Foo Fighters - Medium Rare flac mp3 download

So I picked this up yesterday not realizing it's not an official copy. IMO it's still of good quality (I don't have our have have not heard an official one). Sound quality is decent with the exception of Darling Nikki which was likely sourced from an MP3. No pops or cracks. It is not warped. It may not be legit, but my copy at least was well made.

I wonder, that this version is a really good counterfeit with really sharp glossy sleeve and inner sleeve with RCA brand and then, they made a different label on the record. If I would make counterfeits, I would try copy also the labels as original. That's the reason I asked, why should that be a unofficial version.

I also have such a copy, but I think, the outer and inner sleeve is very professional. Outer sleeve is glossy and sharp, also the inner sleeve is sharp. It is delivered in an extra white inner sleeve (to avoid eam split on the printed one), also really professionalI. It is really clear, that this is an unofficial version?

My copy was also in the white inner sleeve. The printed sleeve is also there. With nothing etched in the runout and no record company marking on the label leads me to believe it's not official. It's well done and next to impossible to know if it's still sealed as mine was.

it's also between pinkish and brown. I think that is nothing special. I wonder about, that your verion is not etched. Do you also a separate white inner sleeve?

I think the colour of the label is ok, like the picture, but my version has the the etched number on the runout. Is your version also in a separate white inner sleeve?

I just picked up a copy yesterday. It appears to be this version. My copy does not have anything etched in the runout. The label print is also more of a pinkish brown color as opposed to red. Is your copy that way?

So yeah this counterfeit had me fooled. Its quite good. I think they used the CD as master and the reason Darling nikki sounds shitty is because it wasnt on the cd release, they probably used a mp3 or something.

I bought a copy of this a while back to do a review of the quality and it finally arrived today. I don't own an original copy (which is part of why I bought this version) so unfortunately I am unable to do a direct comparison. Overall, it's pretty good for a bootleg. There's sometimes a notable lack of clarity during loud parts of songs where there's a lot going on and the sound quality noticeably degrades as the sides go on, but those things are typically to be expected from unofficial releases. The only thing really poor about it is the packaging-- the outer sleeve, inner sleeve, and record itself are the flimsiest I have ever seen. Overall, while the sound quality is passable, I wish I put the $30 I spent on it towards an original copy instead.

Has anyone played a copy of the unofficial vinyl? I just want it to play not collect so does it sound the same as the RSD original but the quality of the packaging isn't as good or what's the deal? Many thanks

Its obvious they used the cd as master. Darling Nikki wasn't on it so probably they used a mp3 as master for this song.

packaging is pretty swell. sound quality is also pretty darn good, the only problem I encountered was that Darling Nikki had to be turned up quite a bit in comparison to the rest of the record.

Could somebody please add good pictures of this version and how can it be recognized from the original, when not in hand? Is it really just the minor matrix variation? That makes it hard when it's being sold sealed... :-/

The cover is very glossy. And the steak on the cover has a lot brighter red in it.
