Atlantic 45-2590 - Sam & Dave - Soul Sister, Brown Sugar

[45cellar]

General Question Relating To The Style Of Atlantic DEMO's

These have the same DEADWAX,

UPPER CASE FONT

However the bottom scan has a faint Matrix Stamp "Specialty Records Corp."

Upper & Lower Case Font

I am assuming that these were made around the same time.

Anyone know if every release number was distributed from different pressing plants.

Could it depend on DEMAND etc

then there`s a west coast distributed copy with another slight label variation on styrene with a delta stamp. like most late 60`s atlantic/atco pressings

Hi Dave

Considering the West Coast Monarch release for "Soul Sister, Brown Sugar" as well.

Are we looking at Various Pressing Plants producing a copy of each release however successful, throughout the Labels Catalogue.

So at least one other DEMO for this release, for Instance.

The following Stax, ATLANTIC Distribution are from two different pressing plants.

WENDY RENE - BAR-B-Q

yes, just different plants for distribution in different areas, standard practice for the time with the "big" labels/records. No real difference in authenticity IMO.

Many Thanks, it's brilliant to compare, I will scan my flip sides later.

Now we have the Internet we can see the designs & variations,

sometimes in the past simply listed as DEMO or W/D.
