45cellar Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Certain DEMOs are difficult to find from a different pressing plant such as these "West Coast" Temptations below. I have been looking for a copy of MY GIRL on a DEMO for years, finally found one, arrived last week. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

One of those classic fllorfillers that has almost been airbrushed out of NS history, unfortunately.... 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. Regards - Mark Bicknell. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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.

Rick Cooper Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 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. Rick Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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.
