Asia 2001 ... Bootlegs?


bADASSwhale

Recommended Posts

If you have EAC (with proper configuration) and some Asia 2001 CDs, please rip it (a couple of the separate tracks or CD image) just to get the CRCs from it. You should probably include the top of the log file so we know the settings are right.... It would be interesting to see if they match. I think it's the last thing a bootlegger would worry about faking, and then it wouldn't really matter any more. Recently my friend got Asia 2001 - Live CD and his CRC values were different from mine. (I don't completely trust his values though.) If you do this, please also say if you got your CD recently or had it for a long time.

 

Here is some of my results.

Goa-Head: please report to me instead of replying in threads. No wse can't he's using proxies.

 

 

bwhale: consider this page showing that 2 versions of Live exist (sure of it, I have the official, Anoebis has the promo) http://www.discogs.com/Asia-2001-Live/master/89566

Honnestly, I don't think there were many bootlegs of psytrance cds. Ok a few in the past years in Russia (3DVision cds were bootlegged there) or the balkans, but that's really marginal.

 

I think you can have a different TOC even if you repress a given CD without reusing the original glassmaster, or press in 2 different factories (because for example you distribute from 2 countries at the same time, like France via Transpact and Israel via Phonokol, and it's cheaper like that). I'm not expert in these things but that's likely to have happened then.

I think he's too way much obsessed with EAC. It's not the first time he asked such questions (also on discogs) Before the millennium they produced thousand's of copies for all releases, not like today. So as Mars said before these slight EAC variations are just manufacturing differences from one batch/pressing plant to another.

Well technically the Asia 2001 "promo" versions are the exact same as the originals, only they have slightly different artwork. But I don't have EAC or want to get it so I can't help here.

 

 

Not completely true. Listen to asia 2001 - live ( 2 two last tracks of the promo version are not mastered and ofcourse they sound like crap on the promo).
