Larry Hale Once, Lookalike Boot

I think one of these is a lookalike boot. Purchased in '76 I think, at the casino one night, could've been '77. I seem to recall seeing the following in Echoes only a week before purchase, but memory plays tricks.

"LARRY HALE - "Once" (Diamond). Originally covered up as Pat White's "One More Once" this is brilliant Wigan '76 Stomper. The maxim widely used when listening to a new song - "If it grabs you in the first twenty seconds - grab it" Works with this one. The unique thumping drum opening and off key beats compliments Larry's wailing tortuous voice, so reminiscent of a Teddy Vann production a la 'Moonlight Music & You' and 'What Shall I do'. Watch out for the Blue Diamond normal copies as against the green and white demo which is a pressing"

I stuck that clipping on the front of the card sleeve (looking a little brown now). Years later I doubted it's authenticity, no matrix but a scratched in D 203 B.

The similar coloured promo has a delta 61542 putting it about March/April 66 if genuine.

Is the promo genuine?

Is the other a boot?
