Simsy Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) I couldn't decide if this looked real or fake. The lines on the label don't seem to go to the edge on the right hand side - only demo I'd seen where they didn't?

It's not a demo (hence no 'Not For Sale' on the label) what it is, IMO, is a copy the original white label release which was disributed alongide the 4 colour label release. Regards..

Reg Scott Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 It's listed as a 'DJ copy'. Wow a white dj copy that isn't a demo eh? Like I said in the first post, IMO, it's not demo but a genuine 1st issue release. I guess the guy selling it listed it as a demo because it's white rather than the 4 colour release. So, no not a white dj copy that isn't a demo just a release with a white label Best.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Reg Scott Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I wonder how it stacks up in the rare-ability/desirability stakes? Comapred with the issue & demo.. Im not sure mate but they don't turn up as often. I think this label was distributed less widely than the coloured issue. For me, I like the coloured issue, just for aesthetic reasons, but I'd guess this is the more rare. I'm sure somebody else will have a bit more info/insight but for £65 it doesn't seem too bad.

Guest Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Surely the only way to own this is a near mint 45 in the stunning (as close to mint as you'll get) sleeve: This could be yours, for oh say £80 inc postage etc etc Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Reg Scott Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yep, that's the best way to own this record with that advertising sleeve, used to promote a shoe company, and with the very stylish 'toto' multi-coloured label. Very pretty! Regards.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rich Buckley Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I remember a certain Mace using the sleeve design as a flyer for one of the R & Soul set rallies in late 80s/early 90s. Mace, get it up chief! Rich Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mace, get it up chief! Rich Haven't got any of those old RSS flyers mate....did I make a proper record sleeve out of it with a record flyer inside? Must have had far too much time on my hands if so I've still got the proper sleeve somewhere, and the promo 45, which I bought off Blondie from Stoke with a copy of Doug Banks at the same time.....20+ years ago Remember hearing them both for the first time played back to back by Stu Wilkinson (Newcastle) at an allnighter in Leeds. Anyone know if Stu Wilkinson is still around ? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Rich Buckley Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yeah, it's a mono photocopy of both sides of the promotional sleeve with the 45 in it and inside the physical sleeve is the following flyer.... I would have scanned the whole sleeve (not just the inner) but it's cellotaped (20 year old!) to the inside lid of my first ever 300 record box with other flyers attached to it with tape and it'll rip if I do. Just out of interest the other flyers were for The Raven in Whichurch (Jonny Beggs and Pep on - happy days!) and the North Wales Soul Club's New Years Day alldayer 1990 with Roger Banks on and the usual N.Wales suspects - Mark Bicknell, Chico, Mark Speakmen, Chris Fenny, Phil Blacknell etc. Happy days! So what year was Clacton?? Rich Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
