Is this ok for ya.

Thanks Geoff,

Thought there was a w/d which brings me back to my question.... I've a red label demo with Disc Jockey

Advance sample on the Girls World side, not on I'll be your winner. Rare or common?

Here's one to file alongside it...

Rarely see U.S. copies of this but have seen loads of UK Beacon on several label colours.

When I found my White DEMO in the 70's, there were 2 copies together, AND both have the RED X'S on the Label, same as your scan. :unsure:

I wonder if anyone has a clean copy. I found the Stock Copy at the Same Time as the DEMO's.

One thing that is odd about the Romur Label is the Numbering System.

The B Side of the U.K. BEACON Is "RECIPE FOR LOVE" which is of course the B Side of "Be's That Way Sometimes" on Romur.

Imagine if they had chosen "Be's That Way Sometimes" for the B Side of the U.K. Issue Instead :no:

I have scanned just 2 of the label colours on U.K. BEACON

It's also a shame the sound quality isn't much better on the demo either!!

This has just reminded me Tony, years ago I got a few copies of this off mr. domar, & like you say poor sound quality, except one, for some strange reason it was as clear as a bell. wish i'd kept it now, but the offer at the time of ten quid was too great to resist.

Hi Rod

I have only just bought these two, I don't thnk that they are rare,

but as I was curious about the GW-25 & GW-27 I couldn't resist them.

As with the Ric-Tic Label, certain numbers appear to be without a DEMO. :D

Hi All

I have just had a look on

It would appear that as with GW-27, there are copies about with the DEMO sticker, but no White DEMO

I have mentioned this before, check out the comments on this >>> Link <<<

Does this suggest that The Show Stoppers & The Four Perfections are the same group.

Hi Roger .

The Four Perfections were not the same group as the Showstoppers as far as I know. Melvin Steals and his brother were part of The Four Perfections, we met him in NJ on Soultrip USA. Archie Bell introduced us thus.... "That guy over there used to be in a group back in the day with one of his brothers. They were pretty good. Hey Melvin...what was the name of the group you and your brother ran with?"

"The Four Perfections"

Could have knocked me down with limp stick!

Great stuff!

Regards,

Dave

Wasnt one of the Showstoppers SOLOMON BURKES brother?

Hi Ian,

I think the group contained TWO of the Burke brothers at one stage. Carl Fisher (of the Vibrations), wrote their hit "Ain't Nothing But A Houseparty". He also wrote a couple of other little ditties "Storm Warning" and The Laws Of Love" ofor The Volcanos. Wonder where he is now...in fact I'm off to find out! thumbsup.gif

Final one for today...

C. L. Blast came out on U.S. Stax (blue record stack label), but here's an issue on the Stax subsidary "HIP"

Same tracks on both issues, but the flipside title is shortened slightly on the HIP issue.

HIP appeared to issue mainly White 'Hippy' music, so it's a bit puzzling this turning up on the label.

No one I've quizzed about this seems to know of it's existence.

Another ABC one that seems to be hard on issue....

Hi

You're right about the Stock Copy, I have never seen one.

I have Two DEMO's of this, both like Torvil & Deans practice rink with loads of light scratches.

Your Picture On The Wall - Orthea Barnes -

12336 refosoul ABC_Paramount_45-10434a.jpg

However they play brilliantly. Yet I have a couple of records that appear MINT visually, but sound terrible. :thumbsup:

And NO, One of them Isn't a Britney Spears. :thumbsup: Still chuckling at that, can't remember which thread though. :yes:

P.S. Found It, Quote of 2006, Thanks Sean , >>> Link <<<

"that look amazing but sound bloody awful.... Sort of a vinyl equivalent of Brittney Spears!"

Hi mel,

Yes it is mate, & still a bargain in my books. should get one for between a score & thirty quid.

Perhaps someone would be good enough to post a sound clip, as i cant at the moment thumbsup.gif
