Was the marble pressing a radio promo?

The green vinyl was machine numbered and there is one on eBay right no numbered 5,000 something. Not very limited...

I'd say those are definitely radio promos.

What do you mean by machine numbered? In the matrix or something? I'm not home to look at mine.

And there's a blank label version? I'd like to see pics of that...

I know exactly what you are talking about. But that is not the case with these, they are legitimate.

how do you tell?

Generally speaking, because I've been collecting records my whole life. I'm not saying I've never been fooled by a bootleg but there's usually plenty of signs. Experience goes a long way.

In this specific case, there's plenty of signs. It came out before or at the same time as the regular release. There wouldn't be any reason to bootleg the album at that point. Plenty of the copies went to actual radio stations, based on the people selling them back then. And if you compare it to other Reprise releases around that time, there's no signs of it being a bootleg. I don't think Reprise ever completely dropped vinyl. Basically, there's no indication that it's a bootleg whatsoever.
