and its on plastic as opposed to styrene original.is it a boot or a genuine re issue from when it first went massive.coz if its a fake bell sound stamp they could have done it with hundreds of others but they havent :thumbsup:

I have a copy of the vinyl issue. It was the Bell stamp that made me unsure as to whether this was a boot.

How can people tell that the stamp is fake? Is the OG Bell stamped aswell?

The vinyl copy shown above is most definitely a dirty rotten bootleg. Produced by the same fella who initially booted the Carstairs on Red Coach, (Bob Catteneo?), C.1975 I think, and distinguished by the very poor quality printing on the labels of both.

Doesnt the original have two different looking lables?

I think you're right, but the differences are small compared to the bootleg copies.

Many Thanks for the Information.

I've always sort of assumed that it was a BOOT.

Strange having a "Bell Sound" Stamp, I'm now wondering how this was achieved.

Did they copy the Stamp I wonder,

or use the facilities available with access to a Genuine Stamp, but still Obviously a BOOT.

IT'S A PROPER RE-PRESS DONE BY THE COMPANY OBVIOUSLY FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTERPLATES

I just did a close comparison between the "Bell Sound" stamp on my original styrene issue copy and the photos of the bootleg/second issue that has been posted above. The stamps are VERY similar but they are different and both records can not have been pressed from the same stampers. For example: look at how the "line" in the letter "B" leans differently in each of the scans below.

These are Excellent, Thanks Sebastian.

Does show the Difference Clearly, The STAMP must have been quite a lot of trouble to make, no doubt.

In the Case of "The Voices Of East Harlem" ALL THAT AND THEN A POOR LABEL for the BOOT.

I wonder if any other records have this fake Stamp :thumbsup:
