Probably been asked on here before - searched but couldn't turn up thread.

How do you tell the recent bootleg / counterfeit from the real thing?

Help appreciated.

Thanks.

was this bootlegged on backbeat years ago?. i did have a vg copy years ago and that was lo-fi compared to the soul city one which in itself came out 2 and a half years after the usa 45. i think its been done recently on backbeat issue and promo with the same label..vinyl is different tho can someone post up the info in the run out on the orig backbeat 45....my copy was vinyl as all backbeat 45`s seem to be but i heard someone say they had a styrene copy?

ive had a few of them and it is a couple of years down the line from the usa release. original vinyl and all that lol

on the recent boot the runout just reads Backbeat 567A & Backbeat 567B. the label is really obvious in real life, the scan is a bit darker than the original & you can see pixels. of course it feels & looks like a modern pressed record.
