wouldnt buy it myself with that date stamp

[Phil Shields]

asked the seller what colour it was when held up to the light.....answer brown

[Alamo]

.....answer brown

Oh dear! sounds like an expensive bootleg. If I remember rightly the original has an 'AR' stamped in the deadwax inside a circle. cant remember the delta number though.

A

[Ted Massey]

looking at the other stuff he is selling its almost certainly a boot the circle with the A and a swiggle in the runout grooves must be pressed in the boots are scratched

[Guest soulmaguk]

Think Manship sold a brown vinyl one for £200. And have heard of another sold for a grand, crackers.

[Ted Massey]

The seller is not even stating he is selling boots/repros these bidders really need to be told

I have a brown vinyl (when held up to the light) one bought many years ago (£15) without that date stamp on the label. My mate Ian has one with the date stamp on the label bought more recently.

Can anyone tell me which came first, the date stamped one or no stamp?

The brown vinyl (when held up to the light) ones' which have sold for expensive amounts have NOT had the label stamp on them.

Mine has superb sound tone and label is quality too. They must be tough to find?

The date stamp seems remarkably fresh for 1967.

Defo a boot, got a record of him the other week and it was a boot, sold it as an original.

Quality of J&TW is bad it has crackles and pops not on the record but from the original record at the end and beginning.

I have very few US records that have date stamps on them like that, in fact probably hardly any. Some have a date scribbled in normally in rushed handwriting. Love the way someone has done the X X grafitti to make it look like a plug side too Fools and their money etc....

[Marc Forrest]

For a long time this was in my book one of the moest expensive bootlegs that ever went thru ebay as it once went for the unbelievable sum of 260 UKP on ebay several years ago

[Guest Brian Ellis]

Latest bid now just £16.01. Top-dollar bids have been withdrawn 'after seller changed description'!

I was one of the of those, dunno why i did not question it more really, but there you go.. a boot, and I'm out.

they were done at the same time, just a few stamped with date, mate who did them is on here but dunno if he reads much. There's an old discussion about this boot and the story behind them.
