Monroe Taylor - Proud Guy

[Paraboliccurve]

Just going through some boxes and pulled out the above record which I believe was played at Stafford way back when.

Weird thing is, it is a one-sided record - there is no B side, just what I assume is the original pressing plant blank with a white paper area where the Chesapeake label would have been if it was a normal copy.

Anyone ever seen one of these before? Any explanation? I guess it might be a strange way of producing demos on the cheap?

TIA

Hi Mal

I could put up a scan but to be honest on the recorded side it is exactly the same as any other copy of Proud Guy I've ever seen - it's just like the other side never got put through the pressing machine is all.

cheers

I’ve got a few like that, it’s a proper record label so I guess they would have put promo / DJ on the label. I’ve never seen a proper demo of this track… great record.

Absolutely brilliant record - Guy Hennigan (I think?)

A bit off the original topic but must be the same guy ?

It is the same guy.

But is it the same guy as hosted the 'Pat & Jack' show of WPEN? ( they were the Monroe Taylor's).

I have no idea, found this on Ebay, it's a matchbook cover (cool)
