Mark Bain Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Grateful for any expert opinion on my copy of Hey Sah-Lo-Ney. Been in my box since 1990. Just updating values and checking Discogs etc, there are 2 "x"'s on my copy and "Promotion Copy" is placed slightly higher on the right side of the label on mine so thinking it's a boot, but the matrix no. and "Ultra Sonic" etched in run-off look genuine. Notice there are two genuine different Promo label versions recorded on Discogs - one with larger "X" on left side, the second with smaller "X" on right side. The "x"s on mine match the smaller / right hand side version but mine has two, plus the "Promotion Copy" positioned differently. So, I am confused. No big deal if a boot but if considering selling at some point I want to be 100% either way. Pics attached for reference and thanks in advance. Edited March 17, 2022 by Mark Bain
Solidsoul Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) It looks good. I think it's original after looking at the pictures, especially with that ultrasonic stamp. Different pressing plants can get there labels printed slightly different from one another. As you probably already know it was booted on Itzy in the 70's. Edited March 17, 2022 by D9 Ktf
Mark Bain Posted March 17, 2022 Author Posted March 17, 2022 Thanks!! Everything about it looks original and was hoping that would be the case re the pressing plants as already two documented label versions only differing v slightly from my own. Was aware of the Itzy boot but nothing to suggest a Swan demo boot out there. Great to get your opinion - really appreciated. 1
The Yank Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Just spotted one of these on e-bay- it looks like some Swan promos were made with double X's- 2
Mark Bain Posted March 17, 2022 Author Posted March 17, 2022 Great spot. The “x”s and “Promotion Copy” match up 100% so different discs at same pressing plant using slightly different label formatting. Makes perfect sense, thank you!!
