Has The Gems - I'll be there - Riverside ever been booted on a white demo?

I got a copy here which I think is an original, it has a very faint stamp in the matrix, but not decipherable.

And just i case I got an original, does anyone know how much it's worth these days?

Thanks!

Hi Benji,

One sure way of finding out is that all the WDJ bootlegs were pressed on thin styrene.

If you've got a vinyl original, I guess a sensible price for a white demo would be around £50.

I am sure " IBT " was booted twice - one being the WD , and the other being the god-damn awful shitty blue one .

For your consideration , the original WDJ and the issue ........

There's a vinyl white demo boot (has no stamp) - a styrene one - one on a blue label - and one on Soultown

The original white demo has the initials GS in the run out followed by the matrix number

The bootleg white demo just has the matrix number

Bit of trivia: Lewise - real name Louise, they simply mis-spelled it on her Sack 45 - Bethune of My baby likes to boogaloo fame was the lead on this, she's still going strong over the river from here in NJ, we've been trying to get her on stage so fingers crossed

Yep pretty sure I had a wdj boot on vinyl - looked quite authentic - but no stamp.
