Not the best press, but the word BOOTLEG says it all.

I just picked this up and both records are a muted pink marble. It sounds good.

My copy sounds great and plays a-ok. I did clean it on a VPI before playing however. Quality Control is obviously not a realistic expectation with a bootleg product..

Lacquer Cut by Porky? Not sure about that, unless the bootleggers somehow got their hands in the original master cut.

My copy sounded alright at first but I think that might've been 'first listen bias', because on re-listen the pressing sounds horrific. Skips quite a couple of times on Flutey even after being cleaned and overall sounds very fuzzy and mediocre. Might be worth looking elsewhere if you want this album, cos it's got some terrific tunes on it. Mumbly and Revpok are particular highlights.

Suffers from the same pressing fault on Side C as the marbled version.

Really let's itself down with the quality of the pressing on Side C. Such a pity..Edit; thought maybe I'd just been unlucky and got a bad copy so I went and bought a different version (pink/orange) which although not as profound, suffers from an identical pressing fault which runs from the edge till almost the center of Side C.

Agree on your assessment. I have the FLAC files from the original kickstarter and got this as I thought it'd be nice to have it on vinyl. Think I'll just stick to timecode and FLAC from serato, as some of the tracks do not sound great. Worth having, but don't expect a perfect sound.

What is this? is this a fake post?I'm confused by this.

good pressing here too. price totaly fair, got mine for almost 15€. both vinyls clear

Official????Cannot be true! Another fake repress? Confirm, owners. Please? please!

Way to push illegal distribution by not making this broadly available on various formats.

Stomper, Mumbly, Fingertrips, Revpok, Squidge In The Fridge are instant classics, the rest is very good too.

A lot of the tracks RDJ has been releasing on his soundcloud are from tape. A lot of his music is lo-fi anyway so don't be bothered by these people talking about the bad quality of the vinyl just because it's a bootleg.

Although the release of this record was underwhelming to some, you can't deny there are some bangers and gems on this LP. Stomper has a very nice catchy timbre to it and some excellent SH-101 noodling only a guy like Richard could pull off. Mumbly might not be up there with tracks like Tha, But it is real nice throwback to his SAW era and is really fun to listen to. Squidge In The Fridge is an instant 90's Techno classic and can easily be enjoyed by non-Aphex fans. Fingry is darker but still a very nice track, Revpok is dark as well but more experimental. Excellent track, really.

Regardless of being a bootleg, it's actually a pretty decent release. The pressing is ok, of course the bass is a bit flat since it's pressed from mp3s. But even the mp3s weren't the best quality you would expect today since they were ripped from a 15 odd years old vinyl record. So the small crackling sounds are actually on the mp3s as well. Apart from that I think it's still great to get those titles in vinyl (for less then $ 43,500). And the makers of this bootleg could have gone for a much higher retailer price - which they didn't. I got my copy for 15 € which is actually pretty cheap for a limited clear vinyl release of those lost gems. So now, go get it.

No, they could not have gone much higher, because the market value of a limited bootleg which get's repressed (again limited of course) as soon it's sold out is closely related to a lot of big nothing, generously speaking. First limited clear, than limited pink, heck, in a few years we can all join and make a rainbow with our copies. Limited my shiny metal ass.An official vinyl rainbow made of the complete Mr. D. James on the other hand, it wouldn't even need colored vinyl to shine like a rainbow... Rephlex? ...Warp? Nevermind

I doubt they would have mastered from mp3s. The music was also made available in lossless formats for the kickstarter backers. Surely they would have mastered from one of those?

I was told when purchasing this that it was produced from the vinyl test-pressing bought by Markus Persson in the infamous ebay auction. Regardless of what difference that makes to the value of this record, how –if at all– can we determine its true origin? Some of the commenters on this item seem pretty sure of where it's coming from; got anything to back up those claims?

It was confirmed by Grant from Rephlex that the mp3s this record is based on are the original Caustic Window LP. Check the web for the entire Kickstarter campaign that made this music available to the public. Furthermore, I just bought the bootleg and it's the exact same music I got from the Kickstarter campaign which I supported.

or a flac. not sure what came first.. was their a flac of this kicking around before the dude bought it?

Have a look who first submitted it and their other submissions and check the common sellers of all of those.

Guess what? It sounds good enough to me. Pity it's a bootleg.

Why bother?It's not like it's been bootlegged from the tapes. The download was just CD quality, it'll only sound worse on vinyl.
