HOW DO I TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BOOT & ORIGINAL? ANY SCANS WOULD BE HELPFUL.

Hi There,

Go into www.popsike.com Put the Royal Five in the search engine and a few scans will pop up. The original has a bluey coloured label and the bootleg is much more purple.

run your finger over the label, you'll find a raised area, look closely & you will see 4 raised numbers under the label

Have done that and no sign of any raised area/numbers. Also, the colour of the label is light purple, all very confusing. Thing is, I bought the 45 recently from a seller via soul-source and I'd hate to think I was sold a boot!!

Ive bought this recently and it appears to be the purple original and not the maroon bootleg but I can’t find these hidden numbers?? Can anyone help me locate them?

There is a raised area on the b side but I’m not convinced that they are numbers?

thanks

Another picture....Any help would appreciated

thanks

[Kris Holmes]

that's original for sure

[Athleticsdad]

Thanks Kris

i think finding these mysterious numbers would confirm your opinion if only I could find them

Here's the boot, lighter almost 'Pink' label, the original is Purple, and a proper Philly vinyl. No raised stamp on the label of the boot, and lightly etched in T 200 -A1 / T200 B1 in the deadwax...

'Gonna Keep Lovin You' is the better side btw ;-0)

You can see the stamp under the label through the E&R on Tyler at 7 o’clock

I can also see the stamped numbers under the word lovin' on the flip side.

The light purple boot was done quite a few years ago for the USA market! Maybe beach music scene or crossover doo-wop.
