http://cgi.ebay.com/Cocodys-Men-Shako-45...1QQcmdZViewItemThis is definitely not an original -- I have two copies of originals and they are color blue labels. These look like crude b/w scans/copies, they didn't even try to do it up proper (the Kebekdisc label NEVER issued white labels like these, I have never seen one in all my years of digging in QC). There's been a rash of these people trying to pass off these boots as OGs, and it's been working -- one of them sold for close to $180 out of Italy. Maybe Mr. Wingate knows something about these boots?

    In the early 90's there was a store in NYC called Downstairs Records that had a couple hundred copies with the photocopied label. I want to say I heard that at some point were responible for the bootleg of that record. That store was known for bootlegging obscure 45's.

    Interesting, they're the shop that licensed the Disco Dub Band 45 too, no? (Although who knows if that was legitimate?)
