Hepcat

Buju Banton/Hepcat - Mighty Dread b/w The Region Split 12"

Epitaph EPIT 21039-1DJ, released 2000

This was a weird split European (UK?) 12". It is a promo, but it has the look of a test pressing...or a bootleg. Is this legit? I'm not totally convinced. I have seen copies on which the titles are handwritten in pen on the labels, and others on which typed labels were affixed to the blank white labels. It didn't really fit any of the Epitaph numbering conventions. I feel like it's too common to be an official release. Then again, Epitaph Europe always seemed to kind of do its own thing. Not terribly hard to find, but it usually appears more in European stores. This may be the only piece of Hepcat vinyl that has not gotten expensive. The Hepcat track is the version found on the Push 'N Shove album. Black vinyl.
