Guest stewmac Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 My copy has the 45rpm in small type & is machine stamped , flip is hurry sundown is it a boot ?
Pete S Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 No if it's purple stock copy it's a reissue, official, from 1974-ish. If it's a white demo on vinyl, then it may well be a boot.
Guest Dave Fleming Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 No it`s a early 70s legal reissue done by columbia,the 60sOrig have the big 45 on the label.

Chris L Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 What you also should know is that not all original copies have their matrix number stamped, the majority are scratched in. If you look patiently you should be able to pick up an original for about £35 - 45. Good luck.
Soulstu Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 One thing about Soul Source, which by the way is THE site for us soul fans, is that the number of records that I have that I thought were originals are bloody boots! Including my white demo of IDWTDI. These were all bought from record stores in the 70s as imports, so like an idiot I thought they were legit. My heart sinks every time I see a post that asks if a record is a boot or not - cos what inevitably happens is...... yep there goes another one from £150 to a fiver! I think my northern collection is worth about a tenth of what I thought it was once I joined. Hang on to that lovely purple label even if it is second issue - I wish I had one, at least it's real.
Guest Soultown andy Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Not forgettin dutch epic or british Columbia,both very affordable and the Columbia demo far more desireable .
Only Dreaming Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Hurry Sundown is my favourite L Richard track Dave
Chris L Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Does anyone have a 100% original white US Okeh demo ?

45cellar Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Another Soul Bowl purchase. I originally bought it for "I DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS IT" but love both now. "HURRY SUNDOWN" is a beautiful track

Well, except for the sticker removal scuffs. Got four test presses off someone and he had to have gone and put stickers on every one saying what the track was. I think there was even a euro-sized circle with a capital A in it to show which were the A sides! Got two Little Richard's, a Five Du-Tones and a Jimmy Robins "Can't please you" - all with the same bloomin' stickers on. They came off all right, but at a cost to the labels underneath!

Guest Mellorful Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 There may be one for sale on ebay for $80 (about £50) but the postage is $50, a few more $ and you could fly there and pick it up in person. I asked the seller whether the record is styrene or vinyl to remove any doubt about its legitimacy.

Guest Dave Fleming Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Looks like it will stay in the US with $50 postage to the Uk....

If it's any comfort I sold my IDWTDI on Ebay, listed a 1970s boot and I think I got about £25.00 for it.

I think it's better to know the truth, then you can learn from it, and maybe find an original of it sometime. Edited April 28, 2015 by Guest
