"Im assuming that's cos they copied lettering on much later "dark blue" bootleg from Lendo copy.
As far as I know copies turned up more like 25 years ago and maybe earlier. Found by Larry Pietowski [Ray] on a Detroit flea along with "Do you want a boy" and "So What"by Carl Carlton.
He sent me copy of each and "So what" went to Guy as an unknown so that hopefully gives an idea of when.
Few years later in a garage in Detroit and amidst other rare 45s were 5 copies of the Rufus on Lendo. Seller had had them for years"
Good enough for me i think? White Lendo's are originals....thanks for info Rod.
