Darrell Banks On Stateside

[Premium Stuff]

Hi everyone

From reading other threads on here I understand Darrell Banks - Open The Door To Your Heart came out on Stateside three times - twice in 1966 and then again in 1969.

Can anyone tell me how to identify the three different issue copies please?

I also know the demos were different between the 1966 (white and red) and 1969 (green and white) copies - but were there any differences between the two 1966 demo releases - or was there only one 1966 demo?

Cheers

Richard

Don't think it came out twice on Stateside in 66, doesn't make sense. London demo, Stateside r & w demo, repromoted issue in 69 with it's green & white demo, and it was still on catalogue in the early 70's.

i dont think it was ever deleted between first release and re promotion in 1969 i seem to remember buying it from a shop in between the 2 dates

One probably has the 'sold in the uk' printing on the centre and later ones leave it off

i agree with pete..only came out once on stateside in 1966 altho demo`s say `open the door of your heart`. the spelling mistake was rectified for the issue as i never seen a R & W with correct title and never seen an issue with the spelling mistake

that depends when the G & W demo came out pete.....whats the date in 69

[Ted Massey]

there was always demand for it right through from release, a similar thing happened to Detroit spinners Ill always love you i ordered it from the Diskery in about 1968

just for completeness, in case anyone is interested, there's a white label stateside test press too

HI ALL As TED STATES THE DEMAND WAS HIGH. White label copies are very rare but in this case no where near the price that 1st $TATESIDE demo is worth, is it me that has seen more LONDON DEMOS than $TATESIDE RED& WHITE DEMOS? MICK SMITH has a G&W DEMO on his list I sold a copy for £5 at WIGAN DAVE

It's surprising how many 60s titles on EMI lables were still available in 1970. I ordered various titles from my local record shop.

Here's the Green & White

no release date on the 1969 g & w ..this probably means it was never deleated...just as ted said

copies after july 1969...will have the same typeface as the later copy but are missing the `sold in uk text` on the center

That proves that I have a later issue. That's 60p wasted the other week then .

One of the best double siders ever IMHO.
