They can't. "Shine Angel," for example, is nothing but a rip of the chopped-up audio CD of the November 6, 1979, St. Louis soundboard that Devilwoman originally sold.

A bootlegger -- no matter how pretty the artwork is on the jewel case -- can't "scoop" a copyright holder's first use of previously unpublished material (soundboards would probably fall in that category). The "fair use" doctrine doesn't stretch quite that far.
