    I picked up this copy at a record fair in ICC, Gent, Belgium, completely unaware that it was an unofficial release.

      I picked up this copy at a record fair in Düsseldorf, , completely unaware that it was an unofficial release. That said, the sound quality is decent with some background crackling and hissing, even though it is in mint condition. My guess is that it was directly copied from the original Island version, 88 166 XAT.
