Garethx Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The red one is the first stock copy. The re-issue or bootleg is on a blue version of the later 'chrome' type Turbo label. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Is the blue one a boot, i was told it was just a later issue?? Ste. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Is the blue one a boot, i was told it was just a later issue?? Ste. Boot/legal reissue - whatever - came out in early 76, I think it's a legit reissue personally...but then there was a white label with black lettering that is extremely dodgy, came out a couple of years later.

Guest woolie mark Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) thanks for the advice i wanted a cheap one to play at home, but thought there was a proper reissue (i thought there was a "photostat pressing" of the original - and the other colour label was a reissue) i obviously don't want a boot - might as well just burn a cd! obviously not as simple as i thought so it's the blue one i want then?

I think the blue one is a definite legit reissue from All Platinum, on the label it says Platinum record Co 1976 so they obviously pressed it themselves.

soulfulsaint Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 ...You could buy a copy of 'Funky Eight Corners' by Willie and the MIghty Magnificents on All Platiunum they were a Turbo house band working with the notorious Sylvia Robinson. The song is very similar to Ton of Dynamite and arguably is a different studio mix from the same sesssion. Frankie 'Hollywood' Crocker was a big New York DJ of the era who was in fact a front man for the track and then nicknamed the Love Man.

Stuart Bower Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The red one is the first stock copy. The re-issue or bootleg is on a blue version of the later 'chrome' type Turbo label. What about the WHITE & BLACK (fake demo) bootleg? The blue one isn`t a bootleg-it`s a second issue. The red,white and black one (as you say) is the original!

Jordirip Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 top tip! will check that out cheers I'd vouch for this. Funky 8 corners is virtually the same record as Frankie Crocker, and for £25 for an orig it makes sense to get get it while you can. The 'A' side is a bit of a "party" version with vocal shouts and laughter which is mixed way too high, but the flip is the instrumental Frankie Crocker deal.

Stuart Bower Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) That looks like this YEP YOU GOT IT! THAT`S The Bootleg!!! As was mentioned earlier...... The blue,black and white ones are the 2nd issues. The ORIGINAL is the Red White and black label. But the one shown in your piccie is definitely the boot!!!
