ONLY ONE OTHER ORIGINAL BLACK VINYL COPY ON EBAY AS OF 11-14-2018
Absolutely beautiful copy of this 1973 boot LP that features unrleased tracks both live and in the studio. There is question as to which pressing this is. DISCOGS fine web site states this while label LP is actually pressed on the Box Top label which featured the MJ-543 A and MJ-543 B matrix numbers etched into the runoff. Box Top still used the TMOQ cover art on the front. I'm going with my research and that is the 1984 Box Top boot release. If you collect boots, here's a fine addition for your collection.
NOTE: The cover insert under the shrink on this LP is tan in color. Also included is a blue insert of the same cover insert. It was in the LP pocket when I opened it in 1984, so I kept it together with the LP for 34 years.

From the fine AllMusic web site: "Never let it be said that bootleggers don't have a sense of humor. In the underground vinyl market of the 1970s, the cover of this Beatles bootleg was infamous for its very twisted cartoon, which depicted Ringo Starr as a doctor who was part man and part pig. The doctor was about to give an attractive young female patient what appeared to be a lethal injection, and when the terrified patient asked, "But why, doctor, why?," the man/pig angrily replied, "Because you called me a...a PIG!" Trademark of Quality, the bootlegger that originally put out Spicy Beatles Songs, had a thing for pigs -- its logo, in fact, depicted the side of a pig. (Note: a different bootlegger who pretended to be Trademark of Quality had a logo that depicted a pig smoking a cigar.) Because the dark-humored cartoon was such an attention-getter, Spicy Beatles Songs was a hot underground item.
Stored vertically in a smoke free environment for 34 years.
