I just bought a new album by Foetus (under the name Foetus Corruptus) called
RIFE.  It's a double live album, and I'm wondering if it's a legitimate
release or a bootleg.  The sound quality is good, but it's packaged in a
plain black single-pocket cover, with nothing but a black and white sticker of
the CD booklet cover design from THAW, with "Interruptus" changed to
"Corruptus" and "THAW" changed to "RIFE."  The sticker also lists the names
Clint Ruin, Algis Kizys, Norman Westberg, Ted Parsons, and Ray Scaballero.

The record labels are black, with nothing but a single large white numeral on
each, indicating the side.  The album came with a paper insert that has a copy
of the sticker and the following track list:

     1.   Fin
          Don't Hide It
          Honey I'm Home
          Dipsomaniac Kiss

     2.   English Faggot
          Grab Yo Ankles
          Slut
          Prayer For My Death

     3.   Ichingarda!
          The Faith Healer
          The Fudge Punch

     4.   Clothes Hoist
          Anything (Viva)


Nowhere on the packaging or records is there any indication of the name of
the record company or a catalog number.  Even the mastering marks scratched
in the vinyl only say "RIFLE-1-X-1" (where X = A, B, C, or D, indicating
the side).

Does anyone know when and where this was recorded, and whether it's a bootleg
or a legitimate release?
