Notes

d as "exact counterfeit of original mono version" this release in fact contains the 1977 stereo version.

While the original record was issued in a "tip-on sleeve", the sleeve of this version is printed directly on the cardboard. The printing on spine is on the correct position here, while on original copies it usually appears on the right edge of the back sleeve, which was due to mispositioning the sheet before glueing and cutting.
The runout etchings are intentionally made to appear as a mono first press (althought the digits are slightly different to the original etchings) to deceive collectors and other customers.

    BOOtleg. What a sad, stupid waste of time and resources.

      Very mysterious release. Same runout groove number as the original ‘74 pressing but in different handwriting. My copy has a white liner sleeve, not black. I wonder how many were made. It says a couple were sold recently for around $35. I would have thought it was worth more than that.
