<p><b>Exploito</b> is a term generally given to describe cover version or sound-alike recordings that capitalize on the official recordings of artists. Typically they are of the <a href="Budget_album" title="Budget album">budget release</a> type of album. Often the buying public would think they are buying an album by the actual artist.
</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2></div>
<p>The typical exploito album is aimed at the unsuspecting buyer with the attraction of a budget price. In the United States, Alshire was one label that released this type of album. In <a href="Toronto" title="Toronto">Toronto, Ontario</a>, Canada, the label there was <a href="Arc_Records_(Canada)" title="Arc Records (Canada)">Arc</a>. The current hits of the day would be recorded. Sometimes local musicians would be used.

One example of how an exploito album imitates a genuine release is the <i><a href="Mark%2C_Don_%26_Terry_1966%E2%80%9367" class="mw-redirect" title="Mark, Don & Terry 1966–67">Mark, Don & Terry</a></i> album which has the layout and cover art and design copies a recent release of a legitimate album.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They often ended up being put into stores by <a href="Rack_jobber" title="Rack jobber">rack jobbers</a>.
</p><p>These releases were proliferated by unknown or unpopular artists, with the sound quality and packaging sometimes being considered "<a href="Bootleg_recording" title="Bootleg recording">bootleg</a>".<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, some exploito albums later managed to gain recognition amongst record collectors, such as the <i>Mariano and the Unbelievables</i> album, released in 1967, by a group called "the Blues Train" on a budget exploito label called Condor, alongside releases by exploito-psych bands, <a href="The_Fire_Escape" title="The Fire Escape">the Fire Escape</a>, the 31 Flavours and the Animated Egg .<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
