Whilst checking out a few records that I've had sitting around since the year dot, I came across Sandi Sheldon. Ovenchips values at £600 for the version with large 45 on label & £30 for version with small 45 on. I of course have the version with the small 45 on!

Is my version a legit re-issue. Its properly stamped up on the run out grooves, but the label is not that well stuck onto the record (looks like air bubbles got in there).

Also in the box was Major Lance - You Don't Want Me No More. The guide doesn't distinguish between large & small 45s on this one. So I assume that it was only issued the once?

Thanks for help.

Both records issue legally twice. Once on LARGE 45 (Original), once on small 45, 70s Legal Reissue.

Along with Billy Butler, Little Richard, Williams & Watson , and more and also Booted, The only way to be sure is large 45 and Stamped Ive got coppies with large 45 and with the Number etched, all Demos, carnt seem to get a definitve answer on these, people say its a boot then offer to take them off my hands so now i only buy large 45 and stamped no matter what the seller tells me Not saying anybodys wrong it just stops people arguing about it.

The booted demos are obvious.... the print is poor and the labels dont look right....

I've had Little Richard "I Don't Wanna Discuss It" and Walter Jackson "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" both like this...

WOOF!

Aren't all the boot demos on vinyl instead of styrene?

I thought this was the case, but wasn't entirely sure.... so didn't suggest it as a lot of nonsense gets taken as gospel once its been bandied around on the net.

WOOF!

Sorry should of added the styrene in original reply To be honist ive not seen any thing on okeh on vinyl, all my originals, 2nd issues are on styrene Be it a demo or issues carnt say about the new boots about as ive never seen one.

yes they are pretty obvious but another giveaway on some of the boot promos is a small black circle,this is actually the drill hole of the original record and when photocopied appears as a black spot the size of the drillhole

said soussan as he was packing the boxes 'ah nobody will noticce zis,zey all high on drugs'

Yea it does

Just had a quick look on e bay

Thanks for replies. Just 1 more question...

As the Major Lance - You Don't Want Me No More is a 70s re-issue, whats it worth?

Thanks again.

Col

Remember them purple vinal promo`s,twenty years ago £3 boot,now 100% real with prices to match,thats okeh for you!.

I think this is a boot maybe someone can confirm this for me, as ive been asked to sell this on many an ocasion, by people telling me its a boot, just makes me sceptical. The matrix No is scratced in and its on styrene

Once told a Demo with a drill hole spells dodgey, as the drill whole was put in on records after they had been unsold. Records were sold to the shops on a, sale or retun, if it didnt sell you got youre money back, all the returns where then BB and sold off cheep, as is

Demos were all give aways and as such were not in the loop to get returned
