45cellar Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Recently Acquired this DEMO without the AMY Mala Bell Distribution. (Blue Label from PopSike.com) -- Knew about the two DEMO's & added them to the collection over the years Often wondered if there is yet another DEMO with Title spread over two lines. -- Edited September 25, 2008 by 45cellar Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ady Potts Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ah, that's just reminded me Roger, keep meaning to ask if anyone knows what the score was with this release? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Gene Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I think you mostly see demo's of this? Found a few copies of the Nella Dodds on issue, all in one box - but - they were all mispressed. When you played them it was a C&W song. Both sides. I should have bought one just for the sake of it...might be why it didnt sell well as the momentum on the song might have been over by the time they tried to re-press them.

Guest Gene Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I met a guy a few Years ago, who was one of the Supervisors at the RCA pressing plant in Indiana during the 1960's. As you'd imagine all promo's were freebies, sent out (and then forgotten about) to Radio Stations, D.J.'s and the like, whereas Issues were sent out on sale or return. once returned to the plant, the centre was punched out and the vinyl then recycled to make more records. I'd hazard a guess that many of the other Major's employed the same system. Des Parker Promo's were also used a "wage increase" for salesmen. When I worked at a distributor in the late 80s, the salesmen were given extra promos to take and sell to increase their wages. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Brett F Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Just read through the thread, saw someone posted an alt take of Freddie Houston, my copy is the acetate of the actual old town release, bang same record. Just to redress the balance and add interest for the 70's fans, this is a Allied Records Test Pressing of The Gifted Four "Are You Choosing" which later came out on CSC, then later on Hamito-Semitica.

Pete S Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) Pete out of interest what is the rarest record you have had to sell ?. Ps that would be a good thread for all the dealers. Hard question because of selling things back in the old days that weren't considered rare: lenny Curtis £5, Tommy Bush £8 and so on. Recent times, Mr Lucky - I was born to love you (with a crack in it) - sold for undisclosed 4 figure sum (will tell by pm) (although that was the most expensive it's probably not the rarest, the rarest might be the two unissued Motown acetates I sold as they are one offs) Edited September 28, 2008 by Pete S Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Interesting to see just how much "value" has either been added to, or taken away from, an item over the years.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Gene Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) The Other Side of Barbara Acklin depends on which Brunswick DEMO release you find. The 9-780xx series seems to be its own demo series- maybe a way to get a second push for the record? Ive seen 2 of these on this series now: 9-78025 - Adams Apple 9-78028 - B Acklin/Jackie Wilson anyone seen other 9 series promos? *** EDIT - did some research and decided to make a new thread with all the special DJ discs to see if anyone wants to help fill in the numbers....

Guest Gene Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Perhaps not a mega rare 45 but a nice issue and pretty hard to find, fantastic double header and i reckon i had a stroke of luck picking this up last year for about twenty quid? Regards - Mark Bicknell. The issue I have has some water label damage, but it was the same green color, although the label layout is much different.

Neil Rushton Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Just noticed a guy mentioned "Somebody Somewhere Needs You" - Ike and Tina Turner on UK Warner Brothers single Warners were pressed and distributed by Pye at the time and have got a copy of the EP containg "Somebody Somewhee Needs You" on UK Pye (not Warners) test pressing, with info typed on, ie not a white label, which is tasty, Did have a London demo of "Open The Door"/"Our Love" - Darrell Banks with the titles and artist TYPEWRITTEN ON - very much regret selling that.

Guest Imogen Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Here is something. Not sure on how rare it is/ Looking at the numbers it's not a 9-series but has a 55381 number. Given to me by older brother Dave on my 40th as someone had kindly absconded with my uk red Brunswick demo! Anyway thanks again Dave. Was informed that it might have been recalled because Brunswick - or whoever were not happy with the title of Nothing but... and decided to change it. Any other info on this..?
