Notes: Classic bootleg from 1973 released on the Dittolino label.

Version 1: Very rare version housed in a plain white sleeve with a violet-colored rubber stamp: "PINK FLOYD - LIVE" "2 record set". BEWARE of fake versions of this sleeve with a heavy blue stamp that says "2 records set" (plural). All of the fake covers have come from the same seller in Italy over the past few years. The fakes are easily distinguishable from the originals due to the grammar error (plural "records") and the heaviness of the fake stamp.

Version 2: This version comes with a Dittolino insert that is typically blue, green, or black & white. On some inserts the logo on the left is cropped and more of the image is visible on the right side or the insert. Like Version 1, these copies may come with Dittolino labels or simple 1/2/3/4 labels. Note that the Dittolino labels are the same as the 1/2/3/4 labels with the words "Dittolino Discs" simply added around the center numbers.

Version 3: Massively rare version on colored vinyl. Two color variations are known. The first is clear and/or white with black splatters. The second is red vinyl with black splatters. The clear/white versions have blank labels on the first record and Smoking Pig (TMOQ) labels on the second record. These lps have a different matrix (2804) which indicates they were pressed from the same plates as Cymbaline (TMOQ). Interestingly, the Miles book reflects some of the confusion between these two titles, indicating that Live (Dittolino) is the same as Cymbaline which, other than the colored vinyl version, it's not. Miles also lists two versions of Cymbaline - one that has the song listing found on Cymbaline (TMOQ) and one that has the same song listing as Live (Dittolino).

Version 4: Very rare version on black vinyl with a different insert, often referred to as the "Escher" insert (for obvious reasons).
