Yes, I’m well aware this is bootleg and shit audio quality. I still love this pressing, with all its pops. This album is top 5 prog rock of all time.

    Are you sure it’s a bootleg? I just googled “lateralus vinyl” and found a legit store which sells a copy that looks just like yours.

    I though bootlegs died in the 80s, who pirates vinyl anymore when digital is so easy to obtain? 🤔

      Vinyl bootlegs are still quite common unfortunately. The bootleggers don’t have access to the original high quality recordings, and if they bother to master for vinyl at all it’s often just based on a CD or digital download source. So more often than not, the result is crap.
