I have this 'Test Pressing' for the customer 'Atco'.

Is it real or a fabrication?

Looks good at a glance, but it's really hard to definitely say without having the item in your hand. You need to assess if it seems like it actually is from that era, pen coloring etc, how the label is attached to the record, did you get it from a reputable source etc etc. If it looks too good to be true it may well be, but also I don't know why someone would bother booting those songs anyway, so it could very well be real.

"I don't know why someone would bother booting those songs anyway, so it could very well be real."

That's a good point. Never thought of that. So, good chance it's genuine then. :o)

"Two Time Loser" is brilliant.

Anybody got a scan of this on the Atco release?

Was it ever actually released on Atco?

[Kris Holmes]

Yeah it was released, I don't have it though, it does pop up on ebay from time to time, I think Moerer had it for $30 a while ago but no pic. Good 45, I agree "Two Time Loser" is cool.

just did a ebay search, you can get a Mint DJ copy for $1 here ebay

Thanks NZ. I'll add all this info to the blank white inner sleeve of my Test Pressing.

Hi Dennis,

I've got quite a few of these Atlantic/Atco TP's, in fact I took delivery of my latest one, a one-sided TP of the Drifters "One Way Love", only the other day. The handwriting on the label of that is exactly the same as on your Tarheel Slim, so it would seem to have been added at the time of the TP's manufacuture rather than by some dealer or collector, years later...

Best,

TONY
