Footlight Records issues

Obviously theyve never been the same since they shut down their physical location, and their website has been mostly irrelevant in recent years. I searched online a while back to see if I could find a vinyl copy of Jeeves by ALW-I wanted the 70s flop version. Low and behold, Footlight came up as having a CDR copy of the album. I ordered it and it only took a few days to get here (Upstate NY).

The CD has one more track than the track listing and none of the songs are in order-I found a copy of the album on YouTube to verify this. So I sent in a comment via their website informing them that in addition to the track issues, the sound quality was really lacking and that I was not happy-that was over a month ago and I still havent gotten a response.

Then a few days back I started looking at their New Releases-some of them seem to border very closely to outright bootlegs both audio and video.

Is Footlight Records still a legit retailer or not? Has anyone else run into issues? I figured being the Footlight Records that I had done business with for so many years that a CDR copy of the album was done with permissions-but I was obviously foolish to think that now.
