    Haha! Rockaway!  I looked at that record when it was in the store and if I remember correctly the story was that  record was used as packing material in another large box of records from the pressing plant or something.  I think it was $500 or $600 for the lone record. I like that GITD pressing of the record because it rips off The Amazing Kornyphone Record Label back covers from the 70’s. A bootleg of a bootleg if you will. Great concept and execution. Here’s the back cover from an old Sex Pistols boot from my collection if you aren’t aware of the similarities.

    Cool info. Thanks! These records were “packing” for a shipment of other records. Wow.
    I wonder where I could find a copy of the PJ20 Kornyfone inserts for these records. A bootleg of the insert so-to-speak 😎
    Thoughts?

    As far as I can remember, I was told that record was loose in another box of records. I assume that it was probably in a box of various test pressings from RTI that went to a suit and he had at least a suspicion of what it was and brought it in for sale or trade which isn’t uncommon as I’ve seen every form of PJ20 come through there. The odds of buying an incomplete set and then finding the one needed has to be pretty close to zero. I’m glad it all worked out and it’s a great story. Also, after thinking about it, the stamp colors on the covers struck a chord and I looked up some info in one of my Pistols collector books. The stamp colors follow the original Sex Pistols “Anarchy In Sweden” bootleg release from 1978-red,purple,green,and blank. And that is a different release from the TAKRL back cover. As a Pistols collector for almost forty years now, major props to whoever came up with the concept. I feel like I cracked a code! Haha!
