was easy to avoid a single, or is that just a demo/bootleg? The others are all bootleg cds, and I would not recommend buying them, as you're just paying some bootlegger for the bands work. Most of those cds contain material that is easily available from traders and torrents, so it really isn't worth spending money on.

They may have proper artwork, and be a real cd, but it doesn't make them not bootlegs. Many of these releases came out without permission at the height of Soul Asylum's popularity from people trying to make a few bucks off the band. as such, i'd recommend downloading them instead of giving money to someone who printed up some CDs of the guys work. The band definitely didn't release those demos officially in any capacity (although quite a few are available as b-sides etc, but from better recordings.

Easy to Avoid - Sponge Records Stock # 003 - Released In Australia in 1993 - Contains 12 GDU Demos Recorded 6/1991

I have it on CD and the Rest on MP3. What do you want to know about them?

And its not like these Bootlegs are still being made. They are all used now anyways, so the bootleggers arent getting any money either. And diddnt make much in the first place. And no, there is no difference in downloading from a sharing site.

P.S. Check Ebay in Italy and Australia. You can get the KTS Bootlegs from italy ebay all the time.

The Quality is good. Sounds like a Tape converted to CD. (Which it most likely is)

Also, the Case says "Easy to avoid", but the disc it says, "easy to forget". So when you read it like a book it says, "easy to avoid, easy to forget". Anyways, I once saw on ebay someone had just the CD, and no case. They thought it was called, "easy to forget", and had the auction titled as such. OS try searching for Easy to Forget as well.
