Hola people, just picked up an LP version of the Black Album in Oxfam for the tasty price of 99 whole pence.

I already own it on CD - however, this LP version's track listing intrigued me - it goes summat like this...

Side 1:
1) The Friend of Power
2) Sin Dee Sea
3) When Two Rin L'Amour
4) George Roberts'

Side 2:
5) Whatchamacallit
6) United 4 A Cause
7) Rock Hard In A Funky Place
8) Sleepy Images
9) Friendship Bought Cheap

Its listed as 1989 pressing and entitled Jack of Spades. It also has a yellow original black album sticker with extra tracks (presumably tracks 8/9 on side 2) - In All My Dreams and Old Friends for Sale.

I'm presuming this is simply a bootleg - however, I've not seen this pressing anywhere before.

Any ideas? Or thoughts?

Fxx

It's a bootleg!

Usually bootlegers changed the name of the tracks in order to be able to press them in normal factories without going noticed!

All my dreams and Old Friends for sale are outtakes. Only Older Friends was released, but in a new version!

:nerd:

Is 'Dead On It' missing from that ?

Although, presumably it'd be called something like 'Deceased next to it'.

- That's pretty cool.

There's been a million and one bootleg pressings of TBA, but I'm not sure I've heard of this one before, with the 'unique' titles.

why is it that all the bootlegs from those golden years had fake song titles? some of them were funny!
