How To Spot Origanal

[dthedrug]

Last weekend, I splashed out £10 on 5 45s:- Tommy James UK "somebody cares" M-, Ruben Bell "Leave my Kitten Alone" FUNK M-, Johnny Bragg Lebejay white label??? Sharon Ridley "To make a long thing short"(Van McCoy) and Joey Dee & Star-lighters "HOW CAN I FORGET" CANEIL VG. It was not until today that I gave them a spin, it was then I noticed that the Joey Dee was not the typical BOOT that I remember way back, when God's Dog was a pup!! JM guide to boots did not help as the info he has written definitely does not apply to this record, as I never owned one back in the 7ts I am hoping this is a proper one its on plastic not styrene, DAVE KIL

hi dave from what i can gather from Manship's 5th edition, original should be styrene with a deadwax matrix of 101-v on a yellow label

Yes I got that the copy is vinyl with the 101-v & 101- I X INST, I Can remember boots on styrene with heavy stamped lettering typical Simon Soussan Boots from 74 - 76, this has a grainy label on it, hence my interest in it?/cheers DAVE

Cheers for the scan it is different from mine as my copy has a 100 X & yours does not show the X? I think my copy should stay in my collection for the time as a original copy I have my US records in different collections? I have even got a bootleg collection? as in the early days that's the way they come if that makes sense! as today I would hardly ever buy a boot? DAVE
