Yellow Dog was a prominent publisher of bootlegs by many prominent artists. The label released series such as "Unsurpassed Masters" (outtakes by many artists, including the Beatles and the Beach Boys) and "Day By Day" (the complete Beatles' "Get Back" sessions). This label has in turn been copied by many other bootleg labels, such as Kiss The Stone and Chapter One. Yellow Dog was shut down in Europe in 2002, but continued to run in Japan until 2006.
