Guest martyn Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Nice, I was begining to think this was an urban myth as I've personally never seen one
Davetay Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Nice, I was begining to think this was an urban myth as I've personally never seen one I think there where quite a few of us that want to the Mecca at the this was played, that had The Players (Cameo) "Find My Way" demo. I never knew that people thought it was a urban myth.
golborne soul Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 i think this one ..asked around & nobody as seen it ..has i only collect demo's it's the only one i've ever seen ... & it's for sale 1
Gene-r Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Old as this post is, so apologies if I've already mentioned it ('cos I can't be assed ploughing through it), but I think white demos of "Every Now and Then" by Cletus Marland on Geneva have got to be up there with the rarest white demos. I think Mark Bicknell had my copy (only one I'd seen or know of) when I sold it - am I right, Mark? Edited September 16, 2011 by Gene-R
Tony Smith Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Does it mention DJ copy anywhere, it just looks washed out to me? Superlatives that is! Edited September 16, 2011 by Tony Smith

I never knew that people thought it was a urban myth. Honestly Dave , I've never seen one !.........Mind you, I dont spend half my life looking through boxes like I used to do. How often do they come up & how much ?
Tony A Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Does it mention DJ copy anywhere, it just looks washed out to me? Superlatives that is! Was thinking the same, looks like my faded blue issue.
soulsalmon Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Teresa lindsay -its love -correct tone wd

Pauldonnelly Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 andy smith has a w/d of the superlatives, and yes he is a bastard..lol
KevH Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Ian D Is the Sandra Richardson in your possesion Ian? I won one one ebay once,white demo on the scan.Arrived,,its orange.Only wanted it if it was white.Seller's answer - bad scan.Oh well........

