I've got an album I can't seem to find any info on the web. Wondering if it's a fake? It's a live album recorded in Australia. It looks pretty polished to be a bootleg, but what the hell do I know?
It's titled "Sunset Strip" and was created on Red Devil Records.
Tracks are:
Mudride
Here Comes Sickness
Noone Has
Sweet Young Thing, inc.
Sweet No More
Need
Chain that Door
If I think
Touch me I'm Sick
In and out of Grace
Halloween X
Interested in any information anyone has on it, if it's a good live album, etc. (I've never opened it since I purchased it in 1994).

Hello there Arbysauce  You have in your hand a bootleg. I have a bunch of CD and vinyl Mudhoney boots - Mudhoney have released or sanctioned the release of the BBC Peel Sesions that has a live set on it - plus the Superfuzz BigMuff re-issue has some live tracks/set from Berlin and California. There was an 'official' promo that Reprise put out - simple sticker artwork - back in 1994 (I think) and of course the recent live vinyl (MP3) release that they did late last year. Other than that if you have a Mudhoney live CD or vinyl - it's a boot  |

Thanks for the feedback. A bootleg.... now I truly feel part of the music underworld.
When I bought the disc I knew there was something off about it; all wrapped up like some FBI evidence. Cost $20 some 15 years ago.
Interesting thought: Because it's a bootleg, is there anything wrong with file sharing those tracks? Don't get me wrong, I buy my music. But in this case the music was stolen to begin with. Maybe I should just turn it in to my local Sub Pop outpost.

Ha ha ha - yes you are required by law to surrender on demand. Someone from Sub Pop will be around to see you later. I read somewhere that the band aren't overly concerned by bootlegs as long as someone sends them one of everything that is produced - but that no one ever does. I don't think there's much of a market these days for boots - they're a dying 'art' - the internet and file sharing has destroyed it (as much as it's destroying officially released sanctioned music) - no one will sell them and it's expensive to make CDs anyway. More of a labour of love now. Their prices hold (the old ones) as they are limited eidtions by their very nature and cuiros to 'hardcore' fans these days (funny art and all that)... If you really want to hear them - they're out their in digital land somewhere. As for you file sharing it - I've no idea how one does that - but generally I always think every time someone file shares someone elses music somewhere a kitten dies.... but thats just me. I hate the internet |

yeah internet kills the bootlegers
and soon it kills rec labels and artists.
smallstone is right, yr live rec is boot.
he also list the all the official live stuff
so all others are bootlegs for sure.
there were many cool mudhoney boot in the midle
of 90's. sunset strip is one of them.
if you share it i think it's okey.
it's live stuff not official in any ways
and members of mudhoney do not care.
it's great stuff to trade or something...
nice mudhoney item thou.
cheers
