Stefan Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Hi All, Someone can say me the difference between reissue and original because the label seems to be the same . LUJON 101 Maybe in the matrix number ... Thanks. Edited May 7, 2010 by Stefan Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Easist way to tell is the reissue has a smaller than normal label and "rounded" edge. The og has a flat edge and normal size label. Just get a green one, don't think that's been reissued.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

( No round edge ) Yes the green issue is surely the best find Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Cover-up Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Who decided the yellow labels are boots? Thought they were all originals, just some have green labels, some have yellow? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dean Rudland Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Who decided the yellow labels are boots? Thought they were all originals, just some have green labels, some have yellow? I'm with you on this. Over on the funk board no one ever came up with any proof that this was a boot. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Who said all the yellow copies are boots? Missed it. BTW, it's not styrene, just a flatter vinyl. The boot is really pronounced on the edges... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

But when was it supposedly booted? It's a common-ish "hit" record which has always been around. I presumed it was just pressed a few times on its original release, hence different colour labels... don't remember a pressing ever appearing. Is this recent?

There was talk that the large numbers that turned up in the early 90s represented a boot. The thing was that no one really proved it, I for one would love to see some evidence. The other great rumour on this record was when a funk collector decided that the drumming sounded as if it was James Black and therefore decided that it was an Eddie Bo production. Eddie was asked and agreed and suddenly this Johnny Otis owned Los Angeles record became an NO Eddie Bo production. So much so that Aaron Fuch's continues to bootleg it as an Eddie Bo production to this day. Odd! Edited May 12, 2010 by Dean Rudland Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The vinyl ones with a much smaller label that the likes of Fat City were knocking out at a fiver a piece three years or so ago. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Modernsoulsucks Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 No idea about a later boot but turned up loads of copies in early to mid 90's {300-400 perhaps] on yellow label. All from garage belonging to Delores who had a shop in Cleveland. There were hundreds and hundreds and you were actually walking on them and other 45s up to 2ft deep. Only stopped stocking up when it stopped selling. ROD Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I guess the ones that were being discussed on the funk site were the ones that Rod's mentioning above. The funk board discussion stretches back a few years.

Weego Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hello everyone! I bought a few years ago a copy sold as an original with the same matrix numbers: - side a: LU-101-1 X-2980 - side b: LU-101-2 X-2981 with the "IC" initials. I feel relaxed now because I was wondering the same question since a long time! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Dearboy Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The other way to tell is the track time on the left of the label.2:32 = original 1973 copy2:05 = 2007 bootleg Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
