Tlscapital Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) 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.

Chris Turnbull Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tlscapital Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) 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...

Chris Turnbull Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 OK thanks - so some of the blanks are real then? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tlscapital Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Yes logically. Could or should be but I've not seen any... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chris Turnbull Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Ha I was just going to post that as well! Here's one that was on sale on SS a couple of years ago:- Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chris Turnbull Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tlscapital Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 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... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
