Ian  i will give you a £5 and chance it🤣. I do remember that there's a west and east coast press of this and it was only booted on I think the east coast single shield variant.  

Single shield ?

 Mine is vinyl , btw

Manship's   6th edition doesn't mention a bootleg. I did find an "unofficial release" on discogs which added 20 + seconds to the "Village Of Tears" .

The parkway writing on the top of the label has a shield either side on the demo. Not sure about the issue as I never had one. Can't remember if it was vinyl or not though 

mine is same as the bottom photo, of the two above

The bottom one with the time as 2:43 is a boot. The font is a givaway. The top one real, with time at 2:22

Yep top one is real. The bottom one has too much time at 2.43. Also it looks wrong!! The yellow points of the "star" do not meet the edge! 

The bottom one appeared the same time as all those other bootlegs - Carol Anderson, Phillip Mitchell, etc, early 2000s

Anyone know who was responsible for them
