Chalky Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Doesn’t look like the one I remember nor like the one on discogs or 45cat. The text on the right on yours is right aligned, other scans it isn’t, all centre aligned. The font doesn’t look right either… Discogs (one on 45 cat has green font) 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Woodbutcher Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) That's a badly handcut label , probably stuck on the Outta Site boot for some silly vanity thing. Zoom in on the cutout round the centre. Edited June 12, 2023 by Woodbutcher 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Trev Thomas Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) looking at the poor quality label and print and spelling mistake on the time z instead of 2 could be a jamaican press possibly done in very small quantity by coxone for his sound systems Edited June 13, 2023 by Trev Thomas Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
