Tony Hestor " Watch yourself "

[Jim Elliott]

Hi all.

Has this ever been booted on Karate??

...and how can you tell if so!?

Cheers

Jim;)

I'm pretty sure I remember that being booted on Karate.  If I remember correctly, it was taken from a scan of The 45, and so, the ink lines were faint in places and inconsistent.  I can't understand why the SECOND label would be booted, rather than that of the original release (Giant). I'm pretty sure that the Mikki Farrow on Karate was also booted, and had light lines.

[The Yank]

Not sure about the Hestor, but according to one price guide on the Mikki Farrow - the label is a lighter blue and has a "poorly

scratched "LJ" and "tUS" and the original matrix info.

[Robbk]

If I remember correctly, the eyes in the Japanese marshall arts man are too faint (virtually missing) on one side of the Mikki Farrow boot.

always suspected this had been booted or loads of copies came available cheap, many years ago bought this and tamiko jones spellbound from a market stall that sold the common at the time boots

no not really, sold a box of stuff to a mate on the proviso that when i finished my studies (student 2nd time) id buy them back. bought them back with some missing, from the original lot, but some others added, dont think they would have been nicked as in that box were loads of other things to choose , ironically a couple of the replacement records that i thought at the time were total crap 70,s disco sold for loads later, when i first played them they went in the back of the cupboard with the other" unknowns" etc that we tend to keep just in case

I have THAT slightly slanted rectangle that has crossed lines inside, dividing it into quarters, on Tony Hestor and Mikki Farrow.   But, I have a stamped 5 pointed star and a stamped script word I can't read (maybe "Audio Matrix") on Audrey Akins (K-515), and on The Accents' "On The Run" (K-529), it has what looks like a script "RM" stamped into the dead wax.  The Splendors (K-520) also had a different stamp (But, I can't find it right now).  Karate was distributed nationally in USA and Canada, and must have used several different plants for mastering.

mikki farrow and tony hestor both have the rectangular "bed" stamp, pressed and distributed by m.g.m
