Live at Soldier Field LP - Real or Bootleg?

Hey Guys,

I saw this in my local record store (Vintage Vinyl in Fords NJ) and picked it up. I can't tell if it's an original first pressing out of the first 530 or if it's a green bootleg copy.

Here are 5 pictures of the one I got, let me know if you can/can't see them. I can re-upload them to imgur if necessary. https://www.facebook.com/fgkemper/media_set?set=a.10204536066392354.1073741838.1554104929&type=1

It says it's green, so that is an original copy?

But comparing my picture to theserialthrilla's post (http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/comment/4308808/#Comment_4308808) makes me believe that it's not original because of the left edge of the spine in picture 1. Anyone have a measurement on the right spine edge?

I haven't opened it so I can't check for the white vs brown inside...

Please let me know your opinions, thanks!
-Frank

    It's hard to say. The original looks like marbled toothepaste green (like aquafresh). The fakes are all different colors including one that is a solid mintish looking green.

    Odds are it's a boot. These turn up fairly regularly these days.

    I'm 50% hoping its a boot so I can just play it and get this whole 'worth' and 'value' bs out of my head... This is the first PJ item that I have come across that might be 'original' etc so I'm a little hesitant to just spin it.

    Isn't Vintage Vinyl the place that originally issued the records?

    This is a bootleg Frankie, so open away. The original has a white border round the front cover. Check out the pictures here at pjcollectors.com (the essential site for all official Pearl Jam items). http://www.pjcollectors.com/detail.asp?id=752

    I think there are more than 1 'Vintage Vinyls'. The one that produced this LP was in St Louis but I got mine from a Vintage Vinyl in NJ.

    Yeah that's what I was leaning towards but definitely wanted to get a second opinion.

    I will be spinning this as soon as I Drop in the Park finishes. :D
