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!

click on too enlarge but still not the best scan

I didn't think the issue had been booted.

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.

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.

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?! :-)

Knew I'd be wrong haven't got a guide now so done from a failing memory.

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

I'm 99.9% certain yours is original

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

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

still not a great scan though...will post matrix info tonite

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.

matrix info....k-10036-2(scratched)...opposite that a tiny mark which lookslike a stamp.. too straight to be a scratch

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

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

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
