I suspect that when Original copies came into the country, just like any other at the time they were overlooked.
Problem being that Soultown had been selected as an Authentic looking, cheap to produce 2 colour label for the other BOOTs.
I must also say that untill this thread, I would have been just as cautious when bidding,
It's only by swapping thoughts and Information that things like this come to light.
As already stated, It looks like "Someone got the bargain of the year"
