[GnRz]

Hey every one I posted this way back a few years ago and was trying to research it, If they ever made a like like a suicde Promo 3 inch red cd?
 I see them on ebay ever once in a while


The GnR bar / and Breakdown has it posted as a BOOTLEG, is this fact?

all LLAS silver CDs are sourced from the official LIES cd. they just ripped the "live" songs and pressed some silver cds from to make it look offical so they can  make $$$$.
best quality source from the LLAS tracks is to get the official MFSL Lies CD.

[GnRz]

So these suposedly PROMO small 3 INCH RED CD's Are some kind of BOOTLEG?

They say promo from uzi suicide record company?

and they are small 3 inches in size like a japan single

[Pandora]

It IS a bootleg.

[GnRz]

Then GnR fans are really get ripped off on ebey 

How do you know for certain ?
I mean what is your source to make that statement 
just curious    

[KeVoRkIaN]

Well - I don't think the CD was a technology in 1986 for starters

My source is 10 years + of collecting GN'R. And yes lots of people get ripped off on ebay.
Someone could put the fuckin' moon up for auction and there would always be a moron who would bid on it 

[GnRz]

Well I've been collecting for about 14+ years

and I just recently got the internet 8 years ago ,? thats when I heard of most of the cool collectables out there . and then came accoss the Red disc.

I thought what the hell, I know from experience that they said LLAS sold so many thousands of copies with no advertising what so ever.
And obviously a PROMO would be a form of advertising. So thats what I thought it had to be a fake in adition to the discographies I've found on line,

Hmmm I wonder if the LLAS promo Posters are also Bootlegs?

[COLDHEARTBREAKER]

Well - I don't think the CD was a technology in 1986 for starters

i got a cd in 1985

[Arkan]

Hmmm I wonder if the LLAS promo Posters are also Bootlegs?

So do I. I bought a LLAS poster two weeks ago. Allthough, even if it's a bootleg it's a cool poster.

[GnRz]

Hmmmmm I wounder if there is anyone from the uzi suicide Record Co. out there that could give us some info on this topic

[jellyhead]

LLAS was originally only released on vinyl, limited to 10,000 copies.  LLAS was never released on CD so definately these CD's that turn up on Ebay are just good quality silver printed CD bootlegs.  Don't buy 'em, they ain't worth anything.

[GnRz]

Hey does Alan Niven Post on there threads ?


He could tell us for sure

[Scree]

It's been mentioned by official sources before there was no CD pressings of LLAS. There was a vinyl release (and I think cassette) but definitly no CD.

[GnRz]

Ok I stand corrected,  thanks

one thiing I do wonder is if there was a limited pressing of about 10,000,  and there were tapes and LP's  pressed,  how many were tapes and how many were LP's?

ANY IDEA?

[Scree]

Honestly I wondered that myself, but I still think the 10,000 was vinyl. Cassettes were/are far easier and cheaper to put out than factory pressed discs. Curious point though, I have seen far less cassette versions pop up than vinyl.

[GnRz]

Yeh I got a cassette from a fan that new someone close to gnr back in the day.

so I am pretty confident it's authentic, and you are right, there are much much less cassettes that pop up for sale than vinyl, I would really like to know the statistics of the quantity of cassetts because everything I've seen just says that live like a suicide was limited to around 10,000 copies with no advertising . and I can't find any other info than that as far as quantity.
