Pete S Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I always thought that the vinyl copies of Voices Of East Harlem - Cashing In with the different label designs were bootlegs, but this one I've got has a very clear Bell Sound stamp in the run off - so are they real?

Northernguy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 According to JM guide the bell sound stamp is fake. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 According to JM guide the bell sound stamp is fake. I'd have to say he's wrong - it's a perfect Bell Sound stamp Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Prophonics 2029 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I had both and think they were the same stamp...both Bell. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 ON that past article, there are photos of two Bell Sound stamps, the one on this one is 100% real Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 ON that past article, there are photos of two Bell Sound stamps, the one on this one is 100% real Have you seen this: Compare the angles of the line in the "B" on your copy to the ones in the link above. If it is like the "B" on the styrene original, then I guess the vinyl one you have is original too. I'd love to have that one if so. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Okay I have used a magnifiying glass and although the print is way, way more defined than on that photo, it is the bootleg not the original, very very good stamp but not quite right Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gointoagogo Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 They are very similar but I think the difference in the "s" is easier to spot- as already said - what a lot of work to produce a boot Have you seen this: Compare the angles of the line in the "B" on your copy to the ones in the link above.

Too bad though, it would be great if this existed on vinyl. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
