Bootlegs

Bootlegs are unofficial recordings, often produced overseas to avoid legal issues. Most bootlegs are either live recordings, remix albums, or compilations.

Sometimes, popular bootlegs would be cloned by competitors and released under a different album title. Or sometimes with the same title (as happened often with Purest Feeling and Demos & Remixes).
