Slowdive - Souvlaki [12", LP, Unofficial]
This album i've been looking for on vinyl for quite a while. Not so much specifically this bootleg version, but the SOUVLAKI album at itself. So when i found this one in an online webstore in the States i just had to buy it. That was a few months before Music On Vinyl would release their (official) reissue.
It's pretty obvious that this is a bootleg release. First of all, it has more tracks than the original release has: 15 tracks in total, spread over 4 sides (instead of 10 spread over 2 sides):
The bonus tracks are sourced from B-sides from singles.
Also the insert is rather ugly compared to the one in the Music On Vinyl edition. I have no idea if the original on Creation had an insert by the way, but i assume Music On Vinyl copied their version straight from the original.
But the stupidest thing is that they reproduced the correspondence address for SLOWDIVE while that band does not exist anymore for many years:
Also, just like the Blue Day bootleg, this version has Japanese text written on the back. Probably to make it look extra interesting.
Ah well, it's a funny release to have, to spice up the collection a bit. But the sound quality is way inferior to the Music On Vinyl release.
