Gett Off white jacket bootleg on 1991 Aussie TV

Came across an interesting YouTube video of an old Australian variety show back in the day called "Hey Hey It's Saturday". Well known music industry identity Molly Meldrum had a segment and on this occassion in 1991 he shows a mystery record he received which "sounds like Prince" and goes on to briefly talk about his fear of getting in trouble from the legalities that potentially surround the so called "bootleg" circulation (geez....shows how far back this all goes!). Anyway....behold as Molly holds the famous white jacket 12" of Gett Off. A simple search of the title will reveal the video from 1min40sec in.

Yes, you are correct Unique. I didn't explain myself well enough originally. I've changed my wording to be more reflective of what Molly thought may have been a bootleg at the time.

It IS an official promo, but It's also widely bootlegged as a "sealed" mint copy.
