Almost certainly from Taiwan, not China. Maybe Korea.

Worth around $3 w/cover, 50 cents without.

Looks Taiwan.

Here is a story about these I heard recently. US Service men would go into the local barber shop, tell the guy there what record he wants, come back the next day and they would have it. In other words, if you asked for Deep Purple, they would go and press up a copy and have it for you the next day. Not sure I believe that.

Out here people are starting to pick these up for the cheese factor. What adds value is misspellings. Your example has Kentucky instead of Kentucky Woman, which is not enough of a mistake to add value. They covers tend to be copies of the US versions, but with new type setting, another chance for misspellings. The vinyl is often colored.

I don't. If you know how a record press works, it makes no sense. More likely they just went to a warehouse or store and got one.

I was in Taiwan in the mid 70's and cheap knockoff Lps were everywhere. They were about 25 cents at the exchange rate back then.

I clicked on this thinking it was a new shoe thread.

Yes, these usually came in those weird "open on three sides" sleeves with the whole thing wrapped in plastic (inside sleeve and out).
Have seen a few dozen random copies of random albums over the years with the same label.
Not worth much $.

I have a Dave Brubeck LP with the same label (CSJ-329).
They're supposedly from South Korea

Edit: Some website is selling one and claiming Japan

Ok. Here's the long version. My lp label doesn't say dave Brubeck anywhere, it's just Asian symbols. And the lp is usually called Dave Brubeck volume 2 or gone with the wind.

So I ran some likely words through a translator to compare the 'words' to Japanese and Korean. The Korean translation bared no resemblance, whereas I actually got a whopping 1 identical 'symbol' from the Japanese translation.

So I'm gonna say it's Japanese.

Edit: Used a Thai translator just because some Ppl said Taiwan-- and the symbols bared little resemblance, a very different 'style' of characters. So Japan still gets my vote

Label from Taiwan of doubtful legality. The label catered to US soldiers stationed in Taiwan in the 60's and 70s. Covers were often photocopied from Japanese or US issues with altered colours. Many releases are on coloured vinyl.

The full color photocopy machine was common in Taiwan in the 60's so this makes perfect sense.

Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

Only if you have the cover.

In addition to a Southeast Asian bootleg of A-Tom-ic Jones where some seriously wasted color separation has left the cover subject looking like a tuxedoed Oscar statuette that's made entirely of peanut butter taffy and howling in open-mawed anguish while unleashing the fart to end all worlds, I have a few of the similarly situated Student Sound compilations of popular favorites, which go the extra mile by helpfully--if bafflingly--printing the lyrics on the back, in transcriptions that approach cubism. Jr. Walker's "How can I make / this dream come true for me?", for example, becomes "How can I beg / you change your shoes for me?"

One of my relatives has a Korean green-vinyl Tony Bennett I Left My Heart In Wherever The Fuck that looks like it was printed on a belt sander, and that he's convinced he's gonna retire off of. Oy vey.

Human nature of doubtful sincerity. The poaster catered to random bursts of exaggerated saucacity. Posts were often photocopied from Japanese shoelace ads run through a taco.
