Up for auction is this very tough to find original copy of this LP.  This was a heavily bootlegged LP.  Bootlegs looked pretty close but the way to really tell is an original has a stamped matrix in the dead wax, all boots had a hand etched matrix.  Also the labels on the boots looked a little rough and this is a nice smooth red mercury label.  Cover is either a strong VG+ or weak VG++. Record is a visual very nice VG++ with one side maybe a little better.  Its not a perfect copy but is a nice player copy or filler till a mint one comes along.  Those are hard to come by in any condition.  Usually it is the bootleg found.  I have personally only come across 2 in 20 some years looking through thousands of records.  Outside the U.S. ask before bidding as listed shipping is U.S. only.  Shipping is 4.22 despite what ebay has listed.  Postal rates went up please wait to be invoiced.  Bidding starts at 12.00, shipping is 4.22.
