I suppose this must be deemed a bootleg! While the jacket replicates the OG to a tee, there is no barcode and the vinyl has no etchings or stamps in the runouts which are totally bare. Also unique to this cut, side one has an extended alternative version of Golden Earrings as the 6th and final track on the side!
The paper inner sleeve was binned years ago in favour of a poly lined jobby. I washed the LP in my Degritter and tested it.... its notthe best pressing. Theres a warp albeit it doesnt affect playback. There is light noise throughout. I head a few brief non fill moments on side one. Ive heard worse but ive heard better. It would matter more if this was an audiophile recording.... it never has been and never will be!
A rare and unusual copy in mint condition throughout but not a demo disc by any means!
Thanks for looking
