Classic Vinyl Bootleg Revisited: THE GREAT WHITE BOSS — Making a comparison of the various editions (Part 2 of 3)

Original Hangman (left) and later Blockhead (right) editions in my possession.
As previously shown (07/22/2017), the former consists of two semi-transparent
blue LPs (the Bottom Line part) and one opaque lilac 12" EP (three live tracks
from New York City '73 and Boston '77), all sides of which carry Hangman labels. 

The triple-record box edition of THE GREAT WHITE BOSS is the third vinyl release that bootlegs the radio-broadcasted live at the Bottom Line in the summer of 1975. The track configuration of the first two discs (Sides 1 to 4; the Bottom Line part) is the same as that of a preceding LIVE AT THE BOTTOM LINE 8/15/75 but differs from that of Coral Records' LIVE. Thus, I'm not so sure, but I guess that this bootleg is a copy of one of the two predecessor releases, although obvious edits include fade-in/out and removing snippets of disk jockey's talks on some tracks.

Vinyl bootleg copies of the legendary Bottom Line concert had been more common and readily
available under this title than any other, such as the infamous LIVE on Coral Records. Here,
four copies are compared, two each from the triple-vinyl box (above) and double LP set (below).

The title was presumably named after GREAT WHITE WONDER, the first documented vinyl bootleg of the rock era released in 1969. Maybe, this one is not an essential vinyl bootleg. It is neither the first nor definitive release among those that capture the legendary Bottom Line live broadcasting in New York City, August 1975 (see 08/11/2016 and 08/15/2016). However, the album title THE GREAT WHITE BOSS probably represents one of the most familiar among hundreds of live Brucelegs in the vinyl age, along with the landmark releases like PIÈCE DE RÉSISTANCE or LIVE IN THE PROMISED LAND. That is probably because, compared with its predecessors (i.e., LIVE on Coral Records and LIVE AT THE BOTTOM LINE 8/15/75), this version has been widely circulated as several variants that differ in disc number, labels, cover art, etc. So, I had long considered adding it to the blog's classic vinyl bootleg category.
