Jimmy Thomas - Mirwood

[Theothertosspot]

Hi all, could anyone enlighten me. Is this an East Coast press or just a seventies reissue/boot.

The etching in the runout looks genuine but can’t see the “bed” stamp although there is an 11 stamp there. It is vinyl I think and quite thin.

Regards in advance.

Looks like one of the originals to me. The vinyl profile looks right and the right print style. Can you see a bed stamp on the flip side? There is another type of vinyl original and a styrene original.

The 70's boot had a more pale, lighter blue label.

Thanks or info

There is a vague stamp that may be the “bed” on “Just tryin .....”. The print style looks smaller than those on discogs, that’s what makes me unsure.

The copy in your picture is not the 70's boot. I think it is the MGM press of this Mirwood. The styrene originals have a darker blue label colour. 

The larger print vinyl copies are the west coast originals. The vinyl boot was copied from this one.

A follow up question on this.... does a white demo exist? Majority of Mirwoods were preceded by a white demo but I've yet to see this one (same goes for My Little Girl)

Cheers........... Pete
