Supposedly. But this one was was in the album bins at Big K, Somerset, Kentucky, summer 1975. It could have been a fake, though. I must admit I never examined it to see if the Soul Train ad on the back was blurry.

IIRC there were 2 versions of John Lennon's "Roots" (AKA "Rock-n-Roll").  The one sold on TV either had 2 more, or 2 less tracks than the version sold in stores.

Not that rare but I bought a copy of Rusty Warrens' Knockers Up at a local Salvation Army store.

I still chuckle about that.
