bootleg
noun- a pirated and illegally marketed recording UK, 1951
In the 1960s and 70s only dedicated music fans were really aware of such product. The bootlegs of Bob Dylan’s music easily outnumbered his official releases so, in 1991, his record company began to release “The Bootleg Series”. As ever, other artists followed where Dylan led. Alas many use it as an excuse to release material that may otherwise not be of sufficient quality. “Bootleg” has always implied a lesser quality of recording, now it’s official. - illegally manufactured alcohol US, 1898
