Holy moly.... I've stirred up a hornets nestI went to bed feeling really depressed - I have always thought of this as a genuine copy - maybe not the reported first batch from Bill Butt but a genuine copy non the less. Feeling slightly better this morning after seeing Lens comments.
Anyway after careful thought I have decided to remove this from sale until we can qualify its originality. I do not want to be accused of selling anything that isn't genuine and it will distract from my other sales which definitely are the real thing. I am gong on a hunt for the original correspondence I had with the seller back in the 90's as I met up with them to exchange money and the tape.
Here's what I'm thinking - maybe there was another batch made from the original master a couple of years later by the production company?
I would be happy to meet with anybody who lives in the South to review and discuss. Where abouts do you live Andy?

Hi Tom
The tech to create that cover (domestically) did not exist in 1991, that's
all I'm saying. I worked for Scott from '90 to '92 and I don't recognise
that cover. The pics in my link are the ones that came from Bill Butt.
What does the tape label look like?
