Bootleg

"This is a burnover from the "Columbia" (Sony) set. "Definitive", a shell outfit last heard of in Iberia, uses consumer audio technology to burn over CD's assembled by other companies after the recordings have passed out of international copyright protection. The CD's are then serially produced in a boiler room operation. Documentation (in the case of the Columbia Robert Johnson set quite good) is discarded; there are different copyright laws and time limitations for printed matter, so customers who have mistakenly purchased "Definitive" products will receive only short middle-school style essays, frequently full of errors, inserted in the packaging.
Recent Sony remasterings are over the whole quite good and their Robert Johnson set is excellent."
