Troy Dodds - Try My Love - El Camino


Spook

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have been offered a Troy Dodds Demo and I have searched (mans look anyway) on Soul Source for any info about a repress.

I have looked in JM 5th Ed and the record is not in bold therefore no information about a repress.

However going on POPSIKE I found a belgium demo repress,

from the photo's the only difference I can see is, on the repress "Troy dodds' appears to be the

the same width as the record title "TRY MY LOVE' where on the original it is 'Troy Dodds" and fits under the Y & V.

There is also a repress Issue (yellow) this time the artists name is correct Troy Dodds but again it is the same width as the title TRY MY LOVE where the original fits

under the Y & V.

Any further info folks !!

Thanks

David :unsure:

i used to live about 20 miles outside san francisco a couple of years ago

i used to drive down El Camino now and again when i went into the city

i didnt realise untill a came back to the UK that troy dods was on the same El Camino that i used to drive down

i could have looked for the address and had a picture taken next to the sign whistling.gif

when I was last over there, I took Liza on a right jaunt, looking for those Bloody Mountains! never did get there, funny how a 45 can lead you up the garden path!!

Mal

those mountains could have been mount tam where they recon Gary Fisher invented mountain biking

or they could have been montara mountain just outside half moon bay where i didnt invent mountain biking whistling.gif

I have used up all my goes on popsike but there is repress demo on there. I'll try again tomorrow.

Many thanks for the scan Mark.

Hi Spook, you are correct with both the issue and promo being booted.

Both have artist name too big in relation to title as you stated.

Promo boot also has no capital D on surname(ie dodds instead of Dodds)

On the Issue boot the 'El Camino Records' around the label middle does not flow as smooth in it's curvature.

My promo has the DEMAC stamp as Joe mentions, wheras I think Demac BMI is printed as part of the label design on the issue...presumably they must have forgot to add the Demac text to the promo label and so stamped them on afterwards...should imagine all promos will have the stamp if this is the case.

Regards

The issue boots actually read DEMAC BNI (instead of BMI). How someone could make such a glaring mistake when trying to make something look authentic is laughable! laugh.gif

Seeing as we are already on the case of Troy Dodds, is there a price & quantity difference between the demo & issue.

By the way I'm talking about the original :thumbup:

Issue always was harder to track down but think someone found a few a couple of years or so ago. Traded my issue but still have a rather tatty demo I picked up v cheap; great great record IMHO

The issues turned up in the 'West Coast Find' that John Manship/Craig Moerer and a.n. other carved up between themselves.

There were enough issues in 'the find' to make it more common than the demo (I reckon your looking at a 25 count at least).
