Yeah I think they're illegally bootlegged by someone in the US. There was another thread on it I forget what the thread was called. =(

TL:DR Yes, it is a bootleg 'sponsored' by Piccadilly Records, Rephlex knows about it but they are not behind this - they are limited to 1000 copies and have the Aphex Twin logo [sic] on the sleeve. The source material is almost certinly the vinyl rip from the Kickstarter - so not ideal to press on vinyl...

My advice: don't buy - don't give money to these valschmunters for a substandard pressing!

My word for today: valschmunters

so disappointed in them doing that, but I guess they know folks will lap it up regardless

wonder if they did the death grips boot of ex military that's going around now

ha There it is right in the ebay store!

these guys are real robin hood esque pieces of shit huh?

weren't they behind that afx 2004 (ish) promo 12" that wasn't even afx?

i only have 2 bootlegs and thats the boards of Canada mask 12" and now this one.

it turned up today and sounds ok.

Any information on it as to who is pressing this?

i got it from eBay. £24 with postage.

it comes on 2 nice clear 12' with black sleeve with an aphex logo in the corner.

it was cat 23 in the run out grove.

have to say they don't don't sound all that, not weight in the sound if you know what i mean.

but i guess they are a rip from mp3.

but for the price i like it and they go nice with my record collection.

thats all i know about them.

I thought Picadilly was cool but fuck this.

£15,000 profit for someone else work...

Are you saying it was a government conspiracy?

Does the beginning of 101 Rainbows Ambient Mix sound noisy or dirty like the Kickstarter files? (Probably the track Grant played the most.) Then that's the sound source.

15 grand? No way.

Some of you must've seen this by now, right? http://www.discogs.com/sell/release/482493

I sent the guy a message asking if it's legit or if he didn't know about the bootleg but he hasn't answered yet...

I wouldn't trust it...

Update: he responded to me a couple of days ago saying he got the record from his cousin who used to be a DJ in Germany in the 90's

who got it from AWeX (http://www.discogs.com/artist/1627-AWeX)

The seller said he couldn't provide images but he could lower the price to 1700€ if i paid him outside discogs...

Question is, would a seller scam someone when he has over 1300 feedbacks? What would happen afterwards?

Not saying anything about this guy personally (since I don't know him), but for the right amount of money, anyone is capable of doing things that contradict their character.

Not being able to have a picture taken in 2015 for something this valuable and dubious now that the bootleg is around?

In any case I would remain very sceptical, even with all that feedback. Maybe you could try and send an email to those AWeX guys to get some confirmation?

There's simply too many folks claiming to have this... I can't see something that was this rare not leaking sooner if this many people supposedly had copies of the test pressing...
