A post was merged into an existing topic: About the word “mixtape”
The digital “rerelease” wouldn’t be a pseudo-release as that has a different meaning in MB
Pseudo-release should be used for translations or transliterations that do not appear on an actual release (even if they appear on an official site).
But otherwise, yes, that’s the situation - a physical bootleg being redistributed as a digital download.

If it’s widespread enough to be found by other users on the internet, I’m fine with it being in the database.
MB has never been about splitting hairs about stuff like this, as long as it’s accurately labeled and not misleading. Obviously it’s different if its someones personal mixtapes that never made it out into the wild.
The discussion re. whether it’s a proper “bootleg” is pointless semantics imo, is anybody really confused by the distinction… it doesn’t seem like it.
