Don't know about you but I'm fed up of seeing the bootleg white demos of Epitome Of Sound being sold off as originals.

There's yet another one on eBay right now - This are the heavy duty pitted labels like Dave Newman / Idle Few etc.

Suppose this'll go for 3 figures and buyer will be non the wiser - wait another 3 weeks and up it'll come again.

The green or white boots do sometimes go for lots of money even when advertised as boots ... I myself sell them on and off for that kind of money.

My gripe is the boots being advertised as original, when they are clearly no such thing ...

Mick

isn't the green boot speeded up ?

No, the Moses Smith one is (which is also green) . The Green boots of the orig are normal speed.

i knew one of them was, isn't the moses smith sandbag label so much better than the original

Oh yes it is so much better in my opinion . It was the first version I heard, and was a bit dissappointed to hear the original version years later to be honest.

Is this version speed up or regular speed? Sounds much faster than epitome version.

Have you reported him?

yep its speeded up a tad

Thanks!

the question is where can i find a "moses smith" copy? one of my favorites and i wouldnt mind having a copy to throw people off a bit.

and btw, very suprised to see people are still overpaying for the boots, they are pretty easy to pick out just by looking at the label. original says s 101 and the new boots say s 001. and not to mention the small brail like serial under the label.

What's the difference between an original W/D and a bootleg W/D? I'm only aware of the green label pressing.

Benji,

A real white demo looks like this ...

Sharp and clear text.

Whilst the bootleg white demo looks like this ...

Slightly blurred text - pitted label - very heavy duty vinyl - just like boots of Dave Nemman & Idle Few.

Cheers

Still waiting to hear....

Mick,

thanks for clearing that up. Never heard of it being pressed on white demo and it's not mentioned in Manship Bootleg Guide #2.
