Soulboy69 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hello good people. Forgive me if this has been covered before (as i was probably day dreaming) but does anyone know how to tell the difference between the original pressing of The International GTO's "I Love My Baby" and the re-press (using the same label). Thank you in advance. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Easy one - original is nice thick vinyl with moulded label - pressing is crappy styrene with stuck on label Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Easy one - original is nice thick vinyl with moulded label - pressing is crappy styrene with stuck on label There's another one though isn't there? One of the infamous Soussan ones same time as George Blackwell and all that lot that were sold as originals. Can't remember how thick the vinyl was, but as I recall it was vinyl with a moulded over label. Certainly didn't look like the later rubbish styrene boot.

Thank you in advance. Hi there, re Int Gto's, It was done three times 1) counterfeit copy -hard to tell difference except it has the initials PB in the run off and no bell stamp or stamped matrix number. 2/3) booted on blue copy and mauve copy with # 100300 scratched in run off (source; Manship raresoulman) respects Marky Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yeh, the MR stamped one is the one i have, what's it worth? I guess anything between £10/20 ??? It's not an easy pressing to get. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
ZapatootheTiger Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) On this label? (forgive my ignorance) - mine has MR in a circle stamped on it and "M# 117" and separately "100300-X" preceded by a triangle hand-scratched. The disch isn't that thick, the label sees to be solidly stuck on the record. Edited February 1, 2009 by ZapatootheTiger Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 That's the 2nd boot. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
harpo1 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ibought mine off Sam one Saturday lunch time in the Vic. on the bus going home it somehow got in the wars, and cracked it two thirds of the way around the final run in groove, you could push the label part right up, really wierd, never quite figured out how id done it. Yes it was Bell Sound stamped. Ihave seen a couple of the counterfeit ones one priced as a proper one, the other in a mates box didn't question his purchase, other than to say it was different to the one i'd had, at the time i didnt know the copys existed so i asumed he was buying the real deal, it appears not! It did finally bite the dust along with a few others inc, Luther Ingram w demo Ivorys Inspirations Your wish deon jackson thats what you do and cant go on demos roy hamilton shook me up Lee Andrews Ive had it issue and a couple more i cant recall after a domestic with my ex led to her slinging my play box out the back door cest la vie!
