Here is the Discogs release page.

It's not currently listed as unofficial. You can see in the pictures that Lithium is not listed on the back cover or on the record label. It has the same Simply Vinyl stamped PVC sleeve and silver label.
Here is the normal release page.

Apparently the only difference between the two, other than one missing Lithium, is the matrix on Side A. One is SVLP 0038 A-2-1- (with Lithium) and the other is SVLP 0038 A-1-1- (without Lithium). I contacted two of the sellers to confirm they actually had this copy. "nextcake" confirmed that their version did have Lithium, so they have it listed on the wrong release page. However, "Prunus" confirmed that they are selling the 11-track version.
If this is a bootleg, I wouldn't care for it, but if it is official, I think it would be neat to own, as it would be a truly odd release. What would you look for to confirm it is unofficial or not? The matrix of the two almost makes it seem like they re-released it after adding Lithium back on, so perhaps it was a mistake on their part?
