Guest Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I have seen a copy that is MR stamped, styrene and the label is kind of glossy - is this a boot>? Thanks. B! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

B! link Yes, it was pressed at the Monarch Recording pressing plant and that's what the MR in a circle stands for. Many styrene records came out of this pressing plant, both originals and boots. Luckily, the records were given a delta number which you find in the run out, it looks like a triangle followed by the number. Lots of pressings were done in the early to mid seventies and they are 'given' away by a higher delta number to that of their original sixties release.

Pete S Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Careful with this one though, there's also a brilliant lookalike vinyl boot which is very rare, would pass off as an original except (like the monarch press) it has p.b. in the run off Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
