Hi there, just wondering if my Laura Lee To Win Your Heart is legit or not, its a WD but with no matrix stamped, I compared it to my Freddie Gorman WD it has different type setting and that has matrix stamped.

Have asked about this over years and was told in past the demo was not booted, however this looks very fishy.

If needed I can put up scan tomorrow,

TIA

Here is the White DEMO & Stock Copy, both purchased from Soul Bowl.

Both have the same Matrix Number ("ZTSC - 107550") - Lightly Scratched in.

On the White DEMO (which incidently has a Shiny Label) there is a "T I" Opposite to the Matrix Number.




I will try to Photograph the Matrix, but it is very lightly Scratched in.

Regarding the FREDDIE GORMAN Record

-ZTSC scratched matrix & "Bell Sound" Stamped

-ZTSC stamped matrix

Ric-Tic did have a few different Layout, Font, Colours

here is a >>> LINK to our Ric-Tic Label Scan Project at Hitsville <<<

Shows the different Variations. They settled on RED / BLACK from RT-105 to RT-119

then they changed to Turquoise / Gold from RT-120

Thanks Roger, as accurate and helpful as ever mate, love your enthusiasm for this side of stuff.

Oh well pleasant surprise it looks like it is real, have had it for about 29 years so makes a nice change for things that I bought around then!

Mine's like this with the matrix scratched in. Came from a very reliable dealer, so should be 'kosher'

its an original jock.....laura lee didnt have a stamped "ztsc" number, only a scratched in (handritten) one, on both issues & demos, both issues & demos were on styrene, the boot was an issue pressed on vinyl, no boots of demos

Cheers guys, nice to reverse the recent trend of 3 45's I had always thought of as originals having to be moved to the boots corner (small but still appreciated corner that it is!) recently due to Mr Manships peskily accurate and informative boots guide.

A Minefield this collecting game, I'm pleased that it was good news on this occasion.

I still enjoy listening to the Ric-Tic stuff, an amazing Label.
