Hi Guys

Not sure what is going on here, but to me the 1st photo is a boot but the demo lower [2nd] photo could be an proper one?

I think the top black might be a legitimate original, as a pressing plant in The East used that font.  The only thing that might make it obvious that it IS actually a boot is the slanted "Champion".  I can't remember now if the slanted version was legitimate or a boot.  But, I did see many legitimate copies back in the '60s which used that font.

It is a real one. I has one in the past and it was fully verified real deal. It doesn't come up often in this format.

Yes.   I had thought I had seen that version back in the '60s.

Some might find this interesting, David Nathan’s Blues & Soul article from March 1974.

Thanks guys for the info? much appreciated Keith
