I bought a copy of this last year on SOUL label, all the credits are in silver writing.

I've just seen a copy for sale on Ebay with the credits in black writing, the seller remarks that his is "original and that there a lot of bootlegs out there".

If this is correct, does that mean that mine in silver writing is a bootleg??

Any info would be appreciated.

I'm beginning to sound like an anorak, pass us your coat Gene. ;-)

I think the boots were badly done White demo's. I have one. Paid 50p for it in a long closed down record shop in Gloucester.

The one on sale looks OK to me. Cant think of any with silver writing on Soul. But as usual I will be proved wrong on that I suspect.

I'll get me coat...........for you Ian!!!

As Mikey says, all boots were bad repros of demos. As far as I'm aware, the issue on Ebay (and yours for that matter) are all original. Soul did use black or silver lettering when the mood took them, and I'm certainly not aware of the issue being booted!!

Gene

was this not pressed at Monarch ? if so check the matrix

oops forgot to say 'rare original' dont think so,

was this not pressed at Monarch ? if so check the matrix

Have you bought Gene's coat?

Just out of interest what should the matrix look like?

Sorry Ian - but the amazing technicolor Genecoat remains safely with me!!!

Gene

easy to check ''IF'' it was pressed there, wiser people than me will know if it was done there or not...maybe it wasnt ?

,should be a 5 digit number ( with a triangle before it ) on the runout, would have to think what year it was then check the first 2 digits correspond with the run for that year.

I agree a bit anoraky but you asked the question ....

True. :-)

check it out and let us know out of interest as I dont have a copy to check, my copy of Frances Nero, keep on loving me, was done at Monarch and although it is a demo with a different logo than some demos it is a proper one , I believe they used this plant for a few releases.

cheers..........roll on friday and the seaside !!!

I can see a triangle followed by the number 68191.

I think I need a new coat now, preferably one with a hood! ;-)

then its a proper one, 1967 I think,

the brains still scrambled after Cleethorpes, werent the Diplomats good !!!!

did they get their skull back ? I lost one as well.
