Sorry but none of the USA records pictured are originals, so do not sell for much. I think you might get up to £10 at the most.

I like the 80s trapper keeper designs on those inferno 45s

that bobby wood is a boot? how do you tell? if so I have a bone to pick with someone on here..................

Me too, hadn't seen any of them before. Do they go for as much as Grapevine stuff?

Suspect there are load of lofts with similar collections from the mid 70s - but you never know, among them there may be one or two real gems.

Cheap enough to pick up if you can be bothered.

In general they aren't as collectable as Grapevines.

The pale green originals look like this, a fair bit of difference, also came out on a gold label and white demo

so the wlp is on the label design you posted & not on the one in the original post?? I bought a wlp on the label design in the first post on the word it was an original & am about to send a furious email...

Seen a few recently, of the same label design as your scan Dave, listed as "2nd Issue" or "70's Reissue". Sometimes difficult to tell wether label is a very feint blue/green or white though.

Also seen these listed as originals:

........same design as Kris has, but with a Maddison address crossed through. Have to admit I was uncertain when I took a punt on one of these in the closing stages of an auction.

We may need a second opion here, like Pete S. But I'm sure the Green Demo are boots.

this is the one i was sold, except the 1615 W Madison address isn't crossed out. it is the same label design as all the other Colt 45s I have (Homesick James etc) The first time I have seen the other design is in Dave's post. I have emailed the seller asking what the story is....... If it was booted as promo on that label design I will not be impressed.

to the original poster, does your Bobby Woods have "Sheldon" stamped in the deadwax?

Hi Kris

Lets get some other opions, before you chase anyone

Bobby Guitar Wood repro is light green or light blue original demo and Gold stock./issue is Colt 9322.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

ok, & do originals have the word Colt seperated by the horse or below the horse?

I think my white label is actually ok.

I'll dig my Gold stocker out tomorrow and take a picture of it for you, can't do it now as Mrs B. is in bed, but no on the Gold Issue/Stock copy the horse is above Colt rather than splitting the Co and lt.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

perhaps the label design change occured between the wlp & stock copies, could have something to do with the address being crossed out on some promos & then being absent completely on the stock copies?? Of course a wlp with colt written below the horse would screw that theory....

ok, just checked out a bunch on popsike.

I think it goes something like this:

WLP - with Madison address (sometimes crossed out), Sheldon stamp & scratched release number in deadwax (this is consistent with other wlp colt 45s I have but the release number does not match the sequence as my others are 3 digit numbers)

Gold stock - Colt written under the horse, label type/credits similar to wlp (original stock, the gold label matches other gold label CJ related stock 45s I have. If consistent with these this should have the Sheldon stamp in the deadwax also)

off white (light green) stock - Colt written below the horse but with different label credits (original 2nd press??)

the picture which started my panic

off white (light green) promo with the word Colt split by the horse, no label address. Is this a boot or updated version of the wlp? Is it Sheldon stamped?

Are there any other variations?

variations,, i have taken a couple more pics of the colt one hope this helps,

i think i would have brought this in the late 70s, it a long time ago lol

I went back up to my loft and found this one, i think i my have a couple more up there some were.

Re Bobby Woods, you'll find it's evolved into a thread of it's own in the "The Sharp End Of Vinyl" section.

The Freda Payne on Inferno must be comparatively low value, though interestingly the gold/cream vinyl shown is a different take to the norm. I think it's actually the original take before it was amended to help achieve chart success. If I remember correctly there's either an extra verse, or some of the lines are different and it was considered too gloomy. I'm sure there was a thread on it a few years back.
