Uncovered at Austrian customs, the PRE / AIDS WOLF "Live Dates" bootleg 7" single has been seized by Skin Graft Records for lawful distribution worldwide. Originating in Russia by the rogue record label SINRAFT Records, this vinyl record includes unauthorized live recordings of Montreal's AIDS WOLF and London's PRE, packaged in a full color 8 page calendar of compromising band photos.

Following is the original solicitation from SINRAFT records:

HERE IS THIRD RELEASE OF ILLICIT RECORDINGS OF SINRAFT RECORDS. LIVE RECORDED ON LONDON FROM KOSTYA DROBIK. INCREDIBLE AROUSE GUARANTEES. DOUBLE SUPER LIVE RECORDINGS OF NO WAVE ROCK!!! BOTH GROUPS IN SKIN GRAFT RECORDS.

AIDS WOLF IS CRAZY BAND OF MONTREAL ON CANADA!!! (HEARING LIKE "ARAB IN RADAR"!) PRE IS MAD BAND OF LONDON ON THE GREAT BRITAIN!!! (HEARING LIKE "MELT-BANANA"!) TOGETHER IS TWICE INTENSITY!!!! BONUS IS IMPROBABLE RECORD SLEEVE CALENDAR OF PRE AND AIDS WOLF GIRLS AND BOYS NO SHIRTS IN FULL COLOURS!!!! IS SUPER SEXY 2!!!

And So...


But that's not all! The seizure also included copies of the silhouette edition of the second SINRAFT bootleg: the controversial STRANGULATED BEATOFFS "inxs" double 7" that reproduced all four sides of the original Skin Graft Records STRANGULATED BEATOFFS "Porky The Pig and Bess" 2 x 7" - catalog number GR02! This edition, illegally issued weeks after INXS' vocalist died of rumored auto-erotica asphyxiation - is being made available as an accompaniment to the PRE/AIDS WOLF seizure set for a nominal fee!


Statement from Walt Freleng, legal department, SKiN GRAFT Records:

After consulting both bands, we have decided to make this unsanctioned PRE / AIDS WOLF release available for lawful distribution. Skin Graft Records takes the protection of its artist's rights very seriously. This record and its packaging are flagrant violations of those rights and its production is an entirely unethical and reprehensible act. It is our intention to prosecute the parties responsible to the fullest extent, and we hope that the swift kick dealt to the perpetrator's very minor intellectual properties will serve as a warning to other would be pirates.
