frank zappa
cdr & dvdr bootlegs

The following albums are home-produced CDR's. They are called CDR bootlegs because they are sold for money. They are not to be confused with CDR recordings that are circulating in the trade circuit (without the exchange of money).
Sometimes it's very hard to tell the difference between a bootleg CDR and a factory pressed CD. The fact that some of these bootleg CDR's were / are available through the bootleg circuit only adds to the confusion.

This is a never-ending story, as everyone can produce one of these at home. I'm just adding a few of the 'better known' titles.
