Questions collectors usually ask

Lost Tape Club is a collector-to-collector archive and online store focused on rare bootleg CDs, live recordings, studio sessions, outtakes, demos, box sets and hard-to-find music material. It is made for fans who care about specific concerts, unreleased sessions, alternate versions, historical moments and recordings that are usually very difficult to find through regular stores or streaming platforms.

Bootleg CDs are unofficial collector releases of recordings that almost never appear in regular stores or on streaming platforms: live concerts, soundboard tapes, radio and TV broadcasts, studio outtakes, alternate mixes, demos and rehearsal sessions. Collectors look for them because of the music itself: specific concerts, tours, versions and historical moments that official catalogs never released.

You can browse our full archive on the bootleg CDs page or jump straight to browse by artist.

No. These are high-quality CDR collector releases, not factory Silver Press CDs. For this kind of bootleg / unofficial collector material, Silver Press is not really the right category to expect. The value is the music itself: live recordings, studio sessions, outtakes and collector material that is usually very hard to find through regular stores or streaming platforms.

They are professionally made with full custom artwork, printed discs and collector packaging.

The tracking number lets you follow the package after dispatch.

The catalog includes many different kinds of sources: soundboard recordings, audience recordings, radio and TV broadcasts, studio sessions, outtakes, demos, rehearsals and alternate versions.

The variety of sources is part of the collector nature of the catalog, with material from specific concerts, tours, sessions and historical moments.
