Yeah treacle.....there are some here that i'm sure know way more about it then me, but my brother is a collector of these and even some of the counterfeits are collectable....Lots of different pressings with different back covers and song lineups, different front covers with "George's shadow" visible or not..different labels that u can tell if its real or a fake...unbelievable.
Here is a pretty complete guide to all the different versions and ways to tell the counterfeits.

That is my understanding of this variation as well...I believe I've read it was for export market, Germany(?), early 70s.
I have a GYYYO version of this, with Mick Taylor autograph!

I have MFSL Sticky Fingers and Some Girls still sealed.
The most sought after album I have is IORR with incorrect labels. It has both as side A.
Misprint yes. One of a kind yes. Have I ever seen another NO.
There is nothing on one side only one side has grooves.

The cheapest I've seen it anywhere online is $580, but they're all from Japan and I suspect they may be fakes. For ones that seem legitimate, I've seen them for $800-$1300.

Why do you think that? I don't think the bootleg labels find it profitable to produce a copy of a box set as big as this one... but I don't know.
