Wow, that takes me back to the late 1980s. I still have those originals.

Since then, many hundreds of Beatles boots have been released....

Wonder if these remasters will suck or not...?

There were even Beatles bootlegs that stole the content from those Ultra Rare Trax. And the Ultra Rare Trax name got recycled for other artists’ bootleg CDs and other volumes of Beatlegs. But there is no evidence to tie them to the originals.

I don’t even know if the claim that it is “The Trademark of Quality” Pig really is associated with the famed bootleg label of the 1960s and 1970s. The 1980s also saw CDs from Pig records Swinging Pig and other variant bootlegger names.

There is no honor among theives.

In the 1960s or 1970s, there was one bootlegger (as chronicled in the book Bootleg, The Other Music Industry) who got someone who had some rare recordings to play them through for him twice, start to finish, in his listening room (outfitted with hidden microphones) and then he released his record from those copied recordings.
