Chrome Dreams (“Maximum” bootleg biography series)

~ Label

Annotation

Prolific creators of "unauthorized biography" discs active through the early-mid 2000s, mostly rock bands. All releases have the same narrator and share a handful of writers and incidental music artists. None of these contain performances or live interviews, although some contained canned interview snippets. None of the artists profiled or their respective labels, management, etc. were verifiably involved with this series at any point. As of 2020 at the latest they seem to be defunct.
