March 15, 20214 yr FWIW back in the 9T's a blank label boot was made and sold as if it was the Jamaican real deal thing. It was aiming for the London reggae revive crowd as that "soul" side was pretty much in vogue on that scene back then. If ever beware with any 'Jamaican blank' copy that one would propose you and make sure the matrix looks right. Edited March 15, 20214 yr by Tlscapital
March 15, 20214 yr Author Hi Tim, thanks for the info - the copies I've seen have been a mixture of Bronco label and white labels - any idea if any of the white labels are proper 60's test pressings or are they all the 90's boots? Cheers, Chris
March 15, 20214 yr The Bronco's should be all real. The real blank's should be thick vinyl with deep scratched in 'dyna' (-mic) matrix. Old memories can't be more precise than that. If ever I can ask a friend who has the Bronco for a full matrix... Edited March 15, 20214 yr by Tlscapital
March 15, 20214 yr There you go : a stamped one that looks right https://www.discogs.com/Boris-Gardiner-A-Groovy-Kind-Of-Love-More-Than-Words/release/14895426
March 15, 20214 yr Author Ha I was just going to post that as well! Here's one that was on sale on SS a couple of years ago:-
March 15, 20214 yr Author This one was on Craig Moerer's ebay listings, different again https://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/BORIS-GARDINER-A-Groovy-Kind-Of-Love-More-Than-Words-Can-Say-45-Jamaica-st-/303577995215
March 15, 20214 yr Both these copies look "legit" from standing point. From memory the boot label was also too white (not yellowish/wahed out) and shiny instead of mat FWIW. Unlike those blanks/stamps pressings you link here. Although the Bronco labeled copy is shiny and the right/best way to own it IMHO. But am/was a collector...
