Bootlegs

Boards of Canada: Unreleased Tracks 12" [Clone Records]

Side B
Side A

This record appeared in auction in 2007. It includes a number of Boards of Canada tracks, culled primarily from Skam's ultra-rare Mask series. In March 2007, We Are the Music Makers admin Joyrex positively identified the record as a bootleg unauthorized by Skam. The tracks are believed to have been cut from mp3, though the relative quality of the recording is a subject of debate.

Tracklisting (per the label)

  • A1 - Midas Touch (Remix)
  • A2 - Korona
  • B1 - Trapped (Hell Interface Remix)
  • B2 - Trapped (Short Slow Version)

Note that discogs' page for this release indicates that the label's tracklisting is inaccurate
