Modern Label - Blue Labels - Bootlegs?

[Premium Stuff]

Hi everyone

I have seen a couple of blue (turquoise) coloured labelled 45s on the Modern label priced at around 40 or 50 quid lately.

Jackie Day - Before It's Too Late and Vernon Garrett - If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time are two of them.

I thought these blue labelled releases were bootlegs and the originals were on red labels?

Can anyone confirm please?

Cheers

Richard

According to Brown and Koppel's book, those two are legal reissues.

Thanks for the info

Just checked the old Manship's Bootleg Guide and it too says 70s reissues, with the instrumentals on the flips - there were three - Jackie Day, Mary Love and Vernon Garrett.

Also says, quite rare and sought after.

There you go - always thought they were boots

Cheers

Richard
