Evo Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Hi , just wondered if anyone can help with some advice. The Velours I' m gonna change. Need to know how a original differs from 70s boot?
Soul16 Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Image of the boot, this was my copy that I sold on eBay last year - the buyer promptly sold it on the same platform for double what he paid me by kind of suggesting it might be an original... Basically, the print quality on the boot isn’t quite as sharp as a real one, the sound quality gets slightly distorted towards the end and the ‘bed’ stamp is missing from the run-out area.
Solution Bo Diddley Posted March 22, 2023 Solution Posted March 22, 2023 Here's a pic of my (assumed!) original. It does look sharper than the other picture. The label on the record the lion is holding is clearer. But.... I can't see a "bed" stamp or machine stamp in the run out. Hope that helps.
Soul16 Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 I could be wrong about the stamp, memory isn't what it was. Yours is definitely an original though Bo and your photo makes a good comparison against the boot. 2
Steviehay Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 bed stamp is the easiest way most mgm releases have it

Tony Middleton (end of...)- couldn't find it Spyder Turner (I can't make...) - couldn't find it Tymes (What would....) - found what looks like 4 small machine stamped dots like this : : On some of my records, the dots may just be VERY faint (especially for old eyes!) or masked by marks from their previous life. 1

Thanks for the information it’s very helpful to someone who is not sure
Theothertosspot Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Definitely a bed stamp in the original. Also the boot, although very good, will smudge if rubbed with a damp thumb (or anything else to hand, excuse the pun). The ABC boot, ie, Yum Yums, smudges the same, Eddie Reagan does as well I recall
