heh imo a re-edit is the same as a remix
a bootleg can be one of 2 things:
- a straight 'pirate copy' of a tune
- an unauthorised remix (eg. mashup with uncleared vocals etc)

A re-edit is what it says really, an edit. It's not a remix, its probs a shortened version of the tune, a lengthened version, or a rearrangement of the tune.
A digital re-edit would be the same tune, but better sounding than its original form
A remix its like to deconstruct a tune and rebuild it diffently from what it originally was, adding things to it, changing the style, speeding it up, etc etc.

Generalizing
Bootleg: this would be a straight (unauthorised) repress of the orignal
Re-edit: someone has changed the arrangement of the tune to be make it more dancefloor friendly - ie extending the intro and outro and adding some drops and maybe a couple of FX - but the production has not been altered (maybe a little EQ to beef it up) Elton John's - Are You Ready to Love #1 from last year was a re-edit
Remix: this where many production elements have been added to the original to make it more dancefloor friendly ie new drums/basslines and synths - eg Ben Liebrands Mix Of Bill Withers Lovely Day or Sure Is Pures Remix of Doobie Brothers Long Train Running
However Re-edit is a very "in vogue" expression at the moment and can often mean a remix anyway
best bet is to have a listen 'cos personally Redits = , Remixes =
whats the EK track yer after? Girl You Need A Change Of Mind/Going Up In Smoke/Keep on Truckin/Date With The Rain????

How good is Date With the Rain???!!! Heard this in a club a few weeks ago, amazing stuff... I never realised the Jamie Principle one was a cover :$
Was thinking of buying this:

Does anyone happen to know if it's a dodgy bootleg or a proper release?

well now i wouldn't go that far.....the list of records where the remix was better than the original is FAAAARRR too long to list, or even think about.
thanks guys
so - my bootleg re-edit of Eddie Kendricks -Goin up in Smoke is just an (unauthorised) repress of the orignal, but re-arranged
One of my fave re-edits then is Nathan D-Troit - "No Sleep Til Green Street -oh and the stuff on Moxie is brilliant too
