ROYAL FIVE - SAY IT TO MY FACE - TYLER

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.

Thanks Mate

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!!

You should write a guide Trev,with bits to colour in

just read the post about the numbers under label and i just found them .never noticed them before,

Easier to see on the WD.

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

Rod 

that's original for sure

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.
