Hi Steve

Thanks Mate, Years of searching, & Obviously in the wrong place.

All that I have ever found is this Tantalising scan.

Regarding the Coloured DEMO,

I have a coloured DEMO of "Girl Don't Make Me Wait".

I have it on both Designs & one is a DEMO..

Looking At Tomorrow - Chubby Checker - Parkway - Stock Copy

200090319018.jpg

WOW! First time I've ever seen that Roger! Excellent! Great uptempo song too. Great how we keep picking up on records that are truly hard to find, but don't seem to cost the earth when they do appear. Great stuff. Tyhanks for posting.

Some beltin scans here chaps - 2 issues I've never clapped eyes on but are rumoured to exist......

7th Ave Aviators on red Congress

Yum Yums on black ABC-Paramount

And while I'm thinking - were there ever any West Coast Parkway issues? I seriously doubt it but you never know.

Anyone?

YUM YUMS definitely on Stocker. It appears as part of the Jerry Ross story in the next Issue of There's That Beat! www.theresthatbeat.com

Well that's a turn up for the books - never seen an issue of this either !

Scan of the "other" harder demo attached, to complete the set.

Best

Cant say that I have seen one other than the white copies.

I thought that this was the place for this one from PopSike too.

The FIRST Stock copy that I have EVER seen of "Looking At Tomorrow".

Never say Never they always say.

Look at what I have just found on PopSike.Com

Never EVER seen one before.

Hi John

Thanks for Posting this.

It is the harder DEMO, I nearly Won one on ebay a couple of years ago, Outbid at the Last Minute.

As already mentioned before, something appears to have happened

at the Promotion Stage with a couple of the Chubby Checker releases.

"Looking At Tomorrow" & "You Just Don't Know"

Anyone know why these two failed, when other releases are so easy to find by him.

Couple of rarer Philips promos :

Millionaires

Clydie King & Sweet Things - "Green" demo

Does anyone have a Philips demo of Big Frank & Essences ? Weird that copies of Big Frank Murphy are all demos with only the odd issue showing up ; havent seen a demo of BF & E though.

Last I heard Kev Murphy had the stocker. I had both the stocker and the demo in my hands in the mid 90s within weeks of each other. Could have bought both for the same price, opted for the W/Demo as thought that red label would look crap in my 'D" box! He He! Regrets? Never!

Fortnum has/had the vg copy from Eddie Holman.

:thumbsup:

The copy I'm sure Carl has is a WD signed by Eddie Holman. I heard EH sing it at Stafford in the 80's and did wonder if he was in fact LC, but I've been told it's (the late?) LC. Anyone know anything more about LC?

Not rarest of the rare and all that stuf, but back to the thread, issues rarer than demo's, or is it rarer issues & demo's that you don't see every week, or do you, or don't you, my head is mashed, Lowton, Burnley, Bury, I need a kip!

Mr Clinton was a lounge singer in Philly. Luther Randolph took him in the studio against his better judgement as he "liked a drink" and had very little ambition but was happy singing in the supper clubs. When I interviewed the Harthon trio last year none of them knew his current wheareabouts. The rarity of the stocker is due to the fact that Dynamo Records was set up by Jimmy Bishop as an appeasement to the Harthon guys. He'd stitched them up with Arctic. But he never really got behind it and in their opinion was actually instrumental in it's failure. No distribution, no PR etc.

The record itself is in my top 10 of all time. Outstanding intro! Get's the juices flowing right from the opening crash bang whallop!

The Stock Copies on this page alone would set you bak a Lottery win & a Lifetime of Searching.

Even then you'd struggle.
