Can somebody please enlighten me about the differences between original 45 and bootleg 45 of Gene Chandler's I can take care of myself? Has it ever been booted on a white demo?

TIA

Yes Benji, booted on white demo, paper feels rough and the matrix has "Best 1025" and "1026" on the respective sides - and the labels are on the wrong sides.

Thanks a lot, I got a white demo but I think I'm safe on that, isn't there a stamp or something? Was it booted on issue as well?

On my copy on Constellation all its got in the run out groove on the 'I can take care of myself' side is' 1025

On the flip side 'I can't save it' is 1026... both sides scratched on

On the uk Action lable on the 'I can take care of myself' is ACT + 4451 + B,

On the flip side 'I can't save it' Is ACT + 4451 + A... both sides stamped on

and only just noticed that the uk copy of 'I can take care of myself' was released as the 'B' side?

The USA copy is slightly differant in lay out to the above copy

Hope this helps
