Guest geomcewan Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I am trying to obtain an original copy of They're talking about me on Elbejay. I know it's been booted several times so how do I identify the original for certain? I know there is a matrix mark with 3 W's, but where should it be? Also, are the W's "stamped" or scratched, - and is each edge of the letters straight, or curved as in written by hand. If anyone can help I'd be delighted. While Mr Manships book is certainly helpful, I fear it doesn't list every little detail for fear of informing the bootleggers as well. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Abbott Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 they are 'scratched' asnd curved - in fact they look more like '3's. they are written arround each other - so if you look straight on - it looks like a '3' next to an 'm' with a 'w' on top of the 'm'. hope that makes sense!

It does mate. If you hold the record in the DEADWAX Scratched is "001A" If you hold this with "001A" @ 6' O'Clock @ 3 O'clock between the run off tracks there is a mark scratched like this I am in the process of scanning stuff, matrix etc, and I haven't got around to this one yet, but I think you should now have an Idea what you are looking for. The Mark is scratched on both sides of the record. Also The Original did come in a Picture cover if you can find one. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------* BOOT * ----------------* BOOT * This is one of the Boots, Dark Green Label.
