I've got one of these from when I were a lad but back then I didn't appreciate the original vs pressing thing.......it was just a record containing a song I'd heard and liked.  Consequently I have a box of records where in some cases I don't know whether what I have is original or not!

Sorry to hijack your thread, as it won't help you as i probably wouldn't sell anyway, but how do you definitively tell an original from a boot, and how much do each fetch anyway?

 

Cheers,

Thanks Mark R

The original is a solid centre with anti slip milling around the edge and stamped. I think in this market it would be between £250 to £300 for one in excellent/near mint condition, Manship values it at £150 in his British Price Guide. I have a boot of it which I play at home , but would like an original to dj with. All the best..

if hes had it since he was a lad then I would imagine its an original as the boot was pressed fairly recently. And if Mark R doesn't play it then perhaps it should go to a good home

Thanks! a good home waiting for an original! ..

Well I'd certainly better check it out!  I'm just not a good seller.......hate letting records go!

I have a boot on the Beacon label which doesn't have a solid centre-  I think it may have been a 7t's boot- it's definitely not an original- would love a proper one to play out.. thanks for your interest in the record.

Yes the boots sound fine and are quite rare in their own right- hope your copy is an original so that you can either gaze at it in amazement or sell it to help with Xmas !! lol..

Hi Matt,

Happy hunting mate! :-)
