Re: Is this CD on Amazon an official release??

Link doesn't work for me but very suspect, since Joe himself always says he never had a hit!    big_smile

I haven't ever heard of such a release.  The closest might be the free CD that came with the Feb. 2012 Classic Rock magazine.

At any rate, welcome to the Forum!

Re: Is this CD on Amazon an official release??

I believe this is bootleg - someone on FB bought one and it came from (I believe) an eastern European group, and I think the consensus was it was not "official."  I am actually surprised to see it still there.  I think the person on FB got it from ebay.

This link should work.

Re: Is this CD on Amazon an official release??

That's the one that I bought. I really liked it because all the songs are a little bit "different" and I'm so used to hearing the songs in their correct order.

Re: Is this CD on Amazon an official release??

Curious skamokawa what you mean by that the songs are different.Hope it's not a Joe Bonamassa cover band lol

Your rock candy baby
Your hard sweet and sticky

Re: Is this CD on Amazon an official release??

No cover band! The songs aren't the exact versions we are listening to here. I don't like to see anyone ripping off Joe! Hope he gets "mailbox money" for this.

Don't think this is an official release.
There is a Best of Joe Bonamassa which I believe is a Japanese import.
It is rather expensive though!

UHhmmmm...cough!  Look for the copyright symbols and statement, the publishing, credits, liner notes of distinction and merit, LEGITIMATE (licensed) LABEL.  No mailbox money is as sure as I'm sitting here without at least a hint of these...

No excuses, DO NOT SELL, let alone buy.  Anyone who receives unwittingly (yes it can happen yikes and it can "happen" roll) should advertise it is wrong, but go ahead and make a copy for the spouse and the safe deposit box-no more! It should NEVER become a trade item.  But others would (will try) to buy.  Trade those "approved bootlegs" [i.e., artist approved] at will however!!!!!!!!!!!!  lol <-that's an "Ahhh," not a laugh!!!  They become priceless when shared in barter ONLY! cool

No way you shudda, man! yikes.  Glad you spoke up. smile You did the right thing.  (C'mon, ya gave a guitar for goodness sake).  Not judging you or any receiver if illegal.  big_smile No no no, not at ALL. My words are just the cautious and protective kind, meant to be kind and good advice.  It is not that hard to share something.  It is not that hard to share something.  But, I want to know if it is official release.  I want to buy all of those.  I will spring for approved Japanese versions one day.  That is/are my only points and opinions.

If laws have changed, someone please enlighten me.  It goes back to put the money in Joe's pocket.  I went out and spent $87.00 on Official J& R Joe Bonamassa product yesterday.  It's new and I am gonna savor...like I want to with all my Joe listens with a clear conscience.   Just me. smile

Any word on known OR unknown Joe music releases, why not post it here?  Still the best place for IT.  IT will get sorted.  wink
Maybe I am alone and archaic, I want to know, just like what I am eating... wink Personal.

Rocket archaic ? Never!

Re: Is this CD on Amazon an official release??

No worries Rocket! I was just kidding anyway!! That is my "keep in the car" CD. I just checked the CD's fine print. Can't read it, might be Russian. I think my copy might have come from England, bought off eBay.

Now that you mention Cyrillic, this brings up a memory a while back of a bootleg dvd of Joe's show in Cazlora, Spain that had a similar origin.

Free download from Vienna! http://mbsy.co/bNLR

Re: Is this CD on Amazon an official release??

This was discussed last year and Joe actually posted that it must be a bootleg as he hasn't had any hits!!

It's from Estonia. I have a similar Tom Petty release.

Re: Is this CD on Amazon an official release??

Bought it off eBay for my collection. Seem to recall it was shipped by a seller in Norway, although eBay tried pulling the plug on the sale due to copyright issues

Re: Is this CD on Amazon an official release??

Everybody should be giving any vendor a full on frontal shitstorm for selling this!! If you purchase pirated material your helping to potentiate this fraud! STOP!!!!
