I have a white label copy that i acquired pretty cheaply. does anyone know if this was booted, and (if so) how one would tell? 

As far as I know... this was never booted. There was a "re-issue" on After Dark  with the Seven Souls (?) on the

flip side.  What label do you have it on- Atco or Vent ?

mine is on ATCO. i can post a pic when i get home (stuck in LAX airport)

is it a mono/stereo demo 'cuss the issue has the sublime 'let me prove that i love you' on the flip?

Should be styrene

Yes and no , The Dynells " Let me prove that I love you " on a white Atco plug side type demo was done back to back with Vivian Reed's " Save your love for me "  in an ATCO record sleeve. the vinyl is vinyl and not styrene and the label is slightly smaller than the label plinth . " Call on me " was not done. regards , Simon.

here it is. got it for $40.

 

has "let me prove that i love you" on flip

looks alright to me ( why would atco demo's be on styrene? surely they're all vinyl???)

Have to concur with Mr.Pugh on that , how are you John ?

Real .. and the rarest format on atco.... the issue on that design is real tough... tougher than vent actually.. it's 1968 so no mono stereo promo all variations on atco have both sides on

It has a proper stamp on it from memory.. but I haven't got my copy to hand

I agree with the consensus, the record in the picture is a 100% original Atco. 

Atco/Atlantic used about 4 different pressing plants so there can be variations between originals. 

NICE ONE!

The wdj copy Ive had for many years seems identical top this one. It looks like two double decker buses decided to use it for an ice skating rink, yet it sounds great in a club, it's in my collections "top 3 worst looking records that play great"
