    The following version of this bootleg also exists. It is on black or
    transparent cream vinyl) and has the following track list. (The cover
    credits the album to EC while the record label says The Rumour, and both
    omit the last track on each side).
    Quality: The very last track is of poor quality and sounds like it was
    copied from a 7" boot from the amount of surface noise. The other
    tracks are very good quality - Phil Dennison

Comments:

    EC studio demos with Flip City, Nov-75. This boot looks convincingly like
|   a legitimate Stiff promo LP. The LP cover is taken from an old Stiff black
|   & white flyer, with the same checkerboard 'Elvis Is King' background as
    MAIT. It has a front-face portrait of EC which has the following text in
    the corner:

       "HELP US HYPE ELVIS
       Today is your lucky day.  In your hands,  an unashamed  promotional
       scam  courtesy of Stiff Records.  We are trying to sell records and
       make Elvis a huge star.  He is trying to pay off his mortgage.  You
       have been recommended by .......... who was courteous enough to pay
       the postage.  We were  gracious  enough to pay the album costs.  El
       waived his  royalties.  So now we've done our bit  -  you do yours.
       Clamp your ears  around this disc.  If you like it spread the word.
       Play it.  Pollute the  metropolis.  If you don't like it,  remember
       that we know who you are and that we have your address. Our address
       is Stiff Records, 32 Alexander Street, London W2.
                                     All feedback not unwelcome."
