Notes: Oh I like this boot! This is THE boot! For me it’s simply the most beauty boots (or one of the most…).

A very good gig and sound, old, and a colour edition that is an unique collection! Hard to say what was the first pressing, but we can say that the black plain white label was 1° press, soon after coming the colour edition, and probably later the black’s repress, but it’s nothing sure! Originally the cover was “red” (the clear part of the cover, like James arms or the floor of the stage, tend to red) and the later press have a “green” cover (the clear part of the cover, like James arms or the floor of the stage, tend to green). Some of the “red” covers, for the colour edition, have a sticker on front. For the price: a black edition with plain white label it’s not so hard to find, also for 45/50 euro; a black edition with labels (plain red or brown, or black Indians label, or west front DH 015) it’s more hard to find, around 60/80 euro; the colour edition are very limited, and some colour are absolutely hard to find: you can pay 120/130 for a red muya or green muya, 200-250 euro for a clear, white, yellow or red multicolour, and more than 250 euro for the clear, blue or white multicolour (that for me are the more hard to find). The blue one it’s probably the rarest colour…
