Hi guys I know its been mentioned before but have had issues with a few titles recently that are pirates (all bought off ebay or similar or in one case Amazon marketplace) They seem cheap at £6.99 and are often described as "nearly new" but in fact are new and pirates. They are reasonably well done so wouldnt necessarily alert immediate suspicion . They appear to be a UK or German ebayer but are postmarked from Russia when they arrive in most instances. It does the label down (and we would like to keep going) and also artists as no publishing or royalties are paid on these and most of these artists are not well off guys. Please buy off the reputable guys whom we know we supply such as Lasers Edge, Wayside, Kinesis, Amazon (not marketplace), Play HMV.com, CD services or indeed our website. Thanks Vicky Powell Esoteric |

I'm pretty sure the Wakeman 1984 I ordered a few years ago was a bootleg. The CD arrived way too late, but the package did have some cool stamps on it and was wrapped in used typing paper with Cyrillic typing. Beyond that, one of the least impressive Wakeman's I have in my collection.  My latest Russian addition was The Gourishankar, which came from Unicorn.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
