Galliant Gallant Boot Or Not

[posstot]

HELLO PEOPLE....I NEED TO VALIDATE A BOOT FROM AN ORIGINAL...THE DISC I AM TALKING OF IS "LITTLE JIMMY RAY YOU NEED TO FALL IN LOVE GALLANT" WHICH I HAVE JUST PURCHASED, I PAID 35 SQUID FOR A VG COPY ASSUMING IT WAS AN ORIGINAL.

THEN AT BARNSLEY TED ASKS ME IF IT WAS AN ORIG OR A BOOT, "I HAD NO IDEA IT HAD BEEN BOOTED". EITHER WAY HE EXPLAINED THAT THE ORIG IS INFACT ON GALL"I"ANT, THAT THIS IS HOW TO TELL WHICH IS TH'ORIG LIKE. AND THWICH IS BOOT MON.ARE YOU WI ME?(WWWHHOOOAH I WENT ALL WIGAN THEN)

ON ASKING ABOUT THIS FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE DISC, HE WENT ON A FACT FINDING MISSION ON HIS SIDE OF THINGS....CLAIMING THAT HE HAD SOLD A GOOD FEW COPIES AS ORIG(LIKE MINE) THAT HE WASN'T AWARE OF IT BEING BOOTED/RE-ISSUED REPROED OR WHATEVER. IN TURN I EXPLAINED WHAT I'D BEEN TOLD(BY THIS TIME "TWICE" INFACT BY ANOTHER KNOWLEDGABLE DEALER/COLLECTOR AT LOWTON [ sorry if you are reading this, i forgot your name..again..short term memory loss problem]).

NOW, I AM NOT HOLDING ON TO THE FACT THAT MINE ISNT A BOOT,COS IVE BOUGHT ONE, I GENERALLY FEEL THAT THE FIDELITY OF MY COPY(GALLANT/supposidly the boot)IS SO STRONG THAT IT IS TOO GOOD FOR A REPRO/BOOT RE-ISSUE PANCAKE CREPE OR WHATEVER.

I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM SAID SUPPLIER, ASSURING ME THAT, THRU HIS SOURCES THE GALLANT COPY IS NOT A BOOT, AND MERELY A LABELING/FACTORY ERROR AND IT HAS NOT BEEN COPIED WHATEVER WAY.

EITHER WAY, IF YOU KNOW THIS IS A BOOT, CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME HOW YOU KNOW AND VALIDATE ONES REASONS, THEN WE CAN SOLVE THE MYSTERY UNFOLDING BEFORE MY VERY EYES AND EARS.

AT THE MO, BECAUSE OF THE STRENGTH OF FIDELITY, AND THE ARGUMENT PUT AGAINST, I AM SLIGHTLY LEANING TO THE MIS PRESS STORY...TED FOR THIS I APOLOGISE AND THE CHAP IN THE CIVIC HALL WHOS NAME EVADES ME AT THE MO, YET I NEED PROOF EITHER WAY...

(BY THE WAY THE CHAP IN LOWTON IS A BIG LAD WITH A BOX OF UNADULTERATED LOW DOWN DIRTY SEXY SUMPTUOUS TONGUE FLICKING SIXTIES 7 INCHS OF THROBBIN SOUL MUSIC ORIGINALS...BY FAR THE BEST BOX OF GOODIES ANYWHERE AROUND) AND I THINK I LOVE HIM.

SO BACK TO THE POINT, WHO KNOWS DIFFERENT...SO FAR THE ARGUMENT IS LYING 50/50,

SOMEBODY HELP ME.

MIKE.

Can't see this as a boot

Nice record but not really the sort you would expect to be booted---unless it's been through the hands of the Belgian popcorn scene

The only copies i have seen have been on Gallant

id given up on this john...thanks for your reply...gallant is what i thought was the original,but as i wrote earlier it is claimed galliant is the orig....again the sound quality is tooooo good for a press me thinks. either way its what i now have and i'll be sticking with it....

thanks j.p Mike

I have a few records on Gallant and seen other stuff on Galliant so no need to panic and not bad for £35 if it plays ok.

I must add. After hearing an original copy...the gallant issue isn't as strong fidelity as i first thought..o.k when it gets into it, yet the run in is a bit noisy.(was, as i sold mine on).
