paultp Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Hi, As it says in the title is this an original or something else? If it is something else what is it? Thanks
pikeys dog Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Looks like a 70s Vinyl bootleg. Originals are Styrene.
Foi Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) If i remember rightly, Okeh "styrene" originals can either have the ZTSC matrix machine stamped or scratched in as it depended on the pressing plant ( regions in USA differed) as long as it has the large 45 then its an original. However, with "vinyl" copies, originals have to have the large 45 and most importantly be definitely machine stamped...to my knowledge I dont think any Okeh "vinyl" originals have scratched in matrixes due to the plates that were used at the pressing plant (maybe Chicago as opposed to the major plant in L.A.??). Therefore most Okeh "vinyl" (not styrene) white demos with scratched in matrixes and big 45s are deemed to be boots.....might be wrong afterall, only been in the collecting game for 37 years or so?! Hope this helps clarify a little more...?! Edited November 10, 2014 by foi
