Never seen a demo, but I understand there are 2 red copies, I had one some years ago which was dark red label and heavy vinyl original, lighter red label may be a 2nd issue? Lee

I haven't seen it but I guess it will be all ears

Richard, I hope you are well, I thought you would have had a Motown collection sewn up given your affection for Detroit. I suppose not collecting Motown is much the same as me not collecting UK Soul labels, there are so many and where do you start let alone stop! My own Motown collection is maintained at a reasonable number of 45s and in my opinion makes for a tidy selection. Its generally based around the tracks I want to pick up and keep forever, choosing the White Demo format to make it more challenging, also adding picture sleeves where they were produced. I have occasionally come across oddities like the Temps 6-Track EP on Gordy, mine came with jukebox inserts and promo photo, so very nice all round. Of course where I haven't been able to pick up demos the issue for particular releases will suffice. I have had many more pricier Motown 45's in demo / issue format over the years, but if they are not for keeps they go on the sales lists. I can't imagine you will find it difficult to put a collection together given your knowledge and taste………. enjoy! Best Regards, Lee
