'Greatest White Wonder' &
mix-up
This early '70s release is most probably the first deluxe (full printed)
version to have the 'Royal Albert Hall' name on the jacket. Released
by an unknown Label (Probably European), It may predate the USA Label
releases. This LP is one of the most confusing bootleg titles ever to be
released on vinyl. Be sure to click the links at right to learn all about
the cover mix-up. You can return here from any link that you click by using

package as a reissue. To learn info and view that LP click here.

One of the most confusing LP bootlegs ever to be released is this early
'70's release by an unknown European Label. It is a deluxe folder
type black and white wrap-around cover. The LP has full printed yellow
labels. The confusion stems not only from not knowing the manufacturer,
but also from the fact that so many different LPs are to be found in this
cover. To start with, what is thought to be the first release of the tape
on vinyl is ' In 1966 There Was'. That
LP also appears in this cover. Also released in this cover were the USA
releases from TAKRL and two different
TMQ-2
LPs. This is also the basic cover for 'Greatest
White Wonder'.
Then it gets more confusing. Evidently there were many extra covers
printed up for this title. That is not an uncommon practice because of
the relatively inexpensive printer cost to run extra copies on the initial
set up. That is the reason for not only using the cover for the above releases,
but for also folding it inside out, as TAKRL decided to do, and stamping
it 'Now Your Mouth Cries Wolf' .... and releasing the 'Wolf'
album in the resulting cover. It is still unclear why a TMQ type stamp
was used. And to complicate things to the extreme, The RAH LPs above
were also issued in this reverse stamp cover that was intended only for
the 'Wolf' LP! Therefore, folding the cover back right side out would
again produce an actual true cover and proper LP for RAH. Another way of
thinking it out, would be that some of the releases of RAH in the above
photo were issued with their cover folded inside out and stamped with 'Now
Your Mouth Cries Wolf'
