Question

Are these bootlegs?

Good day. I was looking for Howl's Moving Castle soundtrack and found on the internet some CDs by KO Records and Miya Records. Are these bootlegs or a real thing? Or are the Tokuma CDs the only originals available and everything else is a fake? By the way, I also saw a Sphere by Elliot Goldenthal. It was written that it is manufactured under license from Varese by Rock Records & Tapes Co. Ltd., which also sounded kinda suspicious. Thanks in advance.

I know that Miya Records is a bootleg company from Taiwan, but i don't know about the others.

Rock Records is one of the most important record company in Taiwan and they had a contract to made legitimate Cds under license from Varese Sarabande Records. they had among others a luxuous edition of M.Butterfly by Howard Shore with 12 color photos in hard paper and different art work cover. On the OBI you can find the logo of Varese sarabande near Rock Records logo.
Don't be so suspicious ;).
