Notes: A massive rarity, highly sought after and a cornerstone of any Pink Floyd bootleg collection. This lp was pressed in by TMOQ in the U.S. and then exported to England for packaging and distribution by Freddy Stomper "The Marked Hand." The cover is rubber stamped and comes with a small pink insert that happily declares that the record is a bootleg and therefore no royalties will be paid to Pink Floyd or its management. The insert is dated 1972, which if accurate means that this double lp was pressed not long after Pink Floyd (Spread Legs Cover - Original), from which it was copied. The insert also lists the name of the album as "Embryo," which suggests that the "Embrwo" rubber stamp was the result of a typo. The matrix on side 3 is notable in that the "C" in "RECOrd" has been corrected from an "O" and the last two letters are not capitalized (as they are on the other three sides). This album is so incredibly rare that Kraska incorrectly listed it as a "test pressing" of Miracle Muffler and Take Linda Surfing. Some copies have been found with one red disc and one green disc, while other copies have two green discs. The piece shown here is a particularly unique copy with "swirled" green vinyl. This LP led to many reissues in the United States on different labels, including Cymbaline (TMOQ), Live (Dittolino), Hamburger (CBM), Live in Germany (CBM), Musichalle (CBM) and, as a pair of single LPs, Miracle Muffler (Wizardo) and Take Linda Surfin' (Wizardo).
