DEREK MARTIN SLY GIRL TUBA WDJ?

[Dave Moore]

Hi all, 

I'm convinced that back in the day I saw a TUBA White Demo of this?  

 I have a blue Demo that just has the promotional text on the other side (A Side) but I'm sure I've seen a WDJ of it?

Can someone put an ole codger out of his misery and either confirm that my hunt continues or that I've lost the plot along the way.

If anyone has one and would be happy to move it on, I'm in the market.

Cheers,

Dave

Only know of the USA Stax WDJ copies (PL and SP pressings) but never saw or heard of a Tuba WDJ for 'soul power' B/W 'sly girl'... That I always believed never to have been pressed up to be promoted as such on Tuba as I'm still incline to strongly believe the Stax (March 1968) to predate the Tuba Detroit release.

Definitely promo'd on TUBA. I have a blue one. Not many about I'd have thought as it took me an age to get it.  Dave

Wow OK is it possible to see that ?

Plays "Sly Girl" on the other side as you'd expect.

Not what you're looking for, but I  have this French (?) ATCO demo/sample/Test thingy!

(thought I'd add it just out of interest for some who like non-UK/USA releases)

I’ve got one of those, no idea of value?

[Tlscapital]

Not worth more than the stock in "picture" (art) sleeve IME. These are not collected as such and don't even sound that good (although not bad either) the best ones being the USA Volt pressings evidently.

Picture sleeved French Atco are collected. The Tuba (3 pressings including the now revealed to the world 'plug side' promo copy) releases are also collected even if the mix of 'sly girl' is cut shorter than the Volt.

I've seen the blue promo, but never a white one of "Sly Girl".  I HAVE, however. seen a few different white promos of other Tuba records, so they did use them for a while.
