[Adydj]

Unlike it's an old OOTP with a Modern promo printed stuck on label I am not aware of any bootlegs of this... Is there ?

[Blackpoolsoul]

1970's identical label bootlegs, where the etched matrix is smaller than the original and has a 2 turn run out as opposed to a 3 turn run out on the original from 1966
Almost ALL of the DEMO copies have black marker pen through the Promotional Copy - Not For Sale, Area.
(Even the Counterfeit Copies tried to copy this)

Definitely bootlegs of the demo. Don't think the issue got the same treatment

Reckon about £150 issue bit less for demo, but that's what I think they're worth.  Probably double that in the obscene world of northern soul

I'm good Steve, thanks for asking.. Trust you are keeping well.

I was shocked to see it at 500 quid, if anyone has that much of a need of the tune they can take one of mine....lol
