releases in the underground market. As a matter of fact, I know the guy that runs that column and let me tell you, his collection of bootlegs must be the biggest in the world. He has stuff lying around and still unopened. I guess he gets a lot of mail sent to him from bootleg manufacturers.
I have yet to get the Pink Floyd demos from the Wall...I hear those are amazing. He has a copy waiting for me.
Also, he has another side hobby, recording live shows from local venues, straight from the board. Now that I know the Church are playing at a certain venue here, I'm gonna ask him if he can record that show for me, which I think he might enjoy.
