Life - Tell Me Why

[Kev John]

I bought this record many years ago it's a white promo with mono labels both sides

JM says it's a boot/reissue ?

The info i'm giving is in the run out is as follows

Logo @ 12 o'clock read left to right,REP -1185 RPN - 0024 -S -1C F/W L

the f/w & L are @ 6 o'clock to the Logo

Flip reads

Logo @ 12 o'clock REP -1185 RPN - 0024 -1B F/W L these matrix marks read upside down

if Logo is at 12 o'clock

The F/W L marks are 12 o'clock

All the run out details are scribed in no stamped in marks

JM does not give any mention to matrix marks just vinyl and labels

I have played this record with a graphic equalizer and there is 2 different mixes on it ,vinyl is high quality no pin holes in vinyl

any info would be great Thanks Wigan Massive in the Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it's Mono / Mono, then it's a boot. It should be Stereo / Mono for Demo, or brown label for issue.

(Although your markings may suggest a real Mono / Stereo with wrong label on it)

I added a bit a few minutes after, saying that although it's labeled Mono both sides, you may have a real Mono / Stereo with wrong label on it. I haven't a demo to hand, but I do remember that the Mono and Stereo versions do sound different.

thanks for posting scans but if you look at my last post i'm asking for the matrix info in the run out of the boots

Soulghost, I think yours is a boot. Like mine. The matrix details off the boot which I have just looked at are

REP 1185 RPN - 0024 - 1B F/W L

and the B side is the same except it says 0024 - 1C instead of 1B
