VA - The A&M Bootleg Album [1971]

“The A&M Bootleg Album” is a unique compilation that was released in 1971 by A&M Records. This album stands out for its eclectic mix of music, offering a diverse range of genres primarily focusing on Rock and Pop. The album is a treasure trove of non-LP tracks, making it a special treat for music enthusiasts. The album was issued as a promotional-only compilation, adding to its exclusivity.
