Pete S Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 THis is a UK London demo of Green Onions but I've had that record myself and I swear there was no A on the label, obviously it's a real demo but has someone letrosetted that A on do you think? https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Booker-T-the-MGs-Gre...bayphotohosting

Those recordings you were gonna do for me?

Genuine I reckon. -Kev.

Its mis-aligned, and goes over the writing round the edge....
John Elias Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Looks like it. Its mis-aligned, and goes over the writing round the edge.... it's pissed as a parrot
Kevinkent Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Looks like it. Its mis-aligned, and goes over the writing round the edge.... It looks like the script at the top of the label is misaligned with that at the bottom too, but I think it's just down to camera angle. Would have liked to see a straight on shot. Maybe I'm just gullible!

I bought several Motown Oriole label items C.1971 where someone had Letrasetted onto the labels. Not to deceive, but Letraset was brand new in the 60s, and I think he just got carried away with the novelty of it all!
Garethx Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Could have been done by someone in the library at a radio station rather than a fan.

OK well I can tell everyone and be 100% sure that the original demo does not have an A on it. If I could remember who I'd sold it to I'd get them to photo it. None of the London demos have an A on the label before 1963 or thereabouts, if the A is real, and you reckon it is, it must have been a repromoted record

Yeah I'm not on about the later demos though, there's about 10 different designs, the first one hasn't got an A on it though, nothing to indicate a or b side
