never heard of a fake too but "crazy things" sure was one of the biggest sounds late 90s/early 2ks, not just UK but all over Europe...

There most certainly is a counterfeit. Two scans and matrix details of both presses are in PG5. It's a pretty obvious one, if you are familiar with the original press.

I thought it was just two slightly different label designs. If that's definite that it's a counterfeit then I apologise now to Paul Rudzitis because I argued with him that there wasn't one.

Pete, easy to not know, as it's rarer than the original! It's a New York counterfeit from the same source as most of the NS counterfeits, that filtered into the system as originals. You've only gotta hold it, and alarm bells ring. I got sent a copy recently from a Soul Source member on here cause it felt it was dodgy, and he was right. So be careful, all the details are in PG5, which you have.

Hi Thorsten !

Hope you're doin' well

Sold my copy on ebay some years ago and then realized it was a boot sadly ... It looks like the one on your Popsike link - brighter label than the original too...

No won't be able to make it sadly - Saw Michael Wink & Mik from Sheffield in London last WE - Sure it will be a good one again !

Ok Pete no problem.

Apology accepted.

The Boot is probably rarer than the Original!
