Johnny Hampton - Boot Or Not?

[Guest]

Could anyone advise on how to spot a boot of this 45 on Dottys? I've got JMs guide and he states that the original is yellow moulded label on vinyl with a Nashville matrix in the deadwax. Bootleg is off white. Also bootlegged on on yellow dj no 1001 same song each side & in styrene with yellow label.

The one I'm looking at has a yellow moulded label, is vinyl but has no Nashville Matrix and this doesn't fit into any of JMs descriptions!

Cheers

Adam.

Unfortunately it's a boot, you need you "bleach" it and sell it as a DEMO.. apparently that works..

Cheers John, bought it as a boot so no loss!

I think that info is incorrect, I've never seen an "off white" bootleg of this, the first one was a styrene job with a yellow label, rubbish sound quality and done along with Donna King etc. Much later came a counterfeit which looks identical to the original but doesn't have the matrix stamp. I've never even heard of their being a real white demo of this though I'm not saying there isn't.

Well I will swap this one with you if you want

The sound quality is great
