Hi Guys

Recently purchased an original copy of Larry Hale.My copy is on Diamond and is a nice deep blue/ Green label on Vinyl moulded label.Im aware of a lookalike counterfeit. MY COPY The matrix details are

D 203 A (Note: no dash between the 203 and the A) scratched in the deadwax.

The fakes are a lighter blue/green colour and even though they have the drill hole, the deadwax details are D 203 - A (Note the - [dash] between the 203 and the A).

SO it looks like mine is a goodun and im happy with it but its unusual because the Once side has no artist or title credits just a blank Diamond label.The Polly Wolly A side is as normal.(See pics below).

HAS Anyone out there had a similar copy or is this one a freak where they have mistakenly put a blank label on during the pressing process.

 

 

That brings back memories. Had one just like it in the 70's, long since gone. Nice one.

Tim was yours a blank label on the Once side as well

It looks to me as just an Ink problem when they were overprinting the labels I reckon ?

THANKS Tim not just a one off then a small batch must have been put out with no credits

My Kurt Harris Flip side 'B' side as well suffered the same fate ! Not an empty ink printer tank I believe. More likely a total overlooked batched of pre-printed labels not going to the credit prints and mixed with the credits print ones to the press stage.
