Pete S Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 This one? Never seen that before...but isn't the other one West Coast anyway? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Never seen that before...but isn't the other one West Coast anyway? No, the dark blue one (with the raised-backwards-S-in-a-circle matrix stamp) was pressed in New York by Shelley Products. Same plant that pressed Shrine 45s etc. Edited March 3, 2009 by Sebastian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
davidwapples Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 thats the other design not seem many of them around i had the normal blue design i got for 40 £ from ebay and took me ages to move it in trades for about 75 in the end great tune Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Rich B Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 thats the other design not seem many of them around i had the normal blue design i got for 40 £ from ebay and took me ages to move it in trades for about 75 in the end great tune I had both of the blue designs but I also had a white one with the reverse 'S' tamp too. For years I thought that was the original. A local supplier (choosing my words carefully) had a limited quantity of dubious white copis, so when the stamped white one turned up I just assumed it was 'the one' then got the dark blue one, then the royal blue 'paper' demo. Plenty of choice then - almost as many originals as "Tainted love"! Regards, RB Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Regards, RB My copy has a white label on styrene, bought C.1976 I think. (I'm assuming it's OK as I got it from Mick Flello who bought them back from the States, along with mint copies of Connie Clark, Epitome of Sound demos etc.) BUT what's the difference between a white label original and this "dubious" white labeled bootleg I'm only just hearing about??

The white boot has quite thick vinyl (not styrene) and a dip towards the middle - same as Dave Newman, Anderson bros 1st press etc. They were passed off as originals - I paid £8 for it which was still a lot of money in 76 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The white boots are the same as the early Anderson brothers and several other including Timothy Wilson "I must love you", Dave Newman "Make up your mind", Sandra Phillips "World without sunshine" wdj plus some others. Coarse vinyl, with a ridge around the middle of the label. The Anderson brothers were even sold on the GSF sleeve. They are a different batch entirely to the clever Soussan boots with PB on the run out. Very common around Nottingham once upon a time. With the exception of Tim Wilson, which was black on pale blue, everything done was black on white to keep it simple I expect. They weren't particularly numerous in the grand scheme of things. Pete S is right, normally sold for about £8 a copy. Some friends got burnt because they believed the dealer rather than me, hey ho! RB.

Guest mel brat Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) All this info is yet another reason to hate bootlegs! So it's the Soussan bootleg that's closest to mine then? I assume mine's OK, as I said - but you never know... and were they "common around Nottingham" because of Selectadisc I wonder?? Yes, £8 certainly was a fair bit to get ripped off for in 1976.
