Over the years, I have collected quite a lot of original silver pressed bootlegs. Unlike bootlegs on CD-R of DVD+/-R, this are factory pressed silver CD's or DVD's and come with artwork like front and back covers. Click here to see an example of an original silver pressed bootleg CD. Some original bootlegs even have a booklet which can contain extra information such as photos, tourdates, concert review, etc. I bought a large part of my collection silver pressed bootlegs in 1991-1992 when Dire Straits was very populair during the On every street world tour. That was also a period in which lots of bootlegs (mostly Italian) were released. Most of these bootlegs were pretty expensive and are nowadays hard to find on record fairs or on the internet. I have always been fascinated by these original bootlegs, some of them look really nice and it is fun to collect them. Most of the original bootlegs I have can be found in the listings of the bootleg-menu, except for bootlegs which contain officially released material. Fun to collect, but no material that I trade. In the summary below, I listed all silver pressed bootlegs from my private collection and scanned the front covers and back covers so you can see what they look like. I also made CD-scans of all the silver pressed CD-bootlegs. 

Note: these original silver pressed bootlegs are part of my private collection and are NOT for sale.
