Yavar, is it the Citadel LP of FREUD (issued in 1977, not that I expect you to know that) which you are calling a bootleg? That was producer Tony Thomas' label, which was stocked by at least a couple of Chicago retail stores at the time (and which I always took to be licensed). True, the FREUD album sported bargain-basement jacket design; but so did the initial Citadel expanded reissues of THE BLUE MAX and A PATCH OF BLUE in '76 and '78 respectively. However, a few years later that label eventually repressed those latter two Goldsmiths using the cover art from the original Mainstream editions -- another reason I believed the Citadels were legal and official.
I'm not arguing here, but if one of us only made an assumption about Citadel's FREUD album, I'm trusting you to tell me who.

Glad this thread came up for air, it reminded me that I haven't given the score a spin in some time.

I’ve heard from multiple people in the business that the majority of Tony Thomas’s LP issues (certainly including Freud) were not properly licensed from the studios, even if many of them were done with the composers’ approval.

Thanks, Yavar; I'll make sure never to discuss those LPs or that label on this site again!

I mean, plenty of people discuss them and I don’t think it’s a problem. I think that was more common and accepted practice at the time. But that doesn’t mean they were official licensed product.
