COUNTERFEITS:
This album has been heavy bootlegged since 2003. All counterfeits also issued in a gatefold sleeve.
Differences can be determined by looking at the gatefold sleeve (see image) or the runout-groove etchings. Original copies have the MR-151-A on one side of the runout at the 6 o'clock position and L-50953 at the 12 o'clock position.

Some bootleg copies have no run-out groove etchings at all. Other versions have "MR-151-A/L-50953" written all together on side A and "MR-151-A/L-50953X" on side B. Barcode and Other Identifiers Matrix / Runout (A-side etched): MR-151-A L-50953 Matrix / Runout (B-side etched): MR-151-B L-50953X  I purchased this record from ebay 18 years ago for a hefty price.  This is the real deal vinyl. Will insure shipment at purchaser expense.  Contact me with any questions.

I have added some pictures to show any defects of the album cover.  Please disregard the light glare apparent in most.  I will take any additional pictures and send them to any interested parties at request.
