The right channel was running a half-semitone too slow (what a jarring listen), so it's been corrected!

Thanks for the upload btw!

Thank you!!

Thanks Greg, it was giving me a headache try to fix it myself, and I don't mean Freddie's vocals :)

Simple answer - because it's not illegal there.

I found that hard to believe so I googled:
"bootlegs are not illegal in japan"

Turns out it is illegal.
Prosecution is difficult.

This 1997 billboard magazine article explains the situation quite good:

Good read.

So that one time in the 1990s they made an example out of a few guys because the RIAJ was upset, but that seems to be the exception to the rule. Clearly little has changed in the last 20 years, as Tokyo remains the epicentre for bootleg shops.

Give this a spin:

It actually predates the article you posted, but it explains the overall situation pretty well. The major point is that the bootlegs are entirely of western artists, not of Japanese artists, which is why the authorities tend to let it slide. In the west we would call that a "decriminalized" status. It's like a half way to being legal, and they just look the other way.

it's not that simple......most of the Japanese releases are not Japanese pressings....

Thank you :-)

Interesting - can you elaborate on this ?

There's a gap between It's Late corrected and Brighton Rock

Stick with this version, from the master tape:

And I posted an It's Late fix for that version on page 2.
