about this Alien release than any other else...so let's put it straight!
Released in the U.K.
2001 the first pressing (500) were on green vinyl, with around 50 on
lilac/purple. Also around 10 copies on green/lilac mixture where they didn't
clean the plates. There is also 1 (and ONLY 1) copy on kidney brown vinyl, 1
copy on clear vinyl, 1 copy on clear light gold vinyl, 1 copy on clear yellow
vinyl. THESE ARE ALL FACTS!!!! The second press of 300 were all on green vinyl.

Conversation re this album and another I have listed… read from bottom up!
There were only 500 WYGIWYG pressed, spready
over 3 colours - white, silver & gold. they are rarer than BTA.
All the best

Wow! Thank you. As I say, I have quite a few, including a white (What You Give
Is What You Get). Think I'll try to give discogs a try then. Cheers again for
the reply.

Hello
I know the guy who pressed and released BTA very well and the info I posted was
100% accurate, straight from the horses mouth as it were! :)
I suggest that listing it on eBay would be OK, but nowadays listing on Discogs
at a set price often results a quicker sale with less hassle/fees. I would
imagine a yellow one would be worth £50 - £70, something like that.
All the best

Hi Alan. I have a large collection of Jam/Weller back catalogue which includes
quite a few bootleg albums. I came to discogs to check out their worth before
putting them up on eBay and when looking up the first one (B.T.A.) I saw your
comment that these pressings were limited - not only that but I actually have
the one Yellow pressing (unplayed!) you mention. Is that fact, and do you have
any idea of its worth to collectors. I suppose thirdly, do you know anybody
that might want it? Completely new to this site so appreciate any advice,
cheers.
