bafflingly obscure LP

rare/weird vinyl filter: I have an LP that, as far as I can tell, has stumped Google itself. Help!
I have the self titled debut lp by May Blitz (fairly rocking British power trio from circa 1970). It's on Vertigo (UK label), but it's a totally weird South Korean pressing: 846 334-1/RP 2235. The label says it's Registered No. 3, Ministry of Culture. What the HELL? Anyone?

Quite possibly a bootleg, in which case most reputable collector directories won't list it. That's not to say it isn't valuable though.

there's a mention here and here, maybe ask the posters of thes messages for details about the origin of the pressing ?

Gemm has three vinyl pressings by May Blitz listed. Holy crap, I hope it's one of these, as each is in the $100+ range. FYI, GEMM is the holy grail of rare music on rare media, in my opinion. I have found amazing things there.

I'll assume you've checked AMG; if not, I'd take a look there.
