John Manship's Auction 20.08.08

I swear I don't ever remember seeing that record before in my life. But if I did sell it you, it was a mistake, it was my best mates record and he's asked for it back so if you could do the decent thing...

Yes, but your best mate borrowed it off me!!!

Just had a look on >>> PopSike.com <<<

All are Lilac Stock Copies, just like my copy.

At least Three different DEMO Variations though.

ALL SCANS COURTESY OF PopSike.com

I'm guessing that this is the White DEMO to that release.

Top one definate west coast styrene press (Delta 60446) and has still got the RCA machine stamped matrix number T4KM-1792-1-A which i've never noticed before on a Monarch press and also scratched in ALI 175314 (Iis this the motown master number?)

What is the value of the demo then .Paid £30 for mine at the Ritz about 8 years since

Difficult to put a price on it as I haven't seen one Sold as a West Coast DEMO.

The PopSike / Ebay price was $190 11-03-2008

However, to my way of thinking that copy slipped under the radar.

The Stock Copy went for £409 as mentioned in this thread.

I believe that the West Coast may also be it's rarest White DEMO format.

You are certainly right, MONACH seemed to have retained the "SOUL" label blanks and used them up on #'s from 35020 to 35029. But there are some of these #s in vinyl using the lilac & white design also.

Frances Nero I've never seen in vinyl (or can't remember) as a White & Lilac but other commoner #s from 35020 to 29 I certainly have.

Bit puzzling, but you are 100% correct in assuming a lilac and white label in the 35020s is much more likely to be a West Coast Monach press, than a vinyl press.

#29 the label universally changed as I've never seen a 35030 in lilac and white.

I have just received an email from Carl Pellegrino at Motorcitymusic who isn't a member yet but wanted to contribute with the following scans.

When the lovely Dave Rivers gets 12million hits a month on his record box, I think he'll sell it.

12 million people looking through my record box??? when are they coming, better make some tea & sandwiches for them.
