They`re neither official nor bootleg - merely "unofficial". The CDs
are regular EMI releases but everything else is produced by UFO Books.
The photos they used are all, as far as I know, by Gered Mankowitz or
other freelance photographers. The "Lioness at Heart" one is IMHO much
better produced than the latter one, which has a basically random
assortment of photos. I can't remember exactly what they went for when
they were released, something on the order of L20-25. Don't know how
easier they are to pick up now.
