Longtime listener, first time caller, blahblahblah you all know it.


Anyway, for like 3 years now, i've had this Offspring bootleg that's had me wondering. I got it at a used record store close to my home in Michigan.

It have the Americana and self-titled albums on it, along with live versions of Pretty Fly, WDYGAJ, and the reprise of Pay the Man (not sure why, makes it the second time it's on the disc).

Also, on the cover (as you can see below) there is a red circle with the words "happy 10 bonus year" inside of it. At this same store, there was a single-disc bootleg of Americana with this same saying (sadly, i did not pick it up, and the store closed a year later). The disc did have bonus tracks, but i'm not sure what.

My question is, does anyone else have any of these discs? The only labl info I can find is a small logo with an H inside, which was unreadable to me until I received a No Doubt boot on the same label, which appears to be called Hallahup (maybe Invisible Halahup, i really have no clue). The company seems to be russian, because of some russian writing on the ND boot (which i no longer have).

Judging by the pictures, the bootleggers only had a copy of the liner noted to the self-titled album written by The offsprings (bootlegers never fail to make me laugh), or maybe they thought pictures weremore important, and left out the Americana liners.

Anybody else have this weird thing?

It's the version at the end of the Americana album with the trumpets and the like.

Here in Brazil (for coincidence), there's a online store selling the same bootleg, is says there it's from HI-END RECORDS. And i already saw other version of these double cds on some stores on brazil.

I'm not a huge fan of this kind of bootleg, i prefer the live ones...

I definaley prefer live ones too. I'd rather buy the real album so the band gets money. The only reason I bought the double album is because it was cheap, and I had both albums already.

Now on the side of the cd, it sas "Hi-end collection". Weird.

oh that's cool....LEGIT double albums are great in my opinion, unless the packaging sucks.

Most often called Pretty Fly (Reprise) or Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) (Reprise), not that often called reprise of Pay the Man. I don't know of anything that could be a reprise of Pay the Man. So I too would like a confirmation if it's the song that brothadave79 is claiming.

That's not the double album bootleg... It's just pirated release of Americana, I do have it too.
