Second go at this, something odd happened first go . . .

I stumbled upon an ebay auction for She'll Come Running Back on a Blue and Yellow FIP label. It was listed as an original. I was under the impression that was a 2nd issue at most. Anyone shed any light? Can't seem to find the listing now.

Original is blue & yellow but so is looky likey boot

Ah, makes sense now. Always assumed mine was a boot. Any defining features to the original?

Original is a tint towards orange and the dead wax, stamped matrix looky real to me.

Boot has a white edge to the label and no stamped matrix, original is styrene.

Thanks for that.

The 1st boot is also Styrene and has a stamped matrix,although this a bit out of line.

The 70s styrene boot has a stamped ZTSC matrix.....the matrix on the original is upside down!

Excellent way to tell the difference. ALL the boots have the white edging (rim) around the outside of the label, and a less orangish tint in the yellow. It's easy to spot the difference both in the vinyl and the styrene boots.

Lots of info, thanks to all.
