Comments:

A pirate copy of Joe Pope's third Deccagone single, from a new stamper. This title is the most difficult to differentiate between the pirate/fakes issues without looking at the matrices, with the label being used on different pirates.

However if you are one of the many Deccagone vinyl collectors the vinyl colour rather than pressing is more important.

Original Comments:

The third release of Decca material from the fan club label. As with the other singles in the series it remained core material until 2007 for those brief seconds of canter not previously copied until a the needle drop expert Dr Ebbetts located a prime set and made an excellent transfer on his new Decca release The Decca Audition.

As with all Deccagone titles there are multiple fakes, some using stampers made from the original master. Unfortunately some pirate labels have been used for different stampers, so the only way to differentiate between them is the matrix. Thankfully the unique font on the Genuine Joe Pope release with 'NOT FO SALE' having LH justification is very easy to identify.
