Does anyone know where I can get a legit one of these? I've tried several onlines stores and have found nothing. Amazon seems to only have bootlegs. This set on ebay looks a little more promising. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=307&item=4708692354&rd=1 It claims to have all 7 cds instead of the more common 3 cd sets I seem to find eveywhere. So is it the real deal? Please do tell, there are only 8 hours left to bid, THANKS!

Not the real deal. Those SM version are bootleg. -_-

What a downer, but that's good to know! I figured it was a boot, just look at the price. Other than that, was there a way you could tell it was a boot. You see, I wasn't sure on this one because it didn't have the famous, [import] and [limited edition] descriptions most commonly found with bootlegs.

Do you know where to find the real deal, or are the pretty much non-existant?

Like Abel said, if it's SM (Son May) then it's a boot.. always. For Bebop, the OSTs were licensed and released by Victor, and would feature that logo. What you were looking at was merely all of the separate Bebop OSTs being sold as one set. That's not to be confused with the CD Boxset, which has 5 CDs, and features songs that can be found on the other cds (with some remixes) interspered with dialogue tracks. (The CD Box was released in 2002)

You can purchase all of the cds separately at AnimeNation (including the new "Tank' Best of OST from the Bebop game) or many other retailers.

Right Wink (sorry my topic headline was a little miss leading), along with that I also found what I believe to be a 3 CD set boot that claims to be the CD Box set, it's here on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000065EFX/qid=1110671405/sr=8-7/ref=pd_csp_7/103-5786602-4055003?v=glance&s=music&n=507846. All I'm really looking for is a huge collection of the songs from Bebop. If either of those were legit I would have bought them. It looks like buying the 5 CD set or seperately seem to be my only legit opptions.

Anyway, I wasn't sure what Abel ment by SM, now that I do I'll look for Victor, thank-you. I'll also check out AnimeNation.

On Amazon, I wouldn't recommend trusting anyone selling anime DVDs or soundtracks unless it's actually Amazon. Their "new & used" section functions much like eBay or half.com where just anyone can sell anything and the place is littered with bootlegs.

Yeah, I learned that one the hard way. I bought a Bebop boot there Twisted Evil. The famous 3 DVD limited edition.

I'm sure I was told that over 60% of anime products there are boots.

I still havn't found the CD box yet. Does anyone know were one is being sold? Could you be so kind as to point me in that direction? Thanks.

Sorry, the CD box was limited edition so you won't be able to find it unless you can find someone who kept it since '02 and hasn't parted ways with it yet.

I have one. It has to have 'Victor' to be legit. Too bad the booklet it is in Japanese. I wanted to read it.
