Rubin - You've Been Away

[AlanB]

Could someone tell me how you distinguish an original promo copy?

I watched this eBay sale near its conclusion today, and wondered whether someone got a bargain original, or overpaid for a reissue.

That looks like the second boot (the first being pressed on the RITA label).

This can be spotted at a glance as the Original has a Red 'A'.

Never been on Decca though, to my knowledge.

UK MCA legit 70's issue but never Decca.

It was actually also booted with a Red A at some point (if my memory serves me correctly) but I'm pretty sure, in any case, that the Black 'A' is a boot.

And judging by the fact the ebay item made a lot less then £250 I guess a lot of others do too!

Best,

Sean

Sorry Dave, just seen your amendment.

there's a boot with the red A w/ September Jones - I'm Coming Home on the flip.

Agreed.

The Black 'A' though is definitely a boot.

Thats definitely a boot! Buyer bought a pup im afraid.

The 1st 70s boot on RITA was credited to Rubin Parker.
