My dad had been buying Stones bootlegs for decades starting in the 80's. He would go to record shops in the village in NYC. When I was younger, he would take me to work with him, than we would take the Subway down to the Village for lunch and go to the record stores. I don't remember my exact 1st experience or what the first Stones bootleg I bought was but it was just so much fun searching through the CD's to find some rare Stones bootlegs. Unfortunately when I went back to the Village a few years ago I noticed many of the record stores had been closed, but still a few were open.
There were some good shops on Bleeker Street .One called Bleeker Bob's I think ,and one on Thompson Street also .Went back there 3 years and sadly all cd shops are gone , but there was one selling vinyl .

My first was in a "head" shop I heard about in New Hope PA, probably in 1980. I got Brussels Affair and a 10" of C*cksucer Blues / Andrew's Blues! I still have them.
Not long after I heard about the underground shops in The Village/NYC. I would go just to check out the bootlegs, probably 2 or 3 times a year. The "underground" ones were my favorite, somewhere below 4th st./Canal St. but the one w/ the most choices was always Revolver Records, it was on 8th st. off of 6th avenue. I remember buying Black & Blue sessions with Worried About You, before Tattoo You came out!

It was such an enjoyable experience bootleg shopping when I was younger!! We'd take the bus into the City, going to work with my dad, than taking the subway down to W. 4th Street, go bootleg shopping and would always find something cool to buy that wasn't there before. After sometimes we'd have tickets to a Mets game and we'd hop on the 7 train to Queens. It was so much fun, I treasure those times with my dad very fondly

'Bright Lights, Big City'. Bought it at a little record store in Bloomington, Indiana, where I was attending college. I loved it. Still do. Great artwork. The earlier the better. The Stones came charging out of the gate. Think I'll go listen to 'Diddly Daddy'.

The first bootlegs I bought was at the Record Bar in Chapel Hill, NC. They used to carry bootlegs of local concerts.
The first I bought was the 1975 Greensboro, NC and later Myrtle Beach, SC and Greensboro 1978.
