No takers on the Doris Troy, you must all be mad!

It was also booted as the demo in the top left of the picture, I don't know when but I didn't see one til the 90's. I know it's a boot - I've got one!

Sorry Jock, I haven't heard any of them but they are all sh*te

Only ever seen issues of this...

It did, but all Philips/Fontana/Mercury demos between 64 and 68 did (or a yellow not for sale stamp)

I've decided to collect Aussie 45's

mint £40 ex £25 mint minus £150 mint £70 mint minus £70 ex £80 ex £60 ex £40

Thats a US import you daft bugger

Same here peaking in early 77 for me...Wigan at the time of Herbert Hunter, lee Roye, Embers, Inspirations, Yum Yums, Adams Apples, Shane Martin, Jewels, Willie Mitchell...

I paid something like £175 for a copy of Try To Think off a UK based rock & pop auction back in 1999. It was described as "Gene Pitney copyist"!

Thats what I'm on about Gene, but thats the 2nd issue of the 2nd issue if you see what I mean, then it came out again in 72 or roundabouts

I asked John about this indeirectly but he never replied - that is the second issue not the first if it's the - it might be the first issue on that number but it still came out 2 or 3 years before with a different number - besides which, it's about as rare as something like Bobby Wells on Beacon. The promo you mention Bogue is from when it was repromoted, the first 'second' issue didn't have a promo.

Someone needs their head testing.

What a weird subject. And the Mac Staten record has nothing to do with the other Prelude label.

I've got a mint one on ebay, I had it on my list 3 times already, all of which were posted up here but as there were no takers I thought I might as well stick it on ebay. That link above is to the seller doing those bootlegs of marv johnson and jelly beans by the way

All I know it's pretty rare - alot of people have looked at it when I've had it for sale but they probably think it must be common but nobody remembers the last time they saw one. I paid about 35 quid for that one, which is probably about right, I think it books about 60 and others might be able to get that for it, I can't :angry:

That link doesn't work, was it Brooks & Jerry?

Might be cheap but it's hard to sell, I've had a WD for ages

Great - thanks, appreciate it - maybe I could get them cut back to back!

No they have to be in stereo and even then it doesn't always work. Actually that was a good program that, a karaoke thing

Lovely copy on vinyl - ERMA FRANKLIN - ABRACADABRA - EPIC9610 DEMO. Condition EX. £100 and free registered post.

I thought it was shite and should have been subtitled

I've heard it now - one for sale on ebay for $300. Fraid I prefer the Tommy T version, probably cos it's the first one I heard, but what I;d really like to hear is an instrumental version of it.
