How do you tell an original from a boot ?

This one here is DEJAC - 1253 but it has a slightly weird looking middle

just thought i'd ask

Hi

One record that I will buy when I have the funds, brilliant record.

I believe there are many different original press/label colours & boots though.

Sorry I can't help, but would be Interested to know the different issues, Original etc.

werent the boots pressed in the uk and had push out centres which if you look closely you can see small points in the vinyl where they were pushed out?

Sounds like the boot to me...

They were pressed up with pop-out middles - the same as UK records from the 60s, then they were popped out leaving the indentations where the centre used to be. (Stuart Ames was done at the same time/place).

Original came in three or four different colours...will try and scan mine later.

JINX!

Cheers for that guys....it seems to be the boot....have no idea how i've ended up with it ...just sorting out the spare room and coming across piles I never knew existed.

thanks

Here's the white label variation - the hardest?

I had one of these, got it from Butch sometime in the 80's and didn't see another one for many a year.

Original stock copy.

Will be giving this a spin at The Connaught Friday.

Are you sure you are in your own house....I come across piles of wire coat hangers I never knew I had but not stacks of records....

should have a stamped Bell Sound matrix as well - mine has anyway. And some other indentations in the run-out - although they could be dog bite marks

A great record though and one of the few I've shied away from selling
