They most definately ARE bootlegs. No bootleg does have written "I'm a bootleg"
on it, they want to seem legitimate, and the 2 CDs you just found have succeeded
with this quite often now. They look too darn official on the first glance,
but they aren't. No 'EMI', 'Columbia', 'Novercia', ... on it anywhere. Extremely
thin booklets (without being made in the US). Not crisp-quality pictures in the
booklets, and the pics have been used on other bootlegs too. No official
announcement of them anywhere. 'Gema' on it, but not 'made in Germany' which
official 'Gema' marked disks have all the time (but also some boots).

This isn't to put down anyone who mistook the two CDs for official stuff, it's
just a little help on how to tell whether some CD is a bootleg or not.

Bye,

Uli
