- Black vinyl with b/w labels giving information on the tracks.
- There is no mention of the bootleg title on the labels.
- The record are titled "York Racecourse", rather.
- Track B5 is spelled wrongly "Gimmie Shelter".

NOTE:
A sort of pre-issue item has also surfaced in an online auction.
It came in a plain white "preliminary" sleeve and stated only the bootleg title,
see the picture here on the left (please click into the file for a larger view).
Since we do not have a picture of the actual vinyl, doubts remain whether
this was not just a cover got lost under circumstances uncleared ...
