hi all, i know this as been done before over the years, saying that couldnt really find much info regards telling the original,price, last original copy was up for offers in 2008?

ok, im not interested in if you love it or hate it lol, just after info regards telling the original from the 70s conterfeit/boot

was this booted more than once?, does the original have just PR-256 1A in the runout as per jms guide?

whats the current value of a original copy in VG+ condition?

it seems that there as been no original copys sold auction via popsike or collectors frenzy

how rare or not rare is this 45?

thanks in advance

Bootleg copies have the letters pb etched on the A-side matrix. 45 discography.

ricky.

Pat Brady was selling one last year, and there was another one kicking about on sales list, not sure if it was in Japan, or Germany, but they were both around the £300-£350 mark from what I can remember.

Pete Smith bought a cracked one for about £90 some time back and sent it back to whence it came for a refund.

Even though you're not interested, I'm gonna tell you anyway - Bloody Love it!

The original has PR-256 IA scratched into the deadwax on the SDOLY side, and PR-255 IA on the flipside.

In addition, diametrically opposite these matrix scratchings, is a tiny letter S also scratched in on both sides. I thought at first it may have been the initial of a previous owner, but it is in the same position on both sides, so is more than likely the mark of the engineer who pressed it, and will therefore be on all copies - would love another owner of this disc to confirm if their copy also has the S on it!

LOVE THIS TRACK!

I did, I forgot all about that, I was gutted but it was obviously cracked when sent to me so why do people do that?
