Popsike lists two copies having sold, one for $59 in 2009 and one for $214 in 2010. The one loaned to me for duplication is the only one I've ever seen.

I just went through my diamond discs and found an original copy of Black Bottom along with a few others that Don has already issued. My envelope that Black Bottom is in States I paid $300.00+ for the MINT copy that I have several years back from Toad Hall Books and Records. Of course that was the asking price and he always gave me a "bulk" discount since I always purchased all of his good diamond discs during my yearly trip to Union then to Rockford, IL and Toad Hall and all of the cool antique malls. I have just sent a list of all my Diamond Discs to Don to borrow and copy anything he wants so that no other collector would have to pay going market for an original copy.

Is it a black copy? Or something a little more interesting?

I bought my E condition copy for under a dollar in the ‘70’s.

The one remaining is black. Other colors are available with approximately two week lead time.
