Anyone tell me how to spot the difference between the original andthe 70s boot on smoke

Steve

Apparently the 76 boot is a pretty close resemblance ,The Styrenes are boots blue and yellow also labels have a shiny appearence.

Deffinate originals have the tinyest matrix on Both sides which looks like a B and the edges of the record are sharp.

Be careful on jpgs the shiny surface on boots are a bit like that car paint in that when moved to a different angle takes on a different hugh eg green blue not solid blue if you get me?

There are almost exact copies of the real ones the best way to tell if it has a "Pb"in the runout grooves that the boot, Salvadors and Johnny Vannelli are similar.Think it was K R that did them

Who's "K R" and isn't bootlegging, i.e. stealing someone elses work illegal? I think we should be told, name and shame I say, stop hiding behind initials if you know.

The view from the moral high ground is just luvverley!

2 boots on styrene. 1 blue and 1 yellow. 1 boot on vinyl blue label with p.b. in runout.

original on vinyl no p.b. and the run in grooves about 3 mil wider but all seen together

orig looks well "grander" if yer know what i mean
