Ernie Andrews Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just thinking about records that are not rare- Infact common but actually are rare as a white demo. When did you last see one of these? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Swifty Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Mine is The Amazers - Without a Warning - Looks well nice on a W/D (as do most records IMHO) Swifty Sorry just read RARE demo , I don't think this is ???

Peter Richer Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Good topic! Many absolute classics fall into this category. A few nice examples: Mamie Galore - It Ain't Necessary - St. Lawrence Spyder Turner - I Can't Make It Anymore - MGM (although this is, of course, yellow) Darrell Banks (both of them) - Revilot Precisions - If This Is Love - Drew Epitome Of Sound - You Don't Love Me - Sandbag (although the issue is actually quite expensive now) Gloria Jones - Tainted Love - Champion (also getting a bit pricey on issue) Jackie Lee - Oh, My Darlin' - Mirwood Edited May 6, 2013 by Peter Richer Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter Richer Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Oh, and how can we forget: Al Wilson - The Snake - Soul City ... seriously, please, how can we forget ... any suggestions most gratefully received?!!

Popular Post Pete S Posted May 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2013 Steve I think I sold you a couple of rare 70's white demos - I've not seen copies since: Andre Maurice - You're the cream of the crop - Bale WD Kim Tolliver - I don't know what foot to dance on - Castro WD both of those must be mega rare but both are cheap 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter Richer Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 To help us get Al Wilson out of our heads, I'm sure we can all think of loads of fantastic white demos on the Motown labels and Atlantic. Even these two: Miracles - Tears Of A Clown, and Soul Brothers Six - I'll Be Loving You are very decent collectors' pieces. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Premium Stuff Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Here's a rare one I have which is nice. Google is easier than scanner though. Looks like a Carl P scan from eBay - think I remember this one. Some folk say it isn't a demo because it is just plain white with no "DJ" or "Not For Sale" stuff on it. I say - demo, demo, demo What a fantastic record! Cheers Richard Edited May 6, 2013 by Premium Stuff Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Moore Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The Melvin Davis Groovesville Demo is nice. I've been looking for a VG+ for over 15 years! Have an issue and had a battered demo but got shut, just didn't look the part with the others!Might do a piece on Demos, their role in promotion and and the psyche behind collecting them for the Bridligton Mag? Think that would fly?Regards,Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rick Cooper Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Outside of the northern soul titles some of the rarest demos of cheap records could be of million sellers. Just plucking three at random has anyone got any of these on demo; Wilson Picket "In the Midnight Hour", Otis Redding "Dock of the Bay", Johnnie Taylor "Whose Making Love". If there are any around I bet there trashed. They may not be expensive but probably hard to find in nice condition. Rick 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
