Pat Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 What's the best way to tell an original, are all the ones with red text originals?
Pat Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Hi Pete Thanks for the info, so they don't all have letters/numbers under the label? Edited March 2, 2015 by Pat
Ben Owen Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 normally you can tell by the label having been worn with people trying to find the matrix stamped under the label
Mrtag Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) As Pete says the cream label with red writing are the original issues!! The paper feels like blotting paper!! the Demo's have white glossy paper and this was booted so you need to feel for the numbers/letters under the label on this one!! Edited March 2, 2015 by mrtag
Pete S Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Hi Pete Thanks for the info, so they don't all have letters/numbers under the label? Makes no difference - cream label, red lettering, original
Andrea Ko Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I've got one with a green label and black lettering... is it a boot?
Pete S Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I've got one with a green label and black lettering... is it a boot? Yes, from 1976 1
Soul16 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I bought the green boot and the cream label versions from the same box for about £1.50 each back in 1976, at the time I had no idea if either one was an original. All I can remember is that the cream one was supplied in a brown paper sleeve and appeared to be more authentic in appearance. The sound quality on the boot is exceptionally good, indistinguishable from the original to my ears.
Guest Waggy Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 The sound quality on the boot is exceptionally good, indistinguishable from the original to my ears. Hang onto your boot then and I will send you £1.50 for your cream one. Deal?
stokesoulboy Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Heard a tale of a American record store having the said green epitome boot on his wall at 400 dollars , one or two Brit collectors told him it's a boot but he won't believe it's not a real un , unsurprisingly it's still for sale !
Mal C Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Remember finding a boot of Eddie Foster nr Camden Market, clearly a boot, but the chap noticed I got all excited about it and eventually would not sell it to me, he thought it was an original, and no amount of friendly advice I gave him would change that... he probably still salivates over it, " it's my precious, mine, they're Wrong, they're all Wrong!!! it's mine I tell thee, MINE !!" the raised numbers under the label, must be the raised stamp you get on allot of Philly 45s, it's on other Sandbag releases such as Vito & the Salutations...

Soul16 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Cream label with red lettering is the original https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NORTHERN-SOUL-EPITOME-OF-SOUND-YOU-DONT-LOVE-ME-/191534350747?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2c9856419b It seems that nothing is sacred any more Pete. A fairly shoddy job, the seller makes it clear that it is not an original, but for some reason that picture makes me feel quite annoyed. £22 as I type, with five days to go... Madness.

Wiggyflat Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) He has written 158 on it just to confuse the novice even further.Why doesn't he write in the description.This is a seventies reissue with the green label removed and a copy of the original released label stuck in to replace it to make it look like the original sixties release.

Soul16 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Somewhere down the line, that particular record is going to be passed off as an original, that is for sure.

Down Under Soul Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Has anyone ever removed the label and had a good look at these braille marks?
