Not much then eh ?

It's hard to say. Less than a month ago , a copy with no cover in vg+ / vg++ went for $59.

Hi All  I have a clear yellow vinyl copy of the EP. Pete Smith once told me it was a BOOTLEG, personally & with great respect to Pete & his knowledge To my eye this 100% proper matrix # identical, & quality sound, not mentioned by JM, as a Boot, saying this BOOT or Proper it's well worth getting if you see the yellow copy as it looks better? & if some people say it's a Boot enough times we all get the best looking disc half price or less, "you pays your money & takes your pick", can post picture of my Copy  if it helps, KTF Dave K

Be very surprised if it was a boot, "Champion" got released quite early on UK London.

I have the same yellow version , sold in the past but was returned as buyer said he was told it was a boot several weeks after

Hi When you look at it I have never seen so much attention making a bootleg in my life, plus HI Records was as you say covered in the UK by LONDON Records, If you also consider the fact  it's on Yellow vinyl & if a boot there was a world oil crisis at the time,  Boot or not & I say not, I need a lot more info than some verbal all be it fro m Pete, KTF

The yellow ones were always considered boots when I was a pup - the labels certainly look like boots.
