Does anybody else have the 2CD comp Hawthorne, CA?
I got a copy for Christmas, and there's no booklet, and the CDs themselves have very generic graphics.
I suspect it might be a bootleg.

I can't say for sure whether any different legit pressings had different booklets, but I bought it when it was new, in 2001 or so, and indeed the original has quite a nice 16-page (counting covers) booklet, full color, with liner notes for each track by Alan Boyd and technical notes at the end by Mark Linett.
Doesn't mean their absence is necessarily a boot, though. For example, I recall buying cassettes and CDs via the old music clubs, and they sometimes lacked the full packaging that in-store versions had. So maybe more recent pressings for Amazon or something just didn't go all-out?

Looking at my Hawthorne cd that I bought brand new in 2001 or 2. It has a nice hefty booklet, and as far as the graphics on the discs are concerned, CD 1 has a bold title on the lower half in purple, and to the right of that, each letter of "THE BEACH BOYS" in colored circles alternating between purple and yellow. Disc 2 has the same, only the circles alternate between purple and teal.
