Going back into the Soul Source archives I see a few threads about this record. It wasn't clear to me which one(s) are boots. If I understand it correctly the top 2 are originals and the one underneath is a boot ? A yes or no would be good ! 

 

On mine run-out has small 66BY264-1 and LW plus a very very small marking I can't read. 

That's right ! Top 2 originals, bottom boot !

Yes.  The above 2 are different pressing plant pressings of the original.  The bottom is a late 1970s boot pressed up at the same plant around the same time as The Magnificents on Dee Gee, and several others with that same font and label design.

Thanks guys, can now sell with a clear conscience

Hold it, the top right one was also booted identical to that picture.  Didn't realise that for years.  But it was, 100% definite.

Didn't it also come out on a gold Broadway label or am I getting mixed up with something else.  Steve

Yes that's the stock copy.  No doubts about that one.

Just to add to this, that boot that Rob pointed out, was actually done around late 1973 / early 1974, it was in the main record dealer's boxes during the very early days at Wigan. Along with the 'Patience Valentine' "You can't tell the good guys from the bad" on Real Soul (Edie Walker) and Dana Valery "You don't know where your interest lies" on Pussycat

We did a little topic about these bootlegs a few weeks back, might have just been me and Ian D doing it, there was also Magnificents My Heart Is Calling and Stanley Mitchell get It Baby and a couple of others from the same source.  Turns out it was the same typeface as the Sandy Golden record!

Last November is when that all started Pete, yep Simon S indeed!
