I've had a look at all three of those. I think they are all legitimately available in high street shops (in the case of the one added by mandi, probably an Italian Walmart). I don't think Rushfan4 and Snobb would have added albums which were not legitimately available.

I think the issue with these more to do with the licencing, they will have been released under some sort of licence not required arrangement. As has been said, there are a lot of that type of release scattered across the site, including the entire "Inside (band name) DVD series, which claims to "require complete artistic independence".
 
Bottom line is that while these releases are dubious, and do not from part of the official discography, I don' t think they are bootlegs in the traditional sense.
 
It's a topic worthy of discussion of course, but I personally think in these cases, there is enough legitimacy to their distribution to allow them to stay.

A few suspicious Yes releases too, this one being the most obvious.

Very true. That is why I started with Led Zeppelin, which are an easy case as their official discography is limited and very well known.

I have bought the occasional bootleg many years ago.  I can't think of any that were really worth having.  Terminate them from this site with extreme prejudice!!!!
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Indeed, if we start adding Led Zep bootlegs, we'll need a bigger web site.

As we find bootlegs added to the database on a regular basis, I thought it would be good to have one dedicated thread to report them. Here's some Zeppelin bootlegs for starters:
