The Christine Cooper thread got me thinking, why don't we do one on rarer issue's & demo's. So if it's one you dont see every day of the week, post it up.

Here's one to kick off with....

J.B.Bingham on an issue

a couple of detroit demos

You tend to see more demo's of this than issues no so super rare.

What dose a lost in a world issue look like, I am thinking it could be like a Troy Dodds or Silky Hargraves??.

Those white ones are the issues...

Russ have a look at your camera, there'll be a button on the back which you press to enable you to do in-focus close ups from very short distances, it's called Macro, without it they will come out blurred like yours are

I find if you zoom in an stand back a bit helps.

I am tempted to get my crayons out.

Just got this of my mate Neil

I stupidly parted with the DEMO in the 70's, part of a trade.

Never Ever seen it on a Stock Copy Ted.

Wow!

Thanks for that, I would love to know where that copy is now.

They always say never say never, but after all of these years I was assuming that it didn't exist.

Thanks again, ANYONE! got a scan of this one.

Was it definitly "ooh boy" Tez ? Any idea where it is now?

yeh positive...........forgot who bought it....cost me £30 in the 80's which was a lot but I kinda thought it was rare then.

Yes we were.

Amazing that other copies haven't turned up.

Ric-Tic had a spell where DEMO's are either NON existent or Virtually one off.

Never seen a demo like this before....

$15 well spent?

Definitely $15 well spent,

That low ZTSC Number (Only 5 Digits) ZTSC 84912 (The Date of Issue 1962) >>> LINK <<<.

4804 Correct for release. Initially I wasn't sure why #2029 as well.

But of course they all had more than one number on the Label.

I couldn't recall seeing a ZTSC Press for this label before. Never mind a Nice White DEMO.

I know that it is a Chicago Label & ZTSC is the Chicago Matrix Stamp,

However, should have realised the date.

Here's the Stock Copy on ebay, early design, early number Including that ZTSC

Beautiful DEMO, take a lot of searching to find another, I would suggest.

Nice find that one Mate. I certainly haven't seen one before.

Wow. Great thread here!

Out of curiosity, is this the other side of the Barbara Acklin? 'Cos that's what's on the other side of this.....

And here's some other goodies:-

The Other Side of Barbara Acklin depends on which Brunswick DEMO release you find.

Also on the Rarer TOMAS

I do try to keep all of my records in the condition that I bought them.

I keep them in similar Poly Lined Sleeves.

Yet some stay crisp & white. Where as others show signs of Foxing

This one is a very similar press to the Saxie Russell, but glue or something has started to discolour the label on the DEMO.

That Bill Harris ain't easy on a DEMO, I have only just found a copy.

The same can be said about

>>> Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free - Warner Bros DEMO <<<

Some of those Warners releases from the early-mid 70's are really difficult. That Rhodes, Chalmers & Rhodes from another thread is the only copy I've ever seen. They couldn't really promote Black Music at the time, so many of the releases never really made it out there IMO.....

And, no, I don't have the Candi Staton which I've also never seen on promo. Got all the Ashford & Simpsons, Lamont Dozier's etc.

Actually whilst we're on this thread, has anyone ever seen a U.S. copy of Felice Taylor's "I Feel Love Coming On" which should be on Bronco shouldn't it?

I have only ever seen this copy that Miff has in his collection.

Edited April 20, 200817 yr by 45cellar

Cant make my mind up which one of these is the rarest, demo or stock.... lol

Suppose no one cares!!

Sorry, heres the Stock Copy

Here's a few classic Northern

heres a few dubs....

the Benny Krausse is actually B.K.Marcus "Does she care about me" with a nice letter from Sam Goldner to Jerry Ross asking him to give BK a chance...which he did'nt...but Kenny Gamble did!

It would be rude not to post the issue that matches the demo above, wouldn't it?

Unfortunately not a minter but since I've got the record on three different designs of Onederful, Canadian Barry, UK President, Toddlin' Town and Midas, i think I can wait for a decent copy to come along...

Collecting - it's a disease.

Here are a few nice rare demos from my personal collection. Whilst not particularly rare on issue, how often do you see these demos?

Drake & The Ensolids is there a demo of Please Leave.

Volumes seems to be on three different demos! that black one looks good, here's another demo white with black print, think there's a red print one too.

Also the Windy C demo, I picked up a good few years ago, a demo of "Dont Waste Your Time" used to think it looked iffy, but it's stamped so guess it right,

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?

Supposedly rarer with the "A Mike Terry Arr" on but to be honest most I seen have! still nice not to be water damaged!

Is this harder on a demo? most demos i do see are white

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".

  45cellar said:

Hi John

I asked this a while back, no reply at the time.

Nice West Coast DEMO, I tried for both, One of my favourites too.

Looking At Tomorrow - Chubby Checker - Parkway -

I managed the East Coast DEMO, but I have seen neither on a Stock Copy. (Strange).

You Just Don't Know is obviously Rarer, however "Looking At Tomororrow" appears to have also been confined to a DEMO only release.

Never say Never they always say.

Look at what I have just found on PopSike.Com

Never EVER seen one before.

Looking At Tomorrow - Chubby Checker - Parkway - Stock Copy

The Stock Copy does exist apparently.

Hi Steve

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

All that I have ever found is this Tantalising scan.

Looking At Tomorrow - Chubby Checker - Parkway - Stock Copy

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..

-I think I have seen a Stock Copy on this Design

-Not seen a White DEMO on this Design as far as I can remember.
