I always thought this was booted but the delta number suggests around 1972, is that right? If so,

I've got one you can have for 50 quid BUT the other side, Save Your Love, has a bit of surface noise, the Need For Love side is EX.

Pete,

Wasn't a boot. We had 500 copies repressed by the label, totally legit. God knows why I did this, never been in demand, but I loved the record!

At the time I guess we thought we could move 500 of just about anything.

hi pete,

does yours look like this one,

mine also has a bit of noise on the b-side,

maybe it's a poor press,

always thought mine was a re-issue,

87770 delta number

Yeah identical to that one. Just played it and the problem was that Save Your Love actually sticks after about 2 seconds and you have to press down on it to get it to play, the other side is near mint.

Guess that explains the delta number then Neil, thanks for that.

Do I sell it as a reissue though, if so, how much?

I'm confused with this...I bought mine a few years back as an original off a very reputable dealer yet it looks like the yellow one on styrene above....will check the numbers when i get in....

Whats the story then...it was issued and then people over here re-issued it??

What does a true US original look like then?? And is there a price difference between them??

Thanks,

JM

I have the same yellow label that sort of looks like it's coming off and looks more late 70s than 60s. I think Neil is saying that they were pressed from the same plates in the US so the only way to tell the difference is by a more 60s looking label.

Hmmmm always thought it looked a little funny...mine has the bubbled paper. Took the fact that it had been bought from one of the major dealers to be a guarantee it was a proper copy, not at all interested in having essentially a second issue of it.

So is the genuine 60's press a white demo on styrene but with a better glue holding the label on basically? :rolleyes:

So surely the second issue should be sold as such ie: NOT for anywhere near the money for a proper one.....

Will look for a white DJ copy then I think.

Have to agree with you - up until about 5 years ago I was selling that yellow one with bubbly label for a fiver - I bought one out of a shop in Stoke for a fiver a couple of years back, in the pressings section. But I watched them selling time after time, I've seen them for up to £100 and if there were only 500 copies to start, 250 of those will already be out of the equasion so you've only got 250 left - therefore, it's now a rare record!
