I took "bona fide" to mean genuine
And in that connection--as I said---bootlegs are certainly not
Legalities have nothing to do with this IMO. It's a record, it plays

figments of your imagination, or are they real records
I have hundreds of boots in my collection.They are all real boots
My response to Mark was concerning the legal position of bootleg records
You seem to have translated that legal position into my own personal
opinion of bootleg records which is quite amusing--as I said I suppose I
still have hundreds of boot 45's in my collection but the really
hilarious aspect of this is how you arrived at your projection knowing
my involvement in Moondog's Records,
my association with guys like Mike Rascio and the Marianos....do I
really need to go on?
So is "Kansas City" by Wilbert Harrison a bona fide release?
It was deemed to be an illegal release by the US courts and Robinson had >>> to pay Herman a hefty sum. So it's no different than a bootleg, and
therefore not a genuine release in your eyes, right?
I don't know the intricacies of the Harrison case but if the courts
there say its illegal then its illegal.
There I go speaking legally again!!! :)
But don't hold your breath waiting for me to throw my Top Rank copy (I
guess that's illegal too?) away any time soon
I guess you are just a record collector first. Otherwise you would have
sold them all, and made a lot of money.
I did sell a lot via eBay over the past few years. And I did make a lot
of money
Because only record collectors would take the stance that you have taken
here, or even care about
whether a release was bona fide or not. Non collectors like me and
pretty much everyone else in this group only care about the actual music
made by the artists, not about the physical records issued by the label owners.
I appreciate you're trying to play some kind of silly "I'm superior to
you" card but I would remind you of my remarks above and leave others
here to judge whether I was speaking personally or legally--or a bit of
both :)
I was never that serious of a record collector other than with Fats
Domino, where I had every 45 and album except for some real early
Imperial 45s, and I had most of those on 78s. Otherwise I just wanted
the best sounding copies of the music, which is why I had a lot of
reissue albums. Most of the time things sounded better on those than on original 45s. Once Diane exposed me to MP3s, I was free to start selling
the records and I did. I still have several hundred things hanging on my walls for decoration, but I haven't cared about owning an actual record
for over 20 years now. Give me a real clean sounding MP3 any day over
some noisy record.
Yes mp3s revolutionised everything,they were a boon and a blessing.
And I don't remember the last time I added anything to my record shelves
It's been a while
