This message is written on behalf of Kevin Tomkins and Paul Taylor of Sutcliffe Jugend, by their label Between Silences / Unlabel Records: To all those who have purchased this bootlegged edition of the 'We Spit On Their Graves' set for £50... While this work has not been available for many years, you may know that we are currently working on an official reissue of this complete set together with bonus material from this era, to be released on SJ's own Between Silences label, which is run by the folks at Unlabel Records. This set is being prepared at the moment and will be released soon with all material being sourced from the original high quality masters (they sound amazing), and it will be sold at a very reasonable price.
We understand people are keen to hear and own this set in some form however this entire work belongs to Sutcliffe Jugend and the rights for it belong to us and our labels, and these unofficial bootlegged reissues of this work directly contravene UK copyright laws, particularly as this set will be in print again in the near future.
As a label we take this matter seriously. We have contacted the seller of these sets direct to ask that they cease creating and distributing this work in any format with immediate effect and that they refund any payments received to date regardless of whether orders have been fulfilled.
We have the complete emailed details of what was offered, together with the seller's postal address and bank details, and will take further action if necessary, as potentially large sums of money are being exchanged for illegal versions of valuable copyrighted work.
We ask that those of you that have sent monies for this bootleg set seek a full refund directly from the seller or through PayPal, or by any other means payment was made.
We would like you all to hear and hopefully own this work, but as it was intended to be heard, rather than from someone else benefiting massively (potentially many hundreds if not thousands of pounds are known to be changing hands here) from selling a cheap poor quality bootlegged version - and we will be making this possible for you very soon. The set will include numerous extras and will be nicely packaged.
If you would like any further details about the official reissue set or further details of the seller of these bootlegged tapes, please contact us by email at:

Thank you.
Between Silences
