Picked up this vinyl in Chicago. i have never even heard of it before. Is it rare or something? What's the deal? must not be too rare cuz I picked it up for like $10.

There is an original and a bootleg. The original is rare, the bootleg is cheap. The originial has a color picture on the record label. The bootleg's record label is white with writing.

Where in Chicago did you pick it up?

The difference between the real thing and the bootleg is the color of the vinyl it is printed on. The real meal deal is printed on red vinyl and the bootleg is on black. The bootleg comes in a picture sleeve or a plain white sleeve.

The originals used to sell on ebay for about 300-500 bucks. I wasn't fortunate enough to get my hands on an original so I had to settle for a bootleg.

Nope, the original was pressed on both black and red wax. I was talking about looking at the record label not the color of the wax itself.

The links that jimmyjrg posted are where its at. Go to number 3.
