Vigotone

Have you noticed that the best collectors'/bootleg CDs on the market have the name "Vigotone" on them? Just about every release on Vigotone (or one of its subsidiary labels) features rare recordings, excellent sound quality, as well as packaging that puts "legitimate" releases to shame!

Since most bootleg sites (like the "Beatleg Project" site) collect only the CDs relevant to a particular artist, this site strives to compile and list every release on Vigotone and its subsidiary labels. It's as complete as I've been able to determine, but if you know of any releases not included here, or if you spot any errors in the content, please let me know.

Also, you should know that Vigotone went out of business in 2001. The titles listed around this site are not for sale. While I may offer a few extra titles for sale from time to time (listed below), this site is primarily for information about Vigotone only!

Updates:

January 16, 2012 - I just realized that the site has recently celebrated its 10th anniversary... (Don't ask me when the exact date was. It was sometime in the Autumn of 2001, but I never took notice of when the site actually went live for the first time.)

For this update, quite a bit of news...

For the first time in ages, I'm able to offer an original copy of "What You've Been A-Missin'". Details are below.

Also, I'd like to thank Chris H. for supplying me with some new disc scans - including a yellow and black variation of "The Lost Pepperland Reel". (He also sent in a scan of the "silver" CDR version of "It's Not Too Bad", and a few upgrades of other titles.)

Thanks also are in order for Stuart C. who sent in a report on the infamous "Summer 1999 Promo Sampler" fake. He even sent a scan of the disc's label. (See the "original fakes" page for that one.)

So, thanks again to both Chris and Stuart, and I also thank all of you who've been visiting the site for the past ten years!

For Sale:

As long-time visitors to this site know, I'm not related to the guys who made Vigotone CDs, nor are the titles generally available for sale. However, I do occasionally come across Vigotone CDs, and if they're authentic, offer them here. Below are some authentic Vigotones I've found in the recent (& not-so-recent) past, as well as some other collectors' CDs.

I've tried to keep the prices what they've been in the past, but Vigs are getting increasingly difficult to find...

Also, you might be able to find people at eBay selling "Vigotone" CDs for less money, but you'd probably be getting a fake. I guarantee that the Vigotone CDs I sell are authentic.
