practicing troublemaker
I did some searching to see if this had been discussed already, but couldn't find anything. Sorry if I missed something. But, well... I picked up the 'Revelation' bootleg LP while in the States recently (just posted a FLAC rip of it in the bootlegs-section, for those that might be interested), and I noticed that the back cover has a contact address for the label that released it... Now I'm guessing this is a fake address, as it's 4 Reardon Street E5 4EP, which as far as I can tell doesn't exist (E5 4EP isn't even a valid post code, I think?), and Reardon St has some significance to Morrissey. However the serial/catalog # on the matrix is also intact... I'm not all that knowledgeable on the matter of bootlegs, but I know that it used to be common practice to scratch the matrix # out before shipping off the records, as these provided a means to trace who made them through the pressing plant. Maybe I'm wrong?
Anyway, I guess what I'm wondering is, could this be a (semi-)authorized release? Obviously whoever put it out must be fairly close to Morrissey, or at least know someone who is.
