No I sold it to my Italian friend last week I'm afraid...well I've still got it here, but I'm posting it tomorrow

Your italian friend is waiting for the postman...

Definately stamped on my "Help Wanted" but in a "written" styleee`

Difficult to see now on the LoL demo with it going dark and no natural light but it could be scratched ill bow to your knowledge Pete

There is actually something on the "Sanded" side as well, VOL number and something else but hard to make out....wonder what was on there before it was sanded?.....definately something cut on there!........possibly the theme from PINGU?

Go on....own up...........who`s tried playing it then?

Some of the single sided demos did have the other sides pressed and then 'sanded off' to ensure the 'right' side was played. I can't check as I'm away at the mo but there is at least one with smooth 'B' side.

It appears that where the demos are double sided they are all double sided and where they are single they are all single. I'm not sure why they issued some as double and some as single but have to confess to trying to play the flip to the demo of Together Forever but alas not a trace of Dynamite Exploded.

I think there are two different 'legit' issues on many of the run, blue writing on pale blue and black writing on even paler blue. I suspect that the palest blue with black writing were first presses. Memory tells me JM lists the differences in one of his guides.

My single sided 'Rules of Love' WD doesn't have the 'Rules' crossed out.

I was always under the impression that the 1sided "Rules of Love" demos were a lot harder than the 1 sided "Laws of Love" demos but all of the copies on Popsike are "Rules of Love". Have I got it wrong way around?

No Mate, you haven't

The Copies with "Rules" Not Crossed Out are the Rarest.

Then the copies with "Rules" Crossed Out.

Followed by this one.

If a Stock Copy ever turns up with "Rules", which is thought not to exist. It would take first place.

As I have already mentioned in another thread about this record.

Way back in the Early 70's before Information was widely known

and I was just starting to turn my attention big time to U.S.A. records

I had a copy in my hands with "Rules Of Love" on,

the thing that I can't believe is that if it was the DEMO surely I would have bought it, without thinking.

Still leaves me with an element of doubt, and hope that someone will get Lucky and find one.

However, Most would say that the "Rules Of Love" Stock Copy doesn't exist.

Oh for a Time Machine, but that don't exist either.

Never seen a miss titled issue, had a couple of rules demos one crossed out & one not, most of the copies i've seen over the years have been crossed out & re titled.

Anybody ever seen a studio acetate or test pressing ? now that would be nice

Right, I have Arctic demos with sanded B sides, ordinary B sides, and blanks - a real hodge podge.

I still need "Chains of love" to complete - anyone ?
