The less interesting items were test pressings of "Mark of the Mole" and "Third Reich and Roll" ($25 each). There was also a red marble vinyl copy of "Third Reich and Roll" for $120. What really caught my eye was a copy of "Meet the Residents" with the "Meet the Beatles" cover. It was dated 1974 and said that it was one of the 1000 copy limited edition pressings. The price was $120 (negotiable). Now, I was under the impression that this cover never existed. Is this really an original pressing of "Meet the Residents"? How can I tell? I'd kind of like to have this item for my collection, but I don't want to end up with a bootleg of an album I already have just for the cover. David
