Cardiacs - Rude Bootleg

Officially released "Bootleg" recorded live off the mixing desk direct onto cassette at the last minute at the Reading Rock Festival, August 24th 1986.

All copies are white labels. Some are rubber stamped directly onto the label, others have rectangular stickers printed by the same rubber stamp applied to them as the direct stamped ones were smudging. There are a small number of unlabelled/unstamped ones in circulation. Rubber stamp is the same one used for the front cover, with an additional "A" or "B" stamped on by hand as their position varies from copy to copy.
Outer sleeves are plain white with a hand applied rubber stamp on top left corner. An A4 photocopied insert on pastel coloured paper with brief details about the recording and a track listing was included.

This album is often mistaken for a promo copy or an unauthorised release.
