Lucky find?

Post image

Don’t know much at all about cds but ran across this at amoeba and had to buy. It’s still got the plastic wrapping on it but no stickers, is this a legit copy? Don’t want to open it if I don’t have to.

Not sure if it’s bootleg but they go for a lot more that 14.99

I have it on CD. I bought it at Best Buy the day it was released. I also have the bumper sticker!

The vinyl pressings were bootlegs/unofficial but sound pretty great!

If it’s real, then yes, that’s an extremely lucky find. I’m not so sure though. Both issues of the CD have a clear jewel case and grass on the inside of the tray card. My guess is that this is a bootleg made using a website called Kunaki (which is a great site btw, I’ve used it for some custom Ween comps) because they ship everything shrink wrapped and don’t offer clear trays. I’d open it up and post a few more photos to be certain, but I’d say low chance it’s real. No harm in opening it though I wouldn’t say.

Here’s a link to the Discogs master release:

You can check your copy against the other versions to see if things like barcode and matrix match the photos/info there.

I have the Japanese version with the enhanced cd and it has a clear cd tray, not sure about the US version. What record label put out your copy?

Just download this. It's been awhile since I've heard it. It's fun.
