Bootleg with colour cover. Centre labels on this version are white (it was later issued with brown / tan labels).

Marketed as studio outtakes from 1967-1970, however all tracks are pirated from officially released tracks not on Pink Floyd LPs in the US, except "Scream Thy Last Scream" which is a genuine studio outtake.
