Mark if you had a stock copy of Earl Jackson you could triple the price of the demo...I don't think there is a stock copy! Same with Yum Yums, August & Deneen

a little off topic as this is a acetate but thought it would still be of interest as it as the old town label details and a recording date

Are there a few of these brett franklin has one as well ?

Bit of related info required. Was Jimmey Soul Clarke I'll be your Winner on a white promo ?

I've a red label which I've never taken much notice of & assumed was an issue but a couple of years ago noticed that on A Girls World, Promotion copy is printed but not on "Winner" side ?

Is this rare or common..ish

Thanks

Dave

Is this ok for ya.

The last time I had it in my mits was about 10 years ago and from what I remember the label lay-out is the same as the WD except the 'D.J. COPY NOT FOR SALE' is missing, and the label is red (about the same shade as Impact issues)

Got to be hard on UK demo?

Think Spenna had Eddie Holmans own copy dont know where it went

Same song - two different recordings - two demos

To me the uk take is by far the best version. slightly more 'modern' in sound. strange how that version never came out in the states.

Tavasco Promo.... note extremely small typeset... can't have been that bothered about getting a hit with it LOL

A few different scans, rarer on issue ??

Two Claude Huey demos - so are the demos or issues of these tracks rarer?

Split decision for me, hence keeping both...

My Sam Moultrie is black with all of the print/logo in Silver...

'Nashville' stamped, so which is the first issue?

White demo's...

Only ever seen a couple with blue writing, got it from Soul Bowl around 1980...

Another rare issue...

Some great scans on here fellas...

Not in the same league rarity wise as some of those posted on here.. but one you usually see white demos of..

1st issue. "HeartBREAK". No D.J.Copy Not For Sale....

  Baz said:

Quite an obvious answer really aint it

I mean some of the demos that are about on MGM that only fetch £30 or say, they must have pressed up 1000's no wonder they never sold any issues, they give every one free demos so they fcuked their own market up

What happened tp Spyder Turner then?

  mossy said:

This one ? or the "Alive with a loving feeling" that is rumoured to exist on a U.S. copy ?

Hi

I got these from Soul Bowl, however I believe that the Blue Lettering WARREN Stock Copy is the rare one.

I think Spyder Turner was quite a big seller in the states. Hence the thousands of stock copies.

Here are both issue and demo copies of the Shepards on the earlier ABC Paramount design.

gary field bought it off him, then sold it to steve chadwick

Re the Willie Hutch issue. I have a copy and when I got it back in the 80's I sold another copy to Paul Johnson from Bolton for £40. So that's 2.

If anyone noticed my efforts to download Tamiko Jones were fruitless,although I did manage to scan it into "Photo and Imaging gallery" ,whatever that is.

Mark,next time I come up maybe you can show me what to do.

Didn't post info on Willie Hutch yesterday cos I went to my stepson's passing out parade at RAF Halton. Station commander was changing at the same time so we got to see a fly past by a spitfire not far above our heads.

As I sat in the reviewing stands and heard the roar of the plane coming out of the sun I couldn't help thinking that if it turned out to be a Messerschmitt we were all fcuked!!

Anyone ever seen an issue? Does it exist?

Rod if you go onto the forum page & about second up from the bottom is :a forum for testing why not go & have a practice with loading pictures. bet you've got loads that you could post pictures of.

Pottsy, you silver-tongued flatterer you. Im married!! I'll give it a go later when I have time.

It was so cold on that reviewing stand sitting there for around 90 minutes that I expected a march past by the Queen's Own Polar Bears.

No problem Rod, it's not that difficult.....lol took me ages to work it out though, see you soon.

I believe the issue of this is rarer than the demo.....what do I care it only cost me £5 off Cliff Steele about 15 years ago

Sure someone can arrange a swap mate

Red issue of The Topics on Mercury...supposed to be very scarce.......

  Mark Bicknell said:

Pete, like i said somewhere in my tiny brain memory banks i thought it was issued, we must have seen it way back and not really taken any notice as when i got my demo about 25 years ago i had no reason to seek an issue, quality tune on either copy.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Very interesting thread, although i've never really understood the whole issue / demo collecting thing. As Mark said above, 25 years ago he wouldn't have had the need to hunt down an issue or demo. Just having the record in an original format was good enough. And it takes all these years to recognise how scarce one format is over another. When did this start to happen ???.

Also, anyone know the reasoning behind the major label 'same both side' demo's of the 70s ??? who decided which side to demo and which to relegate to the issue only. On occasions needing their ears cleaned out .

Cheers Girth

Hi Girth,

To be honest I dont think anything has changed in that respect, nearly everyone's just happy to get the record on an issue or a demo, so long as it plays o.k., I know I am. I only know 3 people where it has to be a particular format. But I do find it interesting as a collector to see an unusual label, or a label design, one i've not seen before. That's all part of collecting

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.

Prime example of a big void price wise between the issue and the demo? Stocker dog hard to find.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I would like this for about £20

Another hard call between issue and demo, the demo is a far safer bet when it comes up for auction, were there not Orange demo's as well on this? and of course it was pressed as a 'look - a- like' way back, beautiful demo with 'Sad Sam' on the flip.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I've asked about a bit but haven't found anybody who has seen one of these before

Anybody else?
