Grahalex Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I have a copy of Pointer Sisters - Send Him Back on Atlantic, I guessing it isn't original, but could someone confirm please. It has A-23115- 2 scrated in the run out groove on A side.
Frankie Crocker Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Been a recent thread on this record which may help. All issues are worth close scrutiny as they are tricky to distinguish from the bootlegs. According to Manship Volume 5, you have an original so the matrix number should be deeply etched in with other markings in the run-out ie AT, S with reversed C and R in the curves. Hope this helps.
Northern Soul Uk Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Also i believe that the colours on the label are wishy washy on the boots as opposed to being solid on the orig.
Pete S Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 That looks like the boot to me, look at the brown colour on the label, should be way darker, black almost 1
Chris L Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Must have AT in run out, looking at yours couldn't see it, best check.
Dave Pinch Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 a lot of the boots have dimples in the vinyl..a bit like yum yums and eddie regan on abc paramount
Grahalex Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Mine doesn't have AT in the run out groove and the matrix number is scratched in rather than stamped.
dthedrug Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 HI ALL There is a bootleg copy of this classic also the ATLANTIC brown & red copy, which is in keeping with mid 7ts Atlantic pressings, the 1st copy is easy to identify just looking at the label it's black & red with matrix AT plus all the above info, the brown & red copy is a puzzle to get proper info on unlike the ABC counterfeits, I reckon there is some proper connection with ATLANTIC even if it's a dodgy one?..
Dave Pinch Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Mine doesn't have AT in the run out groove and the matrix number is scratched in rather than stamped. defo looks like the bootleg from here..80% of copies you see are counterfeit..the orig demo is more common than orig issue ..thats been counterfeited too 1
Pete S Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 defo looks like the bootleg from here..80% of copies you see are counterfeit..the orig demo is more common than orig issue ..thats been counterfeited too Counterfeit demo is the wrong colour though Dave
Kev John Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Orig has reversed S with C & R within the curves of the S matrix stamped in the run out atb Kev Edited April 6, 2015 by Kev John
dthedrug Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 HI ALL ..."please operator" was put out as some sort of reissue I think? so I think the pointer sisters has a connection somehow, as I do with the small print "crazy baby", the snide one like the HESITATIONS & JERRY COOK SOUL TWINS, ALEXANDER PATTON LOOK GOOD BUT EASY TO SPOT,... ANY WAY MY COPY IS OK! SOUNDS GOOD,
Dave Pinch Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Counterfeit demo is the wrong colour though Dave cant remember pete to be fair..certain i seen one with the usual red white usa promo layout
