How can u tell the difference between the 70s press and a real un ? Any tips would br appreciated...

The underneath of the black 'leg' to the right of the chap should have a bit missing, like a half circle. The boots have a continuous smooth black leg

look in the run out there should be a faint stamp in the shape of a bed that's the original, the 70's pressings don't have it

right daz, one of the best counterfeits, on the original, hold the KARATE logo at 12:00 o,clock. in the 4 o,clock position, there is an etched number, that reads 45 - 524B

at 7o'clock there is a stamp, that resembles  two letter L's best decribed as a bed, then at 10 o'clock , a three letter word, that reads cud, or something like that, you will need a magnifying glass to read it though.

also the eyes are missing, on the set my heart at ease side.

i had this on the decks friday night at pete smiths, please listen to the latest mixcloud, a great collection of originals played (robbo)

Hi there, the first obvious thing is that the original is machine stamped both sides in the dead wax with what looks like a small wiggly rectangle. On both sides the record number in the deadwax is at 9 o'clock to the machine stamped wiggly rectangle. The numbers in the deadwax - COULD IT BE side are 45-425A and SET MY HEART AT EASE side are 45-524B. The deadwax width on A side is approx 13mm, the deadwax width on the B side is approx 11mm. The outer edge of the vynil record on the run in is very slight rounded. I also recall there being a mention of a difference of the figure in the Karate outfit between the original and the boot ? All I have noticed looking at my original is that the face (eyes/nose/mouth) of the figure appears to be missing on the SET MY HEART AT EASE side but not on the COULD IT BE side. Hope this all helps
