Hi everyone,

I came across this eBay auction: 

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/131271255902?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

For reference, the seller added a YT link from an old manship auction on which you can see the label of a promo copy. But the copy for sale is slighty different: the words "plug side" are written without brackets and the "not for sale" mention that appears at a different place.

 

I was tempted to bid on it but in doubt I need your help to identify whether it is an original or is it a rather recent (or old) repro? 

 

Many thanks for your help!

To me that appears to be a west coast styrene copy?

 looks fine to me but couldn't be certain without seeing it in the flesh....

There's one on collectorsfrenzy with an identical label from a seller with a lot of feedback. I've never seen one on styrene, though.

The one above is a genuine Monarch-pressed demo. Quite a hard-to-find variant.

The bootleg has the instrumental of "Ain't Got The Love" on the flip, titled "Ambassadors Theme".

 

As far as I know there is no boot of "Ain't…" c/w "Music".

Thanks guys!
