...and also following on from a poll thread to decide the best Aerosmith live bootleg title, I thought it'd be nice to have an all-purpose thread for misc. bootleg stuff...
So: boots with silly/inappropriate/naff artwork, weird/funny titles, badly translated titles, photos of the wrong artist entirely, dump 'em all here!
There seems to be a zillion threads on bootlegs, but they all seem to deal with finding the best boots/sound quality etc. Here I'm more interested in the artwork/naffness of the packaging.

many years ago, when usenet was a thing, there was a guy who posted to the pink floyd newsgroup every week a message saying "WTD: GIANT BARN DANCE", which was apparently the title of an unremarkable vinyl boot from the '77 tour. after several months i got sick enough of this to title every single post i made, no matter what the topic, "WTD: GIANT BARN DANCE".
yeah i was _real popular_ over there.

I have a Patti Smith boot with funny liner notes, but pretty sure I couldn't find a pic on the net.
And I remember those Xerox on colored paper boot covers.

wtf, I think this is it. Not very legible notes by "Jiz Wenner."

"Bingo Hand Job" is (obv) a classic one. I can't find image(s) of the two tapes that I owned, which used the iconic neon-orange inserts, but here's a variation:
