    I have the CD originals with the fluorescent green and orange covers. I recall the first day these came out. It was at the Pasadena City College Swap Meet and huge a crowd of collectors just picking these up left and right. $100 bucks each!! I couldn't afford it so I bought the knock version months later, BackTrack. $25.
    Ultra Rare even made it to big name record stores in Hollywood in the Import section. Fun times.

    Not sure where they made those but someone told me the Netherlands. BackTrack and subsequent boots were pressed in Korea for the first couple of years before the raids.

    Ahh the good ole days of bootlegs.
    Yep, CD's
    The same issues you have.
    My little hole in the wall record store sold them for $15.00 apiece (back then) so I grabbed both.

      Very nice score, Mikey. And great deal!
      Of course the quality of those boots pale in comparison to the new remasters.

        Great harmonies, like the Bee Gees when performing live, or Beach Boys. Gotta dig bands with vocal talent. Wish I could say the same for The Beatles. Live, they were pretty subpar with harmonies, well in the mid to later days of touring. The early days like Hamburg and Cavern Club, they excelled at their vocal talent from months of playing almost every night.
        To be fair, during those later days of touring (1964-1966) they really couldn't hear themselves onstage. Sub-par sound systems really hurt their performances, and even so I think they still managed to do a good job! I've struggled to hear myself playing in a club with 100 people and poor monitors, much less the idea of trying to hear yourself over the din of tens of thousands of screaming girls whilst standing on a stage in the middle of a baseball stadium

          Yup, I was watching disc 5 of Anthology and Ringo was the only one who saw how downhill the band was going in regards to performing live. He was the one that wanted to be in a band of professionals and being such a perfectionist that he would point these things out the rest of the band.
          Hence why I like watching the early performances but painful to see the last public performance on the rooftop even though Get Back and LIB....Naked are on my top 3 favorite Beatles album.
