Mel Williams..boot V Original

[SHEFFSOUL]

how to tell the difference..assume only the promo was booted..

[Quinvy]

Yes, just the white demo was booted. It's a very good repro too. The best way to tell is to look at the dead wax, which is wider on the boot. Also the matrix no. is very lightly scratched in. It is much more defined on the original and very neat.

yes ..see what you mean..(owner sent in original pics of deadwax)...must be one of the harder boots to identify..

Following a recent thread It was suggested that I post scans of some of the Original Matrix Stamps for certain records.

This is one that is requested on a regular basis. >>> LINK <<<

Can It Be Me - Mel Williams - Modern

The Stock Copy & White DEMO have Identical Matrix Details.

The deadwax on both DEMO & Stock Copy is ONLY about 7mm - On original copies

Matrix scratched in "MM-1023-1"

( The matrix is small, about 2mm tall and situated between run off groove and playing area -

as soon as it was possible to fit it in - almost touching groove above and below it)

Run off groove in the deadwax spirals to centre quite quickly within one turn of disc - 270 degees

Almost ALL of the DEMO copies have black marker pen through the Promotional Copy - Not For Sale, Area.

(Even the Counterfeit Copies tried to copy this)

I hope that this helps

I will try to keep Information as clear and as accurate as possible.
