Classic Soul Hard To Find Demo's


Mark Bicknell

Recommended Posts

Having a ball picking up some nice little bit's and bobs got this for pennies recently and reckon it's pretty hard to find on a White Thomas Demo? great record at the best of times, be nice to get a thread going of what we consider maybe common records on stock/issues but perhaps elusive on a demo.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Nice find Mate.

Which DEMO did you get, not seen too many over the years.

CHARGER_CRG-105-A_DJ_-1.gifCHARGER_CRG-105-B_DJ_-1.gif

This one has "45 - X 132 RE" Stamped on the "BE A MAN" Side Deadwax.

CHARGER_CRG-105-A_DJ-1.gifCHARGER_CRG-105-B_DJ-1.gif

This one has a 5 turn Deadwax runout on the "BE A MAN" Side with scratched deadwax info.

Stock copies of both exist, different pressing plants as far as I'm aware.

Either way, nice find & a Bargain too.

Another eight white demo's which I think are pretty tuff to find, love the Symbol/Eastern/Broadway ones.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Eddie & Ernie - WOW!

What a brilliant record, too, Mark - seeing your demo has made me want to go upstairs, dig my stocker out and have a stomp round the record room to it.

One of those classic fllorfillers that has almost been airbrushed out of NS history, unfortunately....

I remember playing this out a couple of years ago, didn't exactly clear the floor but didn't go down too well :yes:

I raised a question on here recently Tony as to would a roots/classic spot work on today's scene, I did'nt mean the tried and tested top 500 either I meant the West Hampstead ethos pre 100 Club type of thing, but I think the question got a little confused and lost slightly, guess I mean all the best bits put together and presented bang slap in the middle of a night. Eddie And Ernie is sublime.

No, its sound belongs to another time and another place, I'm afraid.

Still runs rings round half the poorly recorded, badly sung and played rarities that get discussed here, week in week out, though....

...in my opinion, of course. :D

I basically agree but still think there is a place on today's scene for records like this. Crying shame when too many prefer to listen and discuss some of the retro crap that is released these days and some of the second rate funky stuff and records such as this are ignored.

They are Virtually Impossible to find Mark, nice one.

They never, ever turn up.

Yet to my reckoning there should be 3 Variations for the DEMO.

EASTERN_609-A-1.gif Here's the Stock copy for your White DEMO.

EASTERN_609-A_WC-1.gif A West Coast Monarch Stock Copy (Assuming there's a DEMO for this press)

Hi Dave

Guessing that we've all been looking for them over the years.

As far as I'm aware Thumb A Ride DEMO doesn't exist.

Another that doesn't exist "Out On The Floor" CHARGER DEMO.

Loving the information coming out of this thread, so did they do Charger O O T F demo's or just did'nt bother funny when the other titles exist on the demo, got me thinking now to which other records never had a demo produced, must be a few?

Regards - Mark

Capitol went through a phase of not doing 45rpm demos for a while.

So there are no USA demos 45rpm of Alaxander Patten, Patrice Holloway - Stolen Hours" or Earl Wright,

Having sold most of my records years ago this is one I've held on to . Not sure how common it is but Sue white demos don't seem to be around in large numbers. I once had a sort through the remains of Soul Bowls Sue/Symbol/Eastern stock but out and there were no white demos.

Is there a demo for James Fountain ''Seven Day Lover'' on Peachtree? I asked a while ago and got no reply or answer so maybe there wasn't one but can anyone confirm.

Never been able to understand the fuss about demos - boring white labels. Give me some colour any day - especially if its in a picture sleeve. And many stockers are far harder on issue anyway - black RCA's are the dogs

Love demos myself, although I don't buy them as much as I'd like. There's something about them I just love. I don't even like colored demos as much as white ones. If you don't get it, it's impossible to explain it to you,

That Walter Jackson pic sleeve looks nice, though.

Yeah, I can't find the thread now but I remember Manship giving the reason and the numbers of the period where Capitol didn't do demos.
