Does anyone have any information on the record label that is issuing this release, IAC Music Japan?
Based on the research that I have done this appears to be an Japanese bootleg record label that according to the Discogs database has issued over 150 CD’s and SACD’s and of that number all are listed as “Unofficial Releases” with only about 25 not being labelled as such.
It seems pretty clear that IAC Music Japan is a bootleg record label so one has to wonder what source(s) are they using for the four Allan Holdsworth SACD releases. Most likely these will be sourced from the Manifesto Records CD remasters and simply be pressed and released on the SACD format which will yield zero audio benefits whatsoever.
If anyone has any additional info on IAC Music Japan or these upcoming Holdsworth SACD releases please leave a comment here to follow up.

I certainly do not believe that there is any basis for accusing this label of being a bootleg operation.

Yes, there is more than enough evidence to suggest that this label is not a legitimate one.
Go to Discogs and type in IAC Music Japan and take a look at the over 150 releases listed there. Of the over 150 titles ALL but 8 are deemed “Unofficial Releases”.

Just because someone has a Yahoo Store or a web site does not prove that they are legit. There are thousands of web sites that sell bootleg audio recordings as well.
