This section lists a selection of the most well known Quo CD bootlegs.  Over the last few years there has been an explosion of Quo CD bootlegs and it is pretty much impossible to try and keep track of them all.  There is also the problem of how to define a bootleg - as with the computer technology now available it is possible for anyone with a modern P/C to make their own bootleg CDs.
