Whoa. I just received this 4LP set in the mail... It is really nice! I didn't think it would be this huge and this nice, because it cost less than $60 on Amazon.ca with free shipping. If anyone is thinking about it but isn't quite sure, I'd recommend it, because it seems like a pretty good deal to me.

did you know it was a bootleg or did you get hosed? if it's the latter, that sucks, man.
i have a blue vinyl copy from back in the day. i remember taking a trip with a friend and his family to chicago when i was 17 or so and i found the lp at tower records. this was probably 95 or 96. biggest thing about the vinyl version is a bunch of songs are edited down so the album fits on one record. can you tell if that's the case for your copy? if not, perhaps that's part of the reason why it doesn't sound good- fitting 66min on 2 lp sides isn't ideal.
Yes, I got hosed. It was an impulse buy, shouldn't have been drinking and looking at Ebay. I'm hoping for a proper re-issue sometime down the road. And yes, some of the songs are edited down. Dumb move on my part. :fp:

Managed to get an original UK pressing a couple of months back, which completed my Floyd studio album collection It was the most I've ever paid for vinyl, but still much cheaper than it usually goes for! Couldn't believe my luck. It's a great sounding copy, too.
My most recent purchases (just arrived today!):
Downward Spiral is the 2008 repress rather than the original, but I've heard mostly good things. Can't wait to spin these!
And I planted my bolo knife in the neck of mad John Finn. I took his wretched life.
Now I'm over near the bandstand, every hand moving on John Finn's wife...

I had a good old fashioned rummage through the dusty charity shops today - I took a chance on this - a Sundazed all analog repress - for £3
just looked up a review: "Smokin' at the Half Note is essential listening for anyone who wants to hear why Montgomery's dynamic live shows were considered the pinnacle of his brilliant and incredibly influential guitar playing. Pat Metheny calls this "the absolute greatest jazz guitar album ever made," and with performances of this caliber ("Unit 7" boasts one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded)"
Sounds promising!

Finally got around to playing it today, and can confirm what others have said - it's a fantastic sounding piece of vinyl! Highly recommended.
At the other end of things... got this off of eBay:
A pretty dirty copy, sadly, with a hell of a lot of crackle throughout. Not so bad on the noisier tracks, but Avalanche and A Box For Black Paul are tough to listen to.
And I planted my bolo knife in the neck of mad John Finn. I took his wretched life.
