Herbert Hunter- Vinyl/styrene ?

[Guest brickiesondecks]

Hi,, I just want to clear something up. I sold a copy of Herbert Hunter- I was born to love you, which I believed to be 100% original. It is stamped and has the molded on labels (not the stuck on labels associated with styrene). The buyer has since contacted me telling me that it is a styrene reissue ( with no reason other than having someone check it for him), I am still convinced its original and have checked the Manship guides and popsike.

Does anyone out there know something that I dont ??

Thanks

can't comment on vinyl or styrene but if it was stamped then it must be , never heard of a stamped repress

but if he returns it make sure it's the one you sent him , before giving a refund

Does he know the difference between vinyl and styrene?

If it's got the nashville matrix stamp, vinyl, it's original.

If it's styrene, it's a pressing, it'll have a delta number.

There's a second, vinyl pressing, but it's got Bill Pursell on the b side.

absolutely,, I know how it looks like the back of my hand. Im always very thorough and would never advertise anything under false pretences, this one has irked me

The copies had very poor graphics as well, feathery edges around all lettering, labels were bubbly on most i saw,

But as stated the stamping is the clue.

So do some of the copies.

Hang on. If he's saying it's styrene, and you;re saying it's vinyl. Have you got a photo of your copy? because he may be planning a switch.

_{Can somebody state, just for the record, the exact physical difference between vinyl and styrene ? (stamps aside)}

thats possible Pete, I do have a photo at home and the copy I sent is recognisable because the label is about 2mm off centre.

I dont have a photo with me at the moment but my copy looks like this-

Sounds like yours is a vinyl original.

Ask him to check the run out for the Nashville matrix stamp if it's there it's right if not maybe whoever checked it did the swop or as Pete says maybe he is planning to do the switch I have never known a matrix stamp fall off in the post yet!!!

That is the correct "B" side

The 1st one listed on Popsike is a boot, see what it went for
