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!

I'd like to thank John M. for sending in a scan of the gold CDR version of "Last Flight" (check out the disc image page for 1998 to see it).

Eight titles have also been added to the "For Sale" section below. These are the most original Vigotones I've been able to offer for quite some time. So, if there are any holes in your collection, now's your chance to fill them in.

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.

Artist	The Beach Boys	The Beatles
Title	Aloha From Hawaii	Shea! / Candlestick Park
Label	Spank (SP-147)	Spank (Spank 109)
Condition / Notes	Japanese CD version - with original packaging! After Vigotone went away, the original Japanese discs often turned up for sale in new/knockoff packaging. This example has the original US inserts from 2001! Since this is one of the last Vigotone CDs made before the company got shut down, it's quite rare. Now's your chance to get the most-desirable version - Japanese pressed CDs with original US inserts! Disc is mint. Let's say the inserts are near mint.	Original CD version! Booklet, disc, and jewel case inserts are mint. Outer box rates near mint with just a few light marks. A gorgeous example of this very popular title!

Title	What You Been A-Missin'
Label	Vigotone (Vigo 134-137)
Condition / Notes	Original CD version! Discs, jewel case inserts, and booklet are in mint shape (but to prevent any problems later, let's say "near mint"). The outer box has a few wrinkles due to the tight fit of the inner box (a problem inherent with this set). Even includes the original outer bag and sticker. Click on each thumbnail for much larger images. This is the first copy of this set I've seen in about eight years, so now's your chance! [Also, please be aware that due to the horrendous yen-dollar exchange rate, shipping for this will be more than it would have been a couple of years ago.]
