From the start of the TMG series they used white demo's with red capital A on them, which was how the Stateside demo's had been formatted, which was the label before Tamla Motown for releasing Motown product. Then they changed over to a green label with a white capital A. I'm sure some Motown expert will tell you what was the last number they used the red & white, think there's less than 80 R&W's before they changed? it might be that the last one was tmg575, but dont hold me to that. Then later they changed to just printing the demo details in the same colour font as the title details on the standard black Tamla Motown label , and then we had the blue "metalic" label with their own demo's, and green "metalic"labels demos
