Totally original!

And I think I know a little bit about the compass label having once collected all the releases issues & demos and their british counterparts!

I still think you have to be careful though today with the technology available as new labels can be put on old bootlegs that make them look totally original and the stamps are easy to replicate!

Thanks for that,very much appreciated.Alan

looks original to me but don't both boots and originals have th "H" stamp. Boots are beige/brown, got a boot kicking about here somewhere.

Yes, looks 100% correct to me due to the colour etc.

I didn't have a copy of this ("Original With the "H" Stamp") available to scan for Sharp End.

It is the "H" Stamped DEMO that was counterfeited but the colour isn't quite right

as can be seen from this scan compared to your Original Above.

(The Star is in a Different Position too, Just Noticed)

Thanks for Posting it.

There are 3 different originals. R Stamped, I Stamped and H Stamped. East coast, Mid-West, West Coast. As mentioned already the H stamped was booted.

Presumably at RCA's pressing plants, R = Rockway NJ, I = Indianapolis & H = Hollywood (Flynnies site does have it's uses )
