Soulie52 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 I know there were around 11-13 cities used at the start of the promos but out of all of them which is the rarest out there. I have two myself, I'm not a collector of them I have Miami and Philadelphia just wanted to know out of interest.
Soul Shrews Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 I would say the Detroit, LA and Memphis ones are the rarest. What do I base this fine knowledge on ? Well these are the ones I don"t have Cheers Paul
Winsford Soul Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 WOW. This is all news to me. Forty years after. Could someone please post some pictures of them Steve
Soul Shrews Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Steve , they are basically regular Philly Int white promos with the added line "Washington DC edit" or whichever city Cheers Paul
Winsford Soul Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Thanks Paul. I only ever had the normal issue. Don't actually recall seeing a promo. Steve
Twoshoes Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I think there was a thread about this some time ago and a few members were trying to collect all the cities, it's in the back of my mind the total was nearer seventeen but I could well be wrong on that. Edit- I am wrong. Edited December 29, 2017 by Twoshoes

Shinehead Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Interesting reading and a fantastic record too , could be a contender in the - Record You Never Get Tired of hearing topic . 1

I could well be wrong as my memory has let me down before. Never seen Atlanta or Boston from your list either. Don"t know if he"s still active on here but PhillyDaveG would be the man to ask as he has compiled a discography of Philly Int/ Cheers Paul Cheers Paul
Mick Holdsworth Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 OK thanks Paul. The image example used three posts above is the Boston edit, and the Atlanta was new to me until maybe six months ago.
Soulie52 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Posted December 29, 2017 Thanks lads, I actually bought the Philly off Discogs this month. It was advertised as AE71135 which is Miami. I already have it and just bought it as a spare so when AE7 1136 turned up and mint to for only $3.99 I was a little chuffed. Getting all of them will be a right pain and somewhere I don't wanna go. If one comes up I'll get it but I'm not chasing them.
Swifty Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Mine's AE7 1140 Houston Edit , don't know if some are harder than others to be honest , never really looked. I can understand people would like the set though

Edit- I am wrong. Here's that old thread, from January 2007, almost 11 years back! It's mixed in among a discussion about collectible Philly Int records, well worth a read from start to finish. 3
