I never understood how that could be but assume it has to do with either a variation in the copyright laws or perhaps Def Jam just being like "eff it".
It could be bootleg, but both the Beastiemania site and Discogs list it as an official Def Jam release (though Mercury records). I don't actually own a copy of this mysterious reissue though, so I can't be sure!
