Preferred labels pressing official bootlegs - recommendations?

It took a very short amount of time to amass the studio collection on vinyl. Promised myself that i wouldnt go down the official bootlegger vinyl road because no unlimited funds :crazy_face:

However, while on vacation in Chicago I found the Fuzz Club pressing of Melbourne '21. Sealed and cheap for a 3LP set, i went back on my word.

So then, looking for opinions on the best labels. I’m not an audiophile by any means, just prefer getting immersed in the vinyl experience. Any stand out from a sound perspective? Or packaging?

I’ve always been happy with Needlejuice. Packaging is good, sound quality is good. I appreciate that they keep the original covers and expand on them. Levitation has been good too. Their Chicago '23 set came out really nice.

Original covers are a plus for me for sure. I’ll check em out.

Already dreaming about the Chicago 24 box :grinning:

I would say, if you like boxers - go with Levitation imo, the Red Rocks splatter vinyl’s were exactly as advertised. Sounded really great too. I am getting the Chicago '23 boxset tomorrow in the mail and I just preordered the Forest Hills '24 boxset they starting taking orders for last Friday. Beware the vinyl - it’s a rabbit hole, much like King Gizz themselves :wink:
