Loft Classics was a series of twelve bootleg (unlicensed) recording first released on vinyl in the period - 1995 - 2007, they were later released as two bootleg CDs. They feature tracks hard to find on legitimate vinyl releases. Most, though not all, of these selections were in fact played by David Mancuso at one time or another at his Loft parties; Mancuso is adamantly opposed to the series' use of the Loft name and Loft logo.
