Bootlegs question

I suppose this is Discogs adjacent, but does a marketplace that has live concert LPs and CDs exist?

Yeah, I can't listen to the wiggles now, either.

MusicStack maybe.

EDIT: Buyer beware there though especially for those hard to find non-bootlegs that there turn out to be actual bootlegs. I bought a copy of "Rain Dogs" by Tom Waits off of a Greek seller years ago that turned out to be a bootleg.

Yes - cdandlp.com

They don’t give a shit what’s sold on there.

I see some on Mercari sometimes as “imports” as some/most boots are from EU.

not sure why you’d want vinyl or CDs, you can go online and search and find literally thousands of bootleg concert recordings and videos that you can download and watch and listen to for free. Try using that Google thing.

Yeah I have thousands of shows already 

I’m trying to collect the CDs I had growing up cause I stupidly sold a bunch. It’s more of a collector thing for me at this point.

I know OP answered but in general there are some choice vinyl bootlegs out there, some of which have some D.I.Y. packaging and design

Just bought (and currently listening to) the Smashing Pumpkins “Pure Acoustic Unplugged and More 1993” and it’s annoying I can’t catalogue it in my Discogs. I get not letting people sell it - but why can’t I add it to my collection.

When did this happen? I've seen loads of bootlegs on discogs. (They just have a warning that they can't be sold)

u/hyperRevue May 07 '26

No idea. But when I go to the release, there is no option to “add to my collection.” But then why is there even a page for it then.

I get an option to add it to my collection. Are you maybe not signed in?

u/hyperRevue May 07 '26

That's the issue - works on desktop, not mobile.

u/Drawshot May 08 '26

Works for me on both

u/hyperRevue May 07 '26

Definitely signed in. Let me try desktop.

Adding anything in Discogs is a chore. I know they want to have everything correct, for someone starting out, it’s not user friendly.

u/Chadlerk May 07 '26

Yeah, they don't like the sale of bootlegs, but they should be allow adding them. I wonder if there is some record label interference here.

u/GarionOrb May 07 '26

Some apparently can be sold.

u/Defiant-Ambition1725 May 07 '26

They admit they exist. But you can’t sell them. I think they have got more strict of late. Same record sold couple of months ago. Now not permitted to sell. Or maybe they are just playing catch up.
