Help With The Major?

[Northern Soul Uk]

How can you tell an original 'Okeh' copy of Major Lance - You don't want me no more?

Just bought one quite cheap and it has 'stamped' in the deadwax 'ZSP118541-1E'

'B' side is 'Wait til I get you in my arms'

Any advise would be muchly appreciated.

Thank you!

Large '45' on the label - ie the 45 is in larger font than the 'RPM'

Click here for re-issue (small 45) & bootleg

Click here for scan of original.

Original will have a large a white Okeh, (unless a white demo, in which case it is black) a large 45 RPM

and a Columbia pressing plant zsp matrix number stamped in the run out grooves.

That "E" gives the game away........later press.Even if the label has the big 45 tread carefully !!!!

Ok, thank you all for your time and effort.

It is a re-issue then by the looks of things, but not overly disappointed as I only paid £11.50 for it.and I'm sure I have seen even the bootleg fetch more.

Thanks again
