      50 cents at a WV yard sale
      near mint
      with t-shirt flier AND intact poster (which I had framed and mounted)
      Didn't even have to use my AK
      I gotta say it was a good day :)

          My copy has an interesting feature that I've been unable to find anything on how it would affect value. Maybe someone can help?

          One of the sides has an incorrect label. At the time I'm typing, I'm remembering off the top of my head, but: one side has a label for one side of Toys in the Attic instead of what belongs there. I'll have to check later when I'm able.

          So like I said, any thoughts?

            My copy of this has Side 1 and Side 4 on one LP, and Side 2 and Side 3 are on another LP

            LP One: Side One; Side Four
            LP Two: Side Two; Side Three

            Weird!

              I came across an album version with the searchlight label, but the print is a bit bolder than other labels of this type and, more importantly, “SIDE ONE” and underneath it “STEREO” are to the left of the spindle. “2T-541” and “(M-2-541-AS)”, are to the right of the spindle on Side A, with consecutive BS, CS and DS on each side. Can’t seem to find it in Discogs. Think it’s worth entering?

                I have this record, with T shirt order form and insert, but not poster or booklet. Everything looks exactly the same except my center labels are the same as the RCA Club Edition, however they don't have the same code written on them that the club edition has. Anyone have an idea?

                  pure coincidence that i added this one today to my collection - it was just now in the queue :-)

                    I've come across a copy (2T-541) that has different labels. These labels feature the "20th Century FOX Records" monolith and searchlights - same as the fanfare that opens the original film. I can't find another version of 2t_541 listed here on Discogs and the current eBay auctions I have checked all have the typical blue label. Anyone else seen this?

                      Hi, does this actually include the 16-page booklet? I know that "Empire strikes back" 2LP came with the booklet, maybe it's mixed up with this?
