the different version of "DONT LEAD ME ON" on red thelma from the stock everyday release, is the matrix different? i have one with labels reversed is this unussual or am i just being over optomistic as ever!!! ezzie

Didn't know there were different versions apart from the bootleg with the alt take pressed as a WD

Didn't we have this a while back? Alt version of 'don't lead me on' not by EL. Think it's the one on SoulClub. Chalky knows.

It is a different mix, you can tell by the matrix, most have "Nashville Matrix", the alt. one has this and "Bell Sound"

or the other way around.

Yes there are two mixes on the release John discovered a difference early last year. You cloearly here the difference if you pplay them one after another but I defy anyone to know by just hearing one at a venue.

He now lists them in his price guide at substantialy different prices. The deadwax markings are different but cant be precise from memory. The one that John now calls the "1st Mix" has the wrong matrix number scratched out - this number is one higher than it should be and is replaced by the 'right' number.

I did ask a while back, with no joy, how John could know which was the first mix?

IMO if the higher matrix number was added by mistake, then scratched out and lowered by one, this would indicate that this was infact the "second" mix as the person preparing the stampers would have done so by first applying the next available matrix number surely? This implies the one without the scratched out matrix was done first.

The detail is in John last price guide but I'm working away from home at the moment so can't check that or my copies.

Anyway here are two mixes as well as the white boot. I'm not aware of any with reversed lables though.

No Tony they are both Nashville matrix stamped but the order of this stamp the 'ARP' stamp and the matix number change.

as i only one copy i cant make a judgement as i dont keep priceguides either so ill just keep it till i get a definative answer from some honest well clever geezer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyone seen one with labels reversed?or are they all like it?

Because he knows everything
