Awesome how much did it cost?

You know, I don't quite recall because I bought this around 2 or 3 years ago. I think I paid somewhere along the lines of $30.00 for it from a collector.

OK was just wondering because i had heard of a japanese misprint of The Rolling Stones or something with the letters wrong or something going for thousands of dollars. Don't know if it's true just heard it. So was just wondering about this one.

No problem at all. I have heard that the production figures on this piece were somewhere along the lines of 400. According to a friend of mine, this used to be a really expensive item in the early to late 1990's but what has really killed its value is bootlegging. If you ever want to buy one, just get in touch with me and I can tell you what to look for to make sure you don't get hosed.

If you paid around $30 for this beauty, then you had yourself a bargain. On ebay you can find it for $100+.

You can actually still find this item at pretty good prices if you know what to avoid. Bernett Records always used plain, black vinyl records for this item and never any colored vinyl; that is always a dead give away.
