This has been discussed in depth (almost!) on another thread from last year I think. Me and Pottsy think the Soultown release is a legit copy, mainly because of the stamp (thanks 45cellar) and the different cut of 'LCBM'.

As far as I know, the Soultown issue is a sound legit release. Agree with the points above by Slider.

Cheers,

Greg. :thumbup:

Yellow Soundville label has a raised H in the dead wax not a raised M as previously mentioned. The boot of the soundville is a exact replica but does'nt have the raised H.

Hope that helps.

Hi John, I bought a copy of this a few years back from a well known dealer in the states, when it arrived I was certain it was a boot, so I took it round to John Phillips to compare it with his copy as I knew he had an original, and as you say his copy had the number machine stamped in the runout and the copy I had bought had the number scratched into the runout. I returned the record and received a full refund.

Well, I bought the Soultown copy in the 70's, think it was 90p

To buy the Soundville Look-A-Like in the 70's I think was £1

the Soundville Look-A-Likes had a Full Label over a Tri-Center,

The Paper label would have needed to be sliced through with a sharp knife & plastic center & paper removed to make it Large center.

So I bought the Soultown copy &

I thought at the time that both were BOOTs 100%,

However, that stamp is Intriguing & apparently the same as The Sweets,

so the Soultown as a re-issue from Source, I would say is almost certain.

Yes Like a British Label with a Plastic Tri-center like this one under the labels.

Center.jpg

Both sides the center of the Look-A-Like Label could be removed with a Sharp Knife,

Plastic Tri-Center then flipped out

to make a Large Center Disc.

Not sure if all were like this though, but the few that I saw were for some reason.

A little bit like this, but not by using the sticker, Just a full label STUCK over eack side.
