TMOQ version 115 matrix
This 1971 release is most probably the first ever to have the 'Royal Albert
Hall' name on the jacket. Released by the Trade Mark Of Quality Label,
this LP is among the first ten releases from what would become the most
prolific vinyl bootleg company of all time.

TMQ versions
Notes:
Not only has TMOQ released this title several times, but they have
also pressed it from a couple different masters. As one set of masters
would wear out, another was created. TMQ drastically altered the
matrices of the various master stampers they produced, so it is possible
to track exactly which album resulted from which set of master plates.
This section follows the 115 matrix. This set of stampers would also later
be used for the 71017 and 1818 matrix releases. There were also releases
pressed from an entirely different set of stampers. The BD-105
plates.

Released in 1971, this is the original TMOQ package. It includes
a pastel colored or white cover that has a
logo sticker and a rubber stamp title, a colored insert
with the reference #RAH 115, and clear colored vinyl. The labels
are either a large 1/2 or the original pig
logo.

In 1973 TMOQ created a cartoon cover with
a die-cut center hole, and issued 18 or so of their titles as collector's
items in this numbered volumes series. The albums had a unique additional
reference number that generally matched the 'Issue volume number' for that
LP.

Also in 1973, right before the TMOQ-2 changeover, TMQ began using
the new 71000 matrix series. The new matrix assigned to RAH was 71017.

In 1980 TMQ reissued a series of albums that closely resembled the
original '70s pieces. This was one of those reissues. The 1980 version
was pressed from the original 115 plates, but the package is slightly different.
The cover has no sticker and '1966' has
been added to the rubber stamp title.
