what is the difference between the original LP released in 78 and the Greek bootleg LP?

I've only seen pictures of the Greek bootleg and it looked more glossy than the original (you just won't see the original in this condition). I also think the insert differs in shape and color. The original insert is slightly smaller than the A4 format and the text has a brownish color. I guess looking at the label and matrix would be best, but then you need both in front of you.

How much do originals go for?

I paid like $50 for it some six/seven years ago... But I think that is less than it is worth now, or?

original has a matrix of numbers and letters. Bootleg matrix is "Heavy Load" so it is easy to spot the bootleg.

Though it is a really rare album, you always see at least one copy in the Stockholm record shops, since every record dealer in the country knows it's a rarity and always keep an eye out for it. Over here it usually goes for between 70-120 euros depending on shape.

Most likely. I've never seen the bootleg over here. 600 kr = pretty good price. Hope it has the insert. About every 2nd copy I've seen came without one.
