Julianb Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 What does the stamped 225 on some of them denote? Thanks
Kegsy Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I have one stamp 235 on one side and 230 on the other. Just checked the U.S. original, I think its the playing time. Never really thought about it before.
Julianb Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) The time...playing time... I'll have to check but I think I have a few, all with 225 stamped on them. Surely they all can't be 2.25 minutes long Edited March 30, 2015 by JulianB
Tobytyke Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Green onions : Booker T and the MGs Yellow London Demo has 400 stamped on it . They werent making records 4 minutes long in 1962 were they? 2
Pete S Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 They don't all have 225 stamped on them for Gods sake, just do a picture search for yellow London demos and you'll see all different times.
Dave Pinch Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 They don't all have 225 stamped on them for Gods sake, just do a picture search for yellow London demos and you'll see all different times. there takin some convincing lol
Pete S Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) there takin some convincing lol That's ok Dave, I know I'm right, same goes for the Decca label demos too. One example of Green Onions on a goodle search, that is definitely the time, 4'00, despite it only being 3'00. I rest my case: Edited March 30, 2015 by Pete S 1

Kegsy Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) OK Pete will do Calm down mate Why didn't you just ask Mrs B. she knows ten times more than you about records, especially good ones. Edited March 30, 2015 by Kegsy

The last time I replied to one of your posts, I got a 'warning' from Mike, so, here goes;- Sod off Kegsy! (note the tempered down language!)
