There were a lot of different boots of this Ian, and my memory ain't the best (JM's bootleg guide is probably best for clarification... anyone?) but think that, if yours is styrene with a raised X then it is the Detroit original - only problem I have there though is the 'shade' of green. I can't remember if it was light or dark! I know it was reissued by atco in the seventies on both green and orange but I think the layout of the label was different? And I do remember a dark green boot, albeit with a very glossy stick on label.

As I say, with so many boots and reissues of this I honestly can't remember which is which but hopefully someone will clear things up.

Deffo on orange for 70's company reissue.... seem to remember had address (or summat) on label ....

Don't seen that this company reissue was also on green though.... just orange....

Seemed to think a green vinyl copy with a moulded label with atco dist on bottom of label? May be barking completely uup the wrong tree here and simply getting details of originals and boots intertwined! So I'm gonna shut up now... before I start digging a hole for myself

Quite a complex subject in all honesty

There is a known, Presumed One Off copy on Orange HIB (The Rarest)

A White DEMO with the Parker Street Address, (Rocking Horse ....)

A White DEMO Atco Distributed,

Here is the thread from November 2006. >>> LINK <<< You should find the Information contained useful.

It is one of my Favourite Instrumentals, I love the Vocal, but the Instrumental just wins in my opinion.

I will try to feature the different Issues at a Later Date in the New sub forum. The Sharp End Of Vinyl

I have the White DEMO Atco Distributed and used to have the Green Styrene with the Raised X.

This is probably the most common topic on Soul Source and probably gets covered about 4 times a year so there is plenty of information already existing on this site if you do a search, however there is no harm in covering it again as the status of such a great instrumental definately warrants it.

Has Roger has already pointed out a few of the variants out there.

I have the one which Roger highlights as the rarest which is the Orange HIB issue which at the moment is the only known copy, I have posted up scans of this issue before and I will post them up again if I can get my scanner to work. It is quite different to the Orange re-issue.

Forgot to add, this copy is vinyl with moulded over label, looking closer the X isn't as raised as i thought and could be just scatched in.

I got this from a well respected dealer/DJ who told me he got it off Richard Wylie himself !!

Looked at old threads and it is a minefield , blimey charlie !!

Wheres Ken with his technicolourdreamissue ???

There is a green, almost turquoise issue on vinyl, of the White Demo that has ATCO distributed etc written up the left side. It is rare and I have only ever seen it once, but when I saw it I knew right away that it was the issue to this type of White Demo.

Still a one off

I have one like this in styrene but also has PLUG SIDE and PROMOTIONAL NOT FOR SALE on the r'h side.

Monarch pressing number 64973 ( Jan 1967)

I ran it past Mr Manship a few years ago and he reckoned it was a 'real one'

Now, if anyone can tell he how to do a scan and attach, I'll post it up here!

As I myself have been down this road before, it looks to me like a bootleg copy. I only say this because I finally bought an original on e-bay, which is green, but has the text 4862 Parker St. Detroit Mich running underneath the Hib Records logo.

The best way of telling though is the sound quality, the bootlegs have a pretty poor, very quiet sound.

Best,

Ian

Right here goes it, the 100% pucker no reason to doubt originals are as follows : Styrene/paper label/V.pronounced raised "X" along with ZTSP matrix stamp/ Snooker table green in colour/And label text is sharp and crisp and no little black ink spots on the label- Thats it!! all others are to be left well alone as they are either 70's reissues or even worse boot's. As for the orange "thing"....... leave it with you :-)

You are right about the styrene issues, but all the others issues are NOT 70's issues or boots!! There is a vinyl 100% original issue.

There is a green, almost turquoise issue on VINYL, of the White Demo that has ATCO distributed etc written up the left side. It is rare and I have only ever seen it a couple of times in 30+ years collecting. It is the issue to this type of White Demo and is rare! You have to turn the record 90 degrees to read the HIB label title and Atco distributed details. It is not the same thick print or shade of green, as the green issue featured in the previous posts above.
