RUN OUT GROOVE SIGNATURES

This etchings should authenticate your piece of wax..but beware there´s no 100% certitude cos some of these signatures appear in the dead wax of some later represses too...e.g. these Wild Pitch releases:
12" release of "Main Source - Looking At The Front Door"
12" release of "Gang Starr - Words I Manifest"

..but more often than not there are more clues to say it´s a repress/bootleg or not..for the two 12"´s listed above it´s the catalouge number WPT-.... written on the inner circle of the label revealing it´s a later reissue....here are just some more:

- misprints on label or cover
- print looks blurry
- different catalouge numbers
