Since I am working from home, I decided I might rip some of my boots. All vinyl boots will have the same lineage and processing:
Thorens TD105 -> Marantz 1030 -> PC Line In -> Adobe Audition
Normalize both channels to 80%, iZotope RX8 de-click with 2% sensitivity and iZotope RX8 de-hum for 60 hz mains
With that, here is a great, CANADAIN bootleg (not many of those) from Stash Records called: It's The Black and White Minstrel Show With The Beatles Live!
I've never seen this one posted anywhere before so here is my fresh rip. Both discs are in NM condition but there is some surface noise that is more prominent on the first disc. This is a really fun album and the sound quality (for the time) is actually pretty good.

I'll keep posting more every couple of days so long as you all are interested
Update Sept 27:
Here is the next boot:
Ringo Starr - Rizz Off!
This is a pretty fun boot with great sound quality throughout. I've seen a rip of this online before but it was in MP3 format and had audible compression/noise-reduction. This is a fresh rip done by me today.
The RAR file also has the HQ front and back covers and, as requested, the record labels as well.
Please keep replying to keep this thread alive. If it stays alive, I'll keep posting every couple days.

Update Sept 29
This is a pretty great boot. It's John Lennon's Yin Yang from Bag Records. The first track, Serve Yourself is great fun if you've never heard it before. John goes on a long cursing rant about kids these days. Also, the sound quality on most tracks is really great. The Mucho Mungo takes in particular sound better here than most other places.
The RAR has the FLAC as one file and the front and back covers and labels in HQ. This time I did 300 dpi on the covers for those that want to print them extra big. The covers are scanned as 4 parts and then photomerged in Photoshop back together. Sometimes you can see little blips where the pieces are stuck together. Sorry for that.

Oh, would people rather the tracks as separate or one long on? I prefer the long, but what would the community like?

Update Oct 2
Here is a great vinyl boot from Cage Records. Paul McCartney & Wings - Eggs Up, for my money, is better than the Back To The Egg album. The sound quality on this one is studio tape quality - although it is a bit muddy at times. Only a little. Overall it's such an enjoyable album. I encourage you to give this one a listen if you haven't already.
For this album I have split up the individual tracks, ID tagged them correctly and included HQ scans. Unfortunately, this album has a stunning glossy black cover which is near impossible to scan correctly. I hope you'll agree that I did my best with that one.

I think I'll do a Beatles next if that's ok with everyone. Lord - any requests?

Update October 14
This is a fun update. For today's listening pleasure we have The Beatles - Beautiful Dreamer. This is an early (1981) BBC boot and was the first place some of these tracks appeared. The sound quality is, well, what you would expect from early BBC tapes: buzzy, hissy and tinny.
Because of this, I also included in the download a REMASTERED edition of this LP. The remastered edition uses the latest LR BBC set for the tracks. I quite like the sequencing of the tracks on this release (both the LP rip and the Remastered).

Here is the download link. Included in the RAR are both LP and Remastered in FLAC with separated tracks and ID tags. Also included are HQ covers and backs for both releases and the Side A label scan.
