It's possible that a counterfeit version of this CD was issued. The only
indications are that a different type of CD "blank" was used, the cover
art is not as clean (as if the original art was scanned), and some track
times are slightly different (which may indicate it may not be a digital
copy of the original).
This is essentially an updated release of the famous vinyl boot E TICKET
"E Ticket" with some additional tracks
- absolutely essential for any collection

Release 1, 2 & 3 on East Side Music. Two versions were numbered copies, the others are un-numbered - most have custom labels (some are blank white or black), and the labels on the 3rd release are modified. Recently seen a 4th version insert cover - same pressing plates for the vinyl. See also RESCUED which was a double set with one record the same as this and the other a copy of ROULETTE
