Can anyone comment on the above i.e Genuine or bootleg ?

I know he did release other stuff on this label, but this one doesn't appear in the discographies I have seen.

Thanks

[Soul-slider]

I bet he's talking about 'Liberty Bell'....

am I right?

[Soul-slider]

...good timing!!!!

Anyway Steve, BOOT...but a good one (if there's such a thing as a good boot!!!)

[Ernie Andrews]

Yes a boot. - Heavy Vinyl like the Connie Clark on Joker (Black label copy) etc etc cannot remeber exactly when they were done but probably around 75/76 Pete Smith will be able to confirm!

Still love the record though and have played it out once in a while! Wouldnt mind a nice Sassy white demo!

Good looking, I mean that Liberty Bell label is quite tasty , also good quality sound and heavy vinyl like ERNIE say's! Not too easy to get either. Record had you fooled anyway...

[Premium Stuff]

Gwen Owens - Just Say You're Wanted (And Needed) on Velgo would be a good boot

Cheers

Hi Steve, If it's black label Liberty Bell with silver writing it's an early 7o's boot (late 60's) I had one of these in a sales box when you took the white Sassy demo!! Best wishes John.

These were actually the first bootlegs of Frank Beverly, from late 1973 I think, about the time of "Ten Miles High" etc..

(A "good boot" is one to be given up the backside to the likes of Simon Soussan & Co.!)

unfortunately, simon soussan was THERE when the states were an aladdin's cave, the kid in the proverbial sweet shop who struck on the idea of making even more sweets quite illigitimately!, however he was responsible for bringing many great tunes to the wider attention of the public...and yes the quality of some of the boots were very good ( that includes the chunky vinyl he used...NEVER STYRENE and the sound quality) afterall, he had the pick of the recording studios.

with reference to liberty bell, it must have been a natural choice as the label really exists and the butlers recorded " she tried to kiss me" on the label....an absolute torch stormer!

I'd say a good boot is when the OG is styrene with bad sound quality and the boot is vinyl with great sound quality!

In this case the OG of F. Beverly sounds killer so I could care less about the boot.
