Kegsy Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Incredibles There's Nothing Else To Say Audio Arts Green label. Just been given cause to question whether the copy I have is a boot. The song title is on one line, whereas other copies have the title across two lines in larger type. Is the format of the song title a definite reason for it to be a boot or not. If I look in John's book I would assume its a boot. There are no matrix marks listed in John's book for the green original. However I bought it in the States donkeys yonks ago and it has a drill/BB hole in the label. If its a boot its the first boot I've ever seen with a drill/BB hole. Anyone ever seen a boot with BB hole ? Just to confuse a little bit more the Blue label copy which was not booted has the title on one line not across 2. Are there East/West coast varients or any of the usual pressing plant issues that cause differences in releases. What do you people think ?

Pete S Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Kegsy, all you need to do (with the green one) is look at the label, if it's not completely smooth i.e. small rough patches, it's the boot. I've had boots with drill holes in, people put them in to make them look authentic Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I've had boots with drill holes in, people put them in to make them look authentic Do you mean all over the label as it looks smooth to me, are rough patches immediately obvious ?. If I look very closely around the centres hole there are a couple of very small patches but they are hardly obvious unless looking really closely for them.

Kegsy Yeah all over there are small patches where the label is rough, it's hard to explain Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Original... The boot is a slightly darker shade of green and as Pete say's, patchy label Edited November 18, 2013 by Soul-Slider Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

What about this one then, legit re-issue ? Edited November 18, 2013 by Chris L Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Another tell tale sign is that the 'window' box art on the label, on the boot it is slightly to the right of the center hole. On the original it sits perfectly in the middle. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

There's even more confusion now as the pale one has a prominent ring around the centre hole on the original. Mine has the ring. The boot pictured does not have evidence of this ring. Manship mentions the prominent ring on the original and lack of it on the boot. Kegsy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Kegsy, does the 'window' art on the label sit nice and perfect above the center of the hole on your copy? Edited November 18, 2013 by Soul-Slider Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Kegsy You can see the patches on the label in that photo though, especially top right. I'm sure the matrix details will differ as well though.

I have just checked several other Audio Arts records inc. duplicates of the same title and the window is not in the same place on any of them. Sometimes left or right and higher/lower in relation to the centre hole. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mine does not have any of that gubbins 98% of the label is perfect and flat except for a very small patch between the prominent ring and the centre hole.

Not 100% mate but if you look at all the images of the boots on this thread and look at the original copy you can see the differnce in the position. The original scan I posted is not my copy but I just pulled mine out of my box and it sits in the same position, dead center over the hole. Mine also has the prominent 'ring'.

Kegsy Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Original... incredibles.jpg The boot is a slightly darker shade of green and as Pete say's, patchy label Trouble is there are other Audio Arts releases that were never booted that use a slightly darker green too. Is there an original with the one line title and darker green label ?. If not why doesn't Manship just say all single line title ones are boots ?.

Sebastian Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 If the deadwax has got three turns and is 13,88 mm wide plus that the "7078 A" in the deadwax lacks the "bar" in the A and looks like an upside down "V" instead of an "A" then it is a BOOTLEG. If it deadwax has got four turns it is the ORIGINAL. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kegsy Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Found this 'Sharp End of the Vinyl' and some of Rogers' brilliant scans and info , maybe of some help Swifty Thanks for that I am now convinced mine is an original as it has none of the label bubbling or whatever it is and is the same as the one line title copy on the thread.

If it deadwax has got four turns it is the ORIGINAL. confused again now, as the deadwax on mine is 11mm and the same matrix as above. Difficult to tell if its three or four turn deadwax as the last 2 are very close together. Why would the two varients one/two line title have the same runout/deadwax characteristics since they would obviously be pressed at different plants ?. Is the four turn deadwad the two line title ? Whats the runout like on the white demo ? Whats the runout like on the original one line title ?. Whats the runout like on the original two line title ?

Difficult to tell if its three or four turn deadwax as the last 2 are very close together. Why would the two varients one/two line title have the same runout/deadwax characteristics since they would obviously be pressed at different plants ?. Ofcourse there are deadwax differences between the two-line/one-line issues. You wrote that you had the one-line green issue. Why would I answer your question with info regarding a different issue than the one you have? If your deadwax is 11mm and not 13,88mm then yours is an original. Does your copy really have an upside down looking "V" instead of a proper "A" in the deadwax? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The matrix on mine is as Sebastian has described. I got mine straight from the States with a few other originals donkeys years ago. As I said, I have had the darker green, crumbly label boot and compared it with mine, very different. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
