In the past six months lots of hard to find/expensive 80s/90s house 12"s have been repressed in what are claimed to be authorized and remastered versions (e.g. Bassmental, Mood II Swing, William S, Da Rebels, Romanthony, Dannel Dixon, Donnie, a number of Ron Trent and Chez Damier titles, etc.) Are these really legit? Hard to figure out who would be coordinating the licenses and sourcing the master tapes from so many different labels/copyright owners etc. The few I've bought are a great pressings - but def. interested to know if they are bootlegs or not.

Hello... all the above titles were official and done with full support from the original labels.
