Uk Tamla Motown Demo`s

[Guest Ivor Jones]

Been wondering about this for a while,[thats what a bore i`ve turned into i`m afraid ! ]..........

Can anyone shed any light on how many Demonstration copies of UK Tamla Motown releases were actually pressed ? Also, were there any diifference in the amounts pressed for different titles,[obviously, some titles would have had more obvious hit potential than others]............

For instance,were the earlier Red and White Demo`s pressed in smaller numbers than the later Green and White Demo`s ?

As the label gained in popularity,did the amount of Demo`s pressed go up as well ?

This may be obvious to the more clued up Motown Collector but i wonder if there are any people who worked at EMI/Motown who could shed any light on the matter ? Anyone know someone who worked there ?

Obviously,with the passage of time,things can get very distorted.

Thanks in advance,

Ivor
