The Swingin 'Pig Records was initially a bootleg - Label with initially unknown origin, which mainly LPs and singles released. The first publications were in the early 1980s. During this time three singles and about twenty long-playing records were released. The label was later one of the first to release bootleg CDs and the first to offer bootleg CDs in high-quality box sets . A sub-label of The Swingin 'Pig Records was Magic Dwarf Records, which in 1988 sold records by the Beatles and Rolling Stones.
Around 1985 had the label a place of business in Luxembourg and let his recordings over the small record label Perfect Beat recordings in Brakel of Germany from selling . GEMA fees have now also been paid, but the various artists received nothing. This was possible because in some European countries the rights for the artists had expired after 20 or 25 years. After massive protests by various artists (including Metallica , The Rolling Stones , Neil Young and Frank Zappa ), the copyrights in the European countries concerned were changed (Agreement on the Protection of Performing Artists, Manufacturers of Sound Carriers and Broadcasting Companies (“Rome Agreement “)) And the label disappeared from the market in the mid-1990s. Remaining stocks were handled by Soundhouse Music .
It was announced The Swingin 'Pig Records , above all by its unauthorized recordings of the Beatles , Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. The LP / CD Box Atlantic City '89 was the label's most famous release. This was a digital recording of a live concert by the Rolling Stones that was recorded during a satellite broadcast. The group tried several times to ban publication. In 1991 there were several court hearings before the Hamburg Regional Court, as a result of which sales were banned for a short time. On March 22, 1991, the district court lifted the ban and the LP / CD box could be sold on. With over 70,000 copies, it is the best-selling bootleg in the world.
A total of around 250 compact discs and around 150 long-playing records, as well as three singles and two shape vinyls from the Rolling Stones were released. In addition, a few promo records were released .
Most of the approximately 150 LP releases were released on limited edition colored vinyl .
Publications
The following list gives an overview of all known sound carriers of the label, including the first bootlegs and special pressings. The Swingin 'Pig Records discontinued production with TSP 223-2. All sound carriers beyond this number are so-called fakes , mostly from Thailand, who want to continue doing business through the popularity of Swingin 'Pig Records.
According to the legal situation at the time, artists from countries that did not agree to the Rome Agreement were only granted those rights that German artists had in the respective country (principle of reciprocity). Around 1990 there were some rulings by the BGH and BVG. During this time, many TSP records were made and sold legally. Today it is legal to own, but resale is controversial. So z. B. reseller of recordings of the groups Pink Floyd and Iron Maiden warned .
