I wonder about that 'other' Ample destruction pic disc.
Ok,banzai is a boot,metalcore is legit,normal 'riders' cover is of course legit,tank cover is the 'original' pic disc',license to kill black vinyl is original,license to kill clear is bootlegged by the label (world patent),but that riders pic disc,i remember sold around 2000 with the cirith ungol-frost n fire and the savatage sirens pic disc bootlegs that also came with numbered sheets.so i assume its also a bootleg like these two,and also from south america.unless of course someone knows better?

Hi Kyr,

yes the JP is a bootleg. But not from South Amerca, it is coming from central Europe....

yes that 'central european' country also crossed my mind due to certain other bootlegs also around that time made, i think, with pure Alps milch und zucker
thanks Peter

Ther are other records with the same "Rockers" imprint.

Re: Ample Destruction, there's also a 1-sided 'promo picture disc' allegedly made back in the day by the label. A collector in Florida used to own one that he said he bought directly from Dave in the mid-late 80s. Richards took some of the legit License to Kill black vinyl copies and pasted the riders artwork onto one side, so 1 side looks like a pic disc and the other side looks like a regular black vinyl copy of License to Kill. The art is slightly different from the riders bootleg pic disc b/c it doesn't have lettering in white at the bottom, and the artwork wasn't cropped to fill the round disc perfectly, so you have part of the black stripes at the top and bottom. I have seen one of these in person, so it is real and not just a myth. My description may be slightly inaccurate; it's been awhile since I saw it. An odd variant to be sure. If I can dredge up a picture of it I'll post it.

Like the VIPER picture- that's a cool record, and I've never seen it with the older band logo on the cover