Pete S Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 err...Tim....I never yet seen a W/D of the Superlatives ,could you put up a label scan,and also whilst on the subject of W/D mmos,it would be nice to drool over the Gwen Owens if you still have it ? thanks, Rob. I had one up for sale on here last year and the general opinion was that it was a pale blue one that had somehow got washed out just leaving white
Pete S Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 andy smith has a w/d of the superlatives, and yes he is a bastard..lol Think Andy had the one I was selling
Soul Shrews Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Nice, I was begining to think this was an urban myth as I've personally never seen one I think there where quite a few of us that want to the Mecca at the this was played, that had The Players (Cameo) "Find My Way" demo. I never knew that people thought it was a urban myth. Yes but this isn't a demo its just a regular issue that was withdrawn/changed when The Players were made to change their name under pressure from The Ohio Players Cheers Paul
Monkey Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I had the blue issue for about 10 years before buying this in the early 90s, I hadn't seen the white dj before then.
Premium Stuff Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I had the blue issue for about 10 years before buying this in the early 90s, I hadn't seen the white dj before then. These are nice on demo I have this and the label paper has a lovely watermark - Promotional Copies Not For Sale Cheers Richard
45cellar Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Very nice, I've only seen that sort of Watermark before in the CHESS Single Sided DEMOs
Premium Stuff Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Very nice, I've only seen that sort of Watermark before in the CHESS Single Sided DEMOs Think my copy of the LIttle (Lil') Soul Brothers on D-Town has similar watermark (but not sure all WDJ copies do) Maybe Chess paper? Cheers Richard Edited September 16, 2011 by Premium Stuff
Tony Smith Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 I had the blue issue for about 10 years before buying this in the early 90s, I hadn't seen the white dj before then. I Remember Rob Marriott having this, shame the sound quality isn't any better than the issue, as it is a fabulous song (is this one languishing in the vaults as I'd love to hear it "clear")
Tony Smith Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Think my copy of the LIttle (Lil') Soul Brothers on D-Town has similar watermark (but not sure all WDJ copies do) Maybe Chess paper? Cheers Richard My old Barbara Acklin on Special Agent had the same design paper too down to the pressing plant I think.
Anoraks Corner Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 I know, I know the stockers are also white, but you don't see demos of this old stormer around...if at all!? What a cracking tune it is too...the brass break is a real destroyer over a club PA!
Gilly Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 My old copy of Melvin Davis I Must Love You looked just like the issue but had promo/dj copy (cant remember) printed in small type,never knew if it was a hard #?
Ted Massey Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Dont think any one has posted this beauty 1 2
Tony Smith Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Dont think any one has posted this beauty Snap I was gonna post mine!
Guest in town Mikey Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 This must be rare ? I've got one on the left. Not seen the one on the right before. Ted. That JSC is just beautiful
Ted Massey Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Snap I was gonna post mine! hope your well mate
Guest Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Is the Sandra Richardson in your possesion Ian? I won one one ebay once,white demo on the scan.Arrived,,its orange.Only wanted it if it was white.Seller's answer - bad scan.Oh well........ Hi Kev, I've owned a copy of the SR white demo, sold it via my website or ebay several years back. Never seen another one, got to be a really tough one! Scan of my old copy:
KevH Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Hi Kev, I've owned a copy of the SR white demo, sold it via my website or ebay several years back. Never seen another one, got to be a really tough one! Scan of my old copy: Hi Adam.Can't see a demo stamp etc,on the label.It does look like a normal white label.Its not a rare colour variation is it.?(red,orange,white).
Guest Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Hi Adam.Can't see a demo stamp etc,on the label.It does look like a normal white label.Its not a rare colour variation is it.?(red,orange,white). Interesting point Kev, there was no 'DJ Only' or similar text on the label. I still have copies of the red, orange and blue/green label variants and the text/layout on those match the white one, so maybe it is juat another colour variation.
Ian Dewhirst Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Is the Sandra Richardson in your possesion Ian? I won one one ebay once,white demo on the scan.Arrived,,its orange.Only wanted it if it was white.Seller's answer - bad scan.Oh well........ Yep, still here Kev. Open to offers if anyone wants it. Surprisingly it's never been a major fave of mine but that white promo was kinda irresistible when I picked it up........... Ian D
Davetay Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Yes but this isn't a demo its just a regular issue that was withdrawn/changed when The Players were made to change their name under pressure from The Ohio Players Cheers Paul Paul, You could be right about the Players being a issue, but when I saw the scan that Andy Rex but up, my 1st thoughts where that's what we all had back in the day. Martyn, No idea what this goes for now, but it was about £2 at the time. P. S. I have checked the scan again and it is the same as my old copy. Reguards Dave.
Anoraks Corner Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Dont think any one has posted this beauty To complete the pair here's t'other...though I appreciate neither really dent the definitive list of rare WD's...desirable yes, ultra rare no.
Guest Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I put one up on post #186 - strange, not in my uploads for this post - had to upload it again Cheers Mick Mick I am somewhat undecided as to your scan,it looks like Pet's washed out copy,no mention of "promo" anywhere,and does'nt look "white" or "advanced not for sale" type disc....so I challenge that the Superlatives exists on an authentic W/D...maybe Paul Kyser could shed some truth on the matter ?
Guest MrC Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Does it mention DJ copy anywhere, it just looks washed out to me? Superlatives that is! Was thinking the same, looks like my faded blue issue. Don't think it's "washed out" or bleached etc, surely the "Uptite" label title would be greyish, and it still looks black to me. Agree no mention of "DJ" "PROMO" or "ADVANCE" etc anywhere on the label so maybe it is just a very rare colour variation
Mick Holdsworth Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Mick I am somewhat undecided as to your scan,it looks like Pet's washed out copy,no mention of "promo" anywhere,and does'nt look "white" or "advanced not for sale" type disc....so I challenge that the Superlatives exists on an authentic W/D...maybe Paul Kyser could shed some truth on the matter ? Rob You could be right - I saw the one Pete put up last year and it was the same (not the same copy, but the same white stained labels both sides). When I got mine (6 or 7 years ago) I thought from looking at the image it was probably a washed out blue or yellow, but when i saw it in the flesh there was absolutely no hint of either of those colours, so I began to think it was genuinely white. The general opinion, based on viewing scans rather than the actual record, is that it is just water damaged stock, so you could be right. Maybe the ink was of a type that would wash out completely. As to Paul Kyser shedding some truth on it, I'm sure he would find more than a couple of brand new white demos if you asked him. Cheers Mick
Dennisoul Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 To complete the pair here's t'other...though I appreciate neither really dent the definitive list of rare WD's...desirable yes, ultra rare no. Mighty pretty sir
Gene-r Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Had a few of those, Gene...not a premier league WD in my book Don't let that halo slip now, Dave!

Agree no mention of "DJ" "PROMO" or "ADVANCE" etc anywhere on the label so maybe it is just a very rare colour variation Talking of bleached or washed out records etc, There was a Earl Wright on Capitol doing the rounds in salebox late 70s. Anyway the "Thumb A Ride" side was white but the black writing had not faded, the other side was quite normal colouring. It was been talked about before on here, that a certain person from York getting very excited when he saw it.
Wiggyflat Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Heres a load.Not sure which is the rarest. I have a Holly Maxwell Only When Youre Lonely autographed demo as well.Bought it by mistake....I wanted Thats Not Love.....even Bearsy might like some of these...maybe not!!

Mike Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 a revival post to an old school soul source topic any new adds?
Mal C Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) this is a pretty rare track on WD, Troy Dodds - I'm so in Love with you / Count of Love. 'I'm so in Love with you' is the same song different cut of his Penthouse release 'Rise up and walk'. either that or they pushed the backing to the back, pummped up his vocal, either way The Daytona one is allot better:-) Edited December 13, 2021 by Mal C
Mal C Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 This is not rare, but it is very nice... I found a few nice WD's with this chaps name on 'Dave Calef' Vanugard Productions..
Woodbutcher Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 This must be pretty high on the list ... 3
Mal C Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 thought that was acetate only, WOW never seen that before... 2
Woodbutcher Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 1 hour ago, Mal C said: thought that was acetate only, WOW never seen that before... Mr Dobson's e-bay find , just about $200 if I recall . 1
