Default SC-066: Youjuu Toshi Original Animation Video Original Soundtrack (reprint)

This album should not fall under official release nor reprint.

Let me explain this case:

1) This release is more or less a bootleg.
The official fanclub does not own copyrights for the music or material. It belongs to Columbia.
Look at the CD cover; it's nothing else than a bad photoshop of the LP cover with obi picture (around 800x600 pixels) where upper and lower parts have been poorly erased. Moreover, the guy who did that did not realized that the obi was hiding the first kanji "妖" as well as "ORIGINAL".
I won't talk much about the booklet; qualty is really poor, clearly "handmade" with copy/paste from the LP sheet. Back cover is more or less a screenshot from movie title, picture CD is pixelated, etc...
Material should come from internet, LP at best but with a bad scanning skill.
Nowhere the CD holds a copyright or a Jasrac seal. This fanclub is not registered to Jasrac; so it falls under doujin or bootleg to me.
Audio quality is really bad. It's a rip. Can hear hiss and pops all over.

2) not a reprint as well.
As strange as it seems, tracklist does not match the LP. While track names remain same, lengths are different:

01 プロローグ 4:54 (LP: 5:36)
02 闇ガード 3:22 (LP: 8:04)
03 麻紀絵 8:36 (LP: 5:08)
04 It's Not Easy 4:28 (LP: 4:43)
05 妖閉空間 3:44 (LP: 3:52)
06 妖獣 3:18 (LP: 9:05)
07 夢幻 5:32 (LP: 3:14)
08 魔道士 4:18 (LP: 6:49)
09 覚醒 5:39 (LP: 3:13)
10 Hold Me In The Shadow 4:34 (LP: 4:41)

Total length: 48:29 (LP: 54:25)

When explore CD, tracks have following names:
01 A01
02 A03+
03 A02X
04 A04
05 A05
06 B1
07 B2
08 06
09 B4
10 10

So, looks like LP rip (reference to A/B sides), tracks A2 and A3 have been switched, but nothing explains the "B side" length differences...

Avoid this release at all cost. It's not worth your money.
