REM - Who Gone Get Control [Bootleg?]

[DJxREMARKABLE]

i've been seeing a lot of REM cd's popping up from overseas lately. Most of them still sealed or "recently unsealed". this dude has one on ebay right now...

anybody here in the US have an OG copy they can post up so we can see the differences?

I don't remember the album title being pressed onto the ring code..but back then I didn't really pay attention to ring codes since the bootleggin' wasn't that much of a topic..
maybe mr. sippy can bring some knowledge to it?

 

[DJxREMARKABLE]

there are some cd's with album titles in the ring code but just looking at the ring code shown on that cd looks real fishy to me for some reason

its the og copy from REM himself.same copy that been sold by t-lux 4-6 years ago same copy that been sold few days ago.never been repressed.

 

[DJxREMARKABLE]

thanks for the info InDo. by any chance you know why there are a ton of copies overseas though? there seems to be a lot of people in other countries who have these Sealed while there are none here in the Bay Area.

 

[InDO]

yes the reason is that REM still had about a good thirty copies left.he sold them to three persons.most re sold already i guess.
