If my old memory serves me well Joe Valentine released the re issue (not bootleg) himself in the late 90's.

Bootleg or Legal reissue are just the same to an originals collector, neither are authentic!

I recall speaking with Pat Brady about this a couple of years ago but I can't remember the full story, other than Joe did apparently receive an appropriate amount for the re-issue run (not sure how many were pressed)...I'm sure Pat be happy to speak with anyone who wants to know more.

I have a near mint original with just a couple of light clicks at the start if anyone is interested then please PM me with a sensible offer (sorry I know this isn't sales forum but thought I'd mention it).

All the best, Steve
