Robby Lawson - Burning Sensation

How can you tell the difference between the original on Kyser and the limited repress, also on Kyser?
Literally asking for a friend, I kid you not.

By the sounds of it , from the horse's mouth in this comment , it's a different mix to the original , not a great help but interesting nonetheless.

Paul Kyser sold me a couple of "originals" back in 2009 when I licensed some tracks from him. They were reissues that he had had done

Have a look at the images on discogs for both the original and reissue, it might help.

I've tried that already Carl and they're too similar to tell any difference, except, as you'd expect, the repress / reissue looks cleaner.
I've subsequently been advised by a highly respected dealer to look out for a Bell Sound matrix stamp on the original, albeit very light. I'm assuming that means the repress doesn't have that stamp. Hopefully, I'll get to examine my friend's copy over the weekend to see what he's got, fingers crossed for good news

The discogs images of the original include the scratched matrix number in the runout.

If the repress was from different stampers then the scratched matrix number will look different.

I have an original and I believe it has a "Bestway" stamped matrix not "Bell Sound".

I will check tonight.

Thanks for that Carl. Turns out my friend's copy has no stamp, Bestway or Bell Sounds, so I'm going to advise him that his copy is a repress, albeit one of a limited number. He's no interest in selling it but who wouldn't be tempted by the price an original copy could fetch these days

Just as an aside to the authenticity/rareness aspect of the thread, but a fair question I feel nonetheless; just how popular is this. How many people like it.

Tin hat on and all that, but it's not something I particularly like. I'd be interested in your take - is it a big yes or a big fat no!?

Thanks.

Big yes here.One of the great things about this track is it's rarity on an original, hence you don't get to hear it out that often so when it does get played it really hits the mark for me anyway.
