Help needed please.

I have a stock copy with A-23115-2 ( I would say heavily scratched) in the deadwax  BUT I can't see any other markings although the deadwax does have a few bubbles in it. 10mm deadwax width.

Mr Manship states that the originals have A-23115-2  and also  AT with an S and CR in the deadwax and the bootlegs have A-23116 - SP

I'm a bit confused to say the least!

The stock copy was counterfeited many have been caught out by it...The black and red on label not as deep coloured as original

There have been a few threads here over the years. Most folks have said that all originals have the AT and SRC, although that may have relied on JM's guidance rather than on independent knowledge. A few people have reported that there's a Monarch pressing, but that would have an MR stamp and MO on the label. I saw you'd asked about this a while back and someone said that there are six original variations.

This thread looks most relevant to your copy:

Yes 3 pressing plants involved for the Pointer Sisters 'Send him back' ; Speciality (SP), Monarch (MO) & Plastics (PL). All in all 6 original variations for both promos & stockers.

Has anyone got a scan of the PL pressed issue/stock? Don't think I've ever seen one.   The others are here:
