Question : the studio early demos

[bethf1980]

I have a Wildhearts CD called "the studio early demos" with lots of the Earth Vs tracks on it. It has printed text on the CD (compact disc digital audio, and the promotion only and all the rights reserved blurb, and an image of a pig with trade mark of quality printed around it)

I cannot find ANYTHING at all on this online, despite lots of looking in the last week or so. Is this a real release or is it one of the made up CDs I've picked up along the years from someone and it's just been made to look official?

If anyone can let me know that would be great.

Well it sound to me like a Porky Prime Cut bootleg. Porky Prime Cut used to release bootlegs of (usually) pretty good quality from everyone you could think of.

One thing is certain, it IS a bootleg, wanna trade?

I think it's a boot on the Swingin' Pig label.

'Porky Prime Cut' is the calling card (left in the run-out grooves of many official vinyl records) of a certain cutting engineer. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Peckham

Swingin' Pig is a bootleg label whose artwork often features a pig logo with the words "A trade mark of quality". Here's an example of a Doors CD: http://www.sixtiescollection.com/silver ... mdiscs.jpg

Thanks to you both. At the very least I'm at least on the right track now. It's the only CD in my collection I couldn't recognise as a proper release or promo OR remember where I got it from as a bootleg.

The artwork on the CD is the below, which from a very quick look is TMoQ artwork.

That Dylan site was most helpful, wasn't it? So TMOQ was a boot label that pre-dated Swingin' Pig. The latter sprang up in the '80s and adopted the pig logo(s). Groovy.

Yeah you are probably right although I do have a couple of vinyl bootlegs from Aerosmith, Queen, Zeppelin with Porky Prime Cut in the run out groove. I knew there was a pig involved somewhere
