Some ten years ago I seem to recall that Teldec in Germany - usually 
renowned for high quality pressings of classical discs - was 'caught' 
pressing bootlegs.  These were 'easily' spotted by the incorrect labelling 
of song titles and artists, but the quality of the vinyl was fantastic! 
 This may involve some of the early Swinging Pig issues.
