i have a copy of this on

n.y.c.s. - d.k. 10

it is on styrene , also in the run out it has this scratched, NYC911762 , 9.10 has been scratched out and replaced with 9.13.76

jivein side has the date scratched , 9. 13.76 , the lable has a few bubbles in it as well

i have been told that this is a boot , but i have also been told that its a original,

any info on this would help , thanks Eddy

think it has been booted on nycs but it is a recent boot and will probably be vinyl and a poor lookalike copy, got a scan as that will show 100% which copy it is, think new boot has very small writing on it ?

Ian.

ian , i have not seen any boots about to compare with , but i know i bought it at wigan for less than a fiver , about 79/80 , it looks very much like the original scans i have seen over the last few years, but a lot of boots can be nearly spot on , it does not refer to a boot in the latest jms book, so i just thought to ask , if anyone knows the answer , someone one here will , thanks

heres a link to the boot

dont think it was ever booted before - only ever seen yellow label ones and they were styrene

the link above is a new boot / repress on a white NYC - if this is a copy of a demo - then Ive never seen an original demo - white or otherwise

thanks for the answers on this , the one i have is not like the repress on ebay, its on a yellow label , so it looks like it may be a original , unless someone knows if the runout numbers are right or not, thanks

Eddy,

the description of the run out is identical to my copy, which I obtained from a very reliable dealer some years ago. I'd be astonished (and gutted) if mine were a boot...

Hope this helps

All the best

Andrew

I found 8 copies in Subway records in New York in 1979-it was being played by Sam as The Carstairs c/u-I actually owned the record as a new release purchased in Syd Booths from Phil kingswood around 1975 -always loved it-they are the same as the scan.

ps dont forget about the UK Grapevine release as well
