Philly Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Any info on this being booted, I have searched and can find nothing suggesting or confirming that it has ... Thanks Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Woodbutcher Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Counterfeit copy using the original demo label design ... nearly. The repro label is incorrectly reproduced with no "sound hole" in the guitar that the Red Bird is playing , unlike every other Red Bird 45 out there. Original demos and issues both in Styrene , whereas the repro is pressesd on Vinyl. Originals with Delta # 57319 and a large raised 'X' in the runout ( large 'X' from the Shelley Products Ltd plant in Huntingdon station N.Y. that pressed up Red Birds 45's. Repros with "AR - 44650 - A" in the run-out , a number that in no way corresponds to the 1965 release. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Philly Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Yes have been told all this on FB too .. but this is styrene not vinyl Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Cover-up Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Why would this be booted? Great record, but surely never been in enough demand to merit a boot? Are there not Red Bird records on vinyl, but Canadian pressings? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Records don't just revolve round the Northern Soul scene. Could've been done for another collecting scene???? Plenty of cheap and readily available records bootlegged, or more accurately counterfeited. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I would imagine the West Coast press with the delta number isn't pressed at Shelley but at Monarch or Alco? The Shelley press, East Coast? has an Audio Matrix stamp in the run out. Edited January 3, 2017 by chalky 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

In the USA most of Red Bird biggest sellers had issues in different pressing plants and some on vinyl as well, so not only that 'come back baby' by Roddie Joy.

Garethx Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Chapel of Love by the Dixie Cups, the labels biggest-seller. Other than that I can't think of any others. Edited January 3, 2017 by garethx Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tlscapital Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I use to kinda collect them Shangri-Las when I was a teen and remember having seen a few Red Bird records back then that were OVO vinyl.

Garethx Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I've just looked at 45 cat and the only one I can see is "Chapel of Love" pressed at Columbia-Terra Haute. Even "Leader of the Pack" appears only on styrene pressed at Shelly, at Monarch and at Columbia-Pittman. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The top scan on 45cat is described as vinyl. The person who added the scan mentions in the comments below that it is the first and only vinyl Red Bird 45 he has seen. I've no reason to doubt what others have said regarding the vinyl issue. Canadian are vinyl as well apparently.

Cover-up Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 This keeps getting stranger and stranger... When I first replied to this topic I was merely surprised the title had been counterfeited, but decided to dig out my copy for a look. My copy is an issue, with a strong yellow label and... it's on VINYL! Run-out grooves have LS-1113 etched in, with nothing else. The red colouring on the bird has shonky registration, but the Red Bird logo text is crisp and sharp. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Blurry it makes me think of these old Ric-Tic bootlegs made in the 7T's. I can't quite make up if it's an old bootleg made for the beach scene or something else really. I've dug out my styrene now to see the if the matrix match or not. My run-out groove is smaller/narrower and the handwriting is different...

45cellar Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yes I know that. My point was that very often when bootlegs or counterfiets are made the quality lacks in one way or another. I was looking to more common records for comparison of manufacture. Vinyl and Styrene. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I can't help thinking something doesn't look right with the vinyl issue of the record in question. The bird just doesn't look right running off the inner edge of the label. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

45cellar Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The actual bird and guitar appear to have been printed in red and then over printed black on the guitar leaving a red glow down one side.
