NEW LIST 1

OKAY FOLKS JUST A FEW INTERESTING AND UNUSUAL MAINLY UK 70's BITS TO KICK US OFF.

THE BARONS OF SOUL - YOU NEED LOVE - GRAPEVINE 2000 DEMO M- 30

This was demo only and very limited

THE BELLES - DON'T PRETEND - PRESIDENT EX 20 SOLD

Back in demand, brilliant track with a great B side "Words Can't Explain"

THE CROW - YOUR AUTUMN OF TOMORROW - RIGHT ON M- 25 SOLD

Seen this going for daft money

THE CROW - YOUR AUTUMN OF TOMORROW - INFERNO DEMO M 20

I'd say this was rarer than the above to be honest. Jelly Beans classic on B side

JULIAN COVEY & THE MACHINE - A LITTLE BIT HURT - ISLAND EX 15

1977 reissue

GENE CHANDLER - THERE WAS A TIME - BRUNSWICK DEMO M- 20

Nice red demo with Artistics on the B side

THE DELLS - YOUR SONG - 20TH CENTURY DEMO M- 50 SOLD

Blimey this is a hard record to find, on US and UK - demo too

JACKIE DAY (MAXINE BROWN) - TORTURE - TRIDENT STUDIOS ACETATE EX 40 SOLD

Back in the mid 80's when Ady discovered the unissued Maxine Brown track "It's Torture", he had 3 or 4 acetates cut at Trident and gave them to the country's top DJ's, covered up as Jackie Day. This is one of those original acetates, still credited to Jackie Day, and I suppose it could be considered the original acetate for the Kent label release which came a year or so later. It has the instrumental on the B side credited to Jackie Day's Band.

DIANE DUCANE - BETTER LATE THAN NEVER - CONTACT EX 25 SOLD

UK produced modern dancer

DEREK & RAY - INTERPLAY - RCA DEMO M- 15 SOLD

Hard on a demo copy. Mike McDonald on B side.

THE DELITES - LOVER - DESTINY DEMO M- 20 SOLD

Withdrawn when Grapevine issued the same record

THE EXCITERS - REACHING FOR THE BEST - 20TH CENTURY DEMO EX 40

I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen the proper demo of this before. Large A and Advance Promotion Copy across the centre, superb.

THE FURYS - I'M SATISFIED WITH YOU - JAYBOY DEMO M- 30 SOLD

Absolute classic

THE HYTONES - YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME / TILL YOU BREAK UP - BLANK TEST PRESSING M 40

This is one of only four or five test pressings of a proposed UK pressed bootleg that never got to the finished stage and wasn't released

MILLIE JACKSON - A HOUSE FOR SALE - SPRING EX 20

Ever popular

LIFESTYLE - KATRINA - MCA DEMO EX 15 SOLD

MAJOR LANCE - WITHOUT A DOUBT - WARNER BROS DEMO EX 20

There's a really nice Major Lance autograph on the B side, "Open The Door To Your Heart"

PHILLIP MITCHELL - I'M GONNA BUILD CALIFORNIA ALL OVER THE WORLD / THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU - JAYBOY EX 35

Take your pick which side..

THE M.V.P.'S - TURNIN' MY HEARTBEAT UP - BUDDAH DEMO EX 20 SOLD

Is it a demo, well it's got an A in the middle and others don't have it! Still, you'd pay this for an issue anyway elsewhere
