I was gifted a few tunes over the weekend----including a copy of George Blackwell---Can,t loose my head

I know its been on here before but i cant for the life of me remember how to tell the difference between the boot and the orig

Anyone help?

Steve

Sorry that should read "Cant lose my head"-----still full of pop & crisps

Originals have a very small capital B in the deadwax ( both sides of disc).

Very very nice gift if it's a 'real' one!

Julian

Ta for that ---yes it has

First boot is vinyl and a very good look alike but has PB in the run off. Second boot is styrene (also has PB in run off). Third boot is yellow and on vinyl. I think there is a 4th, also yellow, at the wrong speed.

this is vinyl---theres no pb in the runoff---thanks for the help

I sold one on ebay last year, might still be up on popsike. It was a bit weird what it went for, a near mint copy and it fetched less than a tatty vg a week later! Here it is

I've got a blue-labelled styrene press, with no capital B's, no scratched PB's but clear MR stamps on both sides.

Another boot I take it?

Sorry Barry, yes it is.

Oh well.

Cheers fella.

I bought one off Pat Brady's list for £15 way back in the day. Blue label, maybe silver writing, styrene IIRC. One night at Stafford years later Pete Lawson found it in my salesbox and told me that not only was it a boot, it was he and a mate who booted it in the 70's.

Later when I mentioned this to Pat, he reckoned I, Pete or both of us must have been "mistaken"...

The 1st boot is the one done by Pete Lawson and Chris Fletcher - faded yellow one sided, this is the faster version, I'll post a copy up later on tonight.

If it had a shiney dark blue label with the odd air bubble, that's the one I had. I now remember it had that MR stamp.

The 4th one is white plain label with black writing - I know this for sure because I was half responsible for it and played at 48rpm along with the Marsha gee at the same speed. How naughty was I then in those days and Broadway Sissy was going to be next but I bottled it!
