Johnny Howard The Chase Is On

[Adav90]

Hello, Can anyone help me out with the identification marks/features of the record johnny howard the chase is on. I've seen a couple of issues with just a green label and some the a multi-coloured border, are they both originals as ive seen a bootleg with the green label?? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

The plain green label styrene is the mid '70s bootleg. There is a green label styrene issue which is genuine but has the multi-coloured ring to the outer of the label.

The green label boot uses basically the wrong master number: BA-16631 SP. This number corresponds to the Specialty pressed version of the record, which should be on vinyl.

The genuine styrene issue should be BA-16631 MO, denoting that it was pressed by Atlantic at Monarch.

There are also demos and issues pressed by Atlantic at Plastic Products, which should have master number BA-16631 PL.

The genuine Monarch pressed WDJ copy doesn't have a Bashie logo, just "Bashie Records" with "The Sound of Chicago" in smaller plain type above the word Bashie.
