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:

June 12, 2008 - A bunch of new Vigotone (& related) boots I've found over the past few months have been posted for sale. Fill those holes in your collection today!

April 13, 2008 - Today, I added some information about the different types of CDR media Vigotone used on its various releases. And, while most of you long-time collectors are familiar with the Mitsui Gold / Kodak Gold / Mitsui CDRs used, there is some updated info about a CD Vigotone released that didn't follow that pattern. Click here for details!

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 need to clean the house as I need space for my growing LP collection...)

I've tried to keep the prices what they were two years ago, but Vigs (and authentic Yellow Dogs) 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.
