macca Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) what do you think? small 45, matrix not stamped, but etched in & it's on what appears to be vinyl with a molded on label too. came in a company sleeve, which threw me. there's been a lot of debate about Okeh reissues & boots recently.

pikeys dog Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Definately sounds like a boot to me. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 That actually looks real to me, bit different if you could hold it but I think the last one I had was vinyl Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

That's the big 45 logo. Looks alright to me, apart from the fact that I've never seen it on vinyl prior to this. Wouldn't mind a vinyl copy instead of my styrene one actually. Pounding tune that one!

macca Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 thanks for your replies chaps. just compared it to some styrene major lance 45's I have. am I right in thinking that a molded on label can only be vinyl? & what about the lack of a stamped matrix?

Yes moulded is only on vinyl, but I wouldn't worry about the lack of stamped matrix, I've had them before, notably Tommy Tate - Taking on pain, that had a scratched matrix Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) am I right in thinking that a molded on label can only be vinyl? Yes, that's right. Those with "painted labels" (Amy/Mala/Bell type 45s) are styrene though. & what about the lack of a stamped matrix? I don't know for sure when it comes to this particular 45. But I've had other Okeh 45s like Major Lance "Without A Doubt" pressed on vinyl and with a scratched in matrix number instead of stamped. But really, we should get Manship on this thread, he might know. Edited June 11, 2007 by Sebastian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ged Parker Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'm almost sure that there is at least one legitimate release with the small '45' logo on Okeh can't for the life of me think what it is at the moment. This clearly has the large '45' though and looks legit mine is vinyl too from memory. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It's the original issue copies of: Major Lance - Too Hot To Hold / Dark And Lonely - OKEH 7226 which has got the small 45 RPM logo. White demos has got the big logo though.
