Spacehopper Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 got this for sale not played it for years but wanna be sure...manships book has styrene boot promos but no pics of issues, apparently should have stamped r on both dead wax,i can see very faint possible stamp on a side but not an r.. any other differences to look for ?....dont wanna catch someone else out even if i have been!
Spacehopper Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 click on too enlarge but still not the best scan
Spacehopper Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 i didnt either as the manship guide had no pic of a boot but it has got the desciption NOR in bold which does mean it been done..not very clear..printing error?
Tony A Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 i didnt either as the manship guide had no pic of a boot but it has got the desciption NOR in bold which does mean it been done..not very clear..printing error? Thought the NOR in Manships guide was to describe Northern track, Could be wrong, I normally am. 1
Pete S Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Thought the NOR in Manships guide was to describe Northern track, Could be wrong, I normally am. It is, but when it's in bold type, it means it's been booted. Now, I remember there being a yellow label and a white label boot of this. Not a red one though. 1
Spacehopper Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 thats what i thought pete both yellow and white are down as promo boots in the book and a previous thread on here....but as i said the book also has the issue down as booted in bold type and both originals as having a stamped r on both sides?..john m where are you?! :-)
Tony A Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 It is, but when it's in bold type, it means it's been booted. Now, I remember there being a yellow label and a white label boot of this. Not a red one though. Knew I'd be wrong haven't got a guide now so done from a failing memory.
Spacehopper Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 thought id get more help with this on here?...3 scans of red issues on popsike and all 3 are different AND different to mine!...need scan od definate boot...if there is one
Spacehopper Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 me too pete..wish i wasnt so honest sometimes though...had a buyer for it and told him to hold payment till id checked it out for sure and now he doesnt want it as it would niggle him too if there was any doubt at all
Guest turntableterra Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 put up a clear scan of the label and the matrix/ runout. it looks like a proper one which i have, put up and ill compare. great record by the way. had mine 20 years,a hard one
Pete S Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 put up a clear scan of the label and the matrix/ runout. it looks like a proper one which i have, put up and ill compare. great record by the way. had mine 20 years,a hard one Click on his scan at the top and it opens up into a massive photo
Spacehopper Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 still not a great scan though...will post matrix info tonite
Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I had a red stocker many moons ago, albeit it had larger print, as most of them seem to have...but...I've also had WDs with the smaller print like your copy. The pic of your copy looks legit to me...two deletion holes is odd mind. Super Northern Soul.
Spacehopper Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 matrix info....k-10036-2(scratched)...opposite that a tiny mark which lookslike a stamp.. too straight to be a scratch
Guest turntableterra Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I Have had a look at my copy, it has the matrix you say and a capital R almost directly opposite, if yours has its a proper one, but even by what you show in the image i would say yes, and in that condition 40 plus, it is a hard record to find............ well prior to ebay it was now any neuvous dejay can get one
Spacehopper Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 cheers..like i said the mark opposite isnt an r but could be a very faint stamp and has marks where it should be a capitol r..ive had monarch stamps that are so faint you can only just make them out...think ill keep hold of it now anyway many thanx for all replies
Guest eddiep Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 matrix info....k-10036-2(scratched)...opposite that a tiny mark which lookslike a stamp.. too straight to be a scratch Is this the right Matrix number?? I have a white promo with K-10036-1 scratched in the "Bring Him Back" side and K-10032-1 scratched in the flip side. Both have a R stamped on the opposite side in the run out. Is mine a boot? I've only just bought this back off a mate after about 8 years and before that I had it for about 5 years! I've had the yellow boot in the past but it's obvious it's a boot. The label was very thin paper and not stuck on correctly, full of bubbles and actually looked "cheap". Print was pretty dire too! My one (above in scan) looks real to me or am I wrong? Don't have JM's book so do know the info regarding this. Any help please.... Cheers, Eddie
