paup-ine Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) Yikes on JM how much is that going for? How do you spot a bootleg/counterfeit? Thanks P (Sorry if this has been done already) Edited September 3, 2008 by paup-ine
Pete S Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Bit of a minefield there I think, there's the styrene bootleg which is easy to spot and there was a thick vinyl bootleg sold as an original, but there's also a very very good counterfeit as well (probably has pb scratched into the run off). I don't think I've ever seen a bona-fide original.
John Parker Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) Yikes on JM how much is that going for? How do you spot a bootleg? Thanks P (Sorry if this has been done already) An original Anderson Brothers is a very hard record to find Bootlegs had either a raised ridge just before the centre hole or in styrene with incorrect delta number On the original matrix should read--GSFS1179--With a small matrix mark on both sides that looks like an l in a 3/4 circle (and is vinyl not styrene) What will it make?..750-1000 Edited September 3, 2008 by john parker
John Parker Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Oh yes as Pete said there is one with PB scratched in as with the fake George Blackwell etc
paup-ine Posted September 3, 2008 Author Posted September 3, 2008 Oh yes as Pete said there is one with PB scratched in as with the fake George Blackwell etc Thanks for that. Ive got plenty of scratches on mine, PB scratched in and out again! And its Styrene, so I cant put that to my holiday in the Sun!! Thanks again P
Dave Thorley Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Also the the original has a more mate finish to the label, boots has a gloss finish, looking at the other mark mentioned before, it looks more like a 'L' in a 3/4 circle. The scratched in matrix reads GSFS 1179 on one side and GSFM (N80-scratched through) 1179 on the flip run out. The S & M for the mono/stereo sides
paup-ine Posted September 3, 2008 Author Posted September 3, 2008 Finished on JM for £990 tionight Thanks evryone, I can't complain, it only cost me 75p at the time, but you can dream for 5 mins can't you!! Still like it, and it looks good. P
Steve Plumb Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Also the the original has a more mate finish to the label, boots has a gloss finish, looking at the other mark mentioned before, it looks more like a 'L' in a 3/4 circle. The scratched in matrix reads GSFS 1179 on one side and GSFM (N80-scratched through) 1179 on the flip run out. The S & M for the mono/stereo sides Just posted the info below on JM auction thread then spotted this thread, so i've posted it again- Best way to tell the Anderson Bros is to make sure the mono side is actually mono! It definitely sounds different to the Stereo mix and is only on the original. I always play the Mono side out........keeps the Soul Police away Cheers Steve
Ian Seaman Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I had an original in my hand about 3 months ago, it was priced at £180 !! was about VG++, trying to think where it was so i can chase it again pdq Ian.
Pete S Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I had an original in my hand about 3 months ago, it was priced at £180 !! was about VG++, trying to think where it was so i can chase it again pdq Ian. I'd have thought it was worth 250 to 300 quid personally
Ian Seaman Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I'd have thought it was worth 250 to 300 quid personally yeah about right Pete, this copy was a bit worn and loads of small marks etc but guarenteed to play ex+, think it was at Burton i saw it !! Ian.
Guest moggy Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 yeah about right Pete, this copy was a bit worn and loads of small marks etc but guarenteed to play ex+, think it was at Burton i saw it !! Ian. I bought a blazer from there once
pogo paul Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Think this is the pressing, has PB and Mick Viggam in run out groove. plays mono on Bside.
Steve Plumb Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Think this is the pressing, has PB and Mick Viggam in run out groove. plays mono on Bside. Didn't realise the PB boot played Mono..............best cancel what I said above then
Pete S Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Think this is the pressing, has PB and Mick Viggam in run out groove. plays mono on Bside. Theres another variation of this -it's got a dip going down towards the middle, I remember buying it from Max's in 76 - 8 quid!!! I thought it was an original. Pretty sure it was mono / stereo There's also the much more common styrene pressing obviously.
