Hoagy Lands The next in line Laurie Advance Release?

[Craig W]

Is this real or a boot as the label text is different from any I can find online.

The etched matrix numbers are

Side 1 - W4KM 0901 1-E

Side 2 - W4KM 1006 -E

Thank you

Are the numbers in the run out grooves scratched in or machine stamped?

I think there are three different label design original demos. Two vinyl and one styrene.

There is a styrene 1970's reissue as well.

If you go on discogs, it looks close to the Rockaway pressing. What's strange is the stars at the top and bottom of the label look like someone added them in blue ink versus black on the picture below. And the credits on the left side are now the the right side.

That looks like an original to me.  I have several Lauries with the record/credit information sides reversed.  That isn't a "sign" that such a label indicates a bootleg.

   I never said it was a bootleg, I just pointed out it looked like the  Rockaway pressing except the credits were reversed. The  blue stars ( instead of black)  were another difference.

If it's the demo with Advance Release written down the sides and has the matrix numbers machined  stamped in the run out groove, it's a definite original.

The matrix numbers are etched in the run out grooves.

Also there is no Recorded at text under Hoagy Lands on the A side.

As I mentioned earlier, there are two original vinyl demos with the writing credits in different places.

The machined stamped copies have the Recorded At Allegro Studios info at the bottom and the other demo design has this info on the right hand A side.  I don't know if this second design ( different pressing plant?) is stamped or just has etched in matrix numbers. Can someone confirm this either way ?

Number stamped plus R 

I brought this back in 1978 for £5 major St Ives sounds back in 1976/77
