thats the thing, those reissues are pretty dam near.. cheers guys..

Not quite as exotic as some of the above, but made me very happy this week.... Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) / Tamla Motown Ray Charles - Don't Need no Doctor / Ampar

Thank God, the last day of Christmas Post!!! i thought this 45 had gone south, 2 months waiting and it turned up today... Ray Charles - I Don't Need no Doctor on Aussie Ampar.... Bloody hard to get on Aussie I can tell you, not a demo but beggars cant be choosers... notice they released it as 'Don't Need No Doctor'.... Mal.C

I like demo's... in fact Ive quite a few RCA 12" demos so basically I collect them, I do the same with Aussie Tamla, and I like British LP Motown Demo's as well... I know thats sad...

After this 12": Michael Wycoff - Looking up to you / RCA 12" Demo must be Mint or near Mint condition..label and vinyl... Best see the picture,.. Kind regards, Malcolm

other than the names mentioned above, some of which I'm aware of, I know of 4 other people who have this one.. lets face it they would have done a run of 500 wouldn't they?

did you buy of me, or me off you?

shame Ive had a Bell acetate and WD on Jamie of the Revels 45, be honest they were hard to sell so £100-£125 is what I rate that at.. depending on condition of course.. M

What's the question again?

Happy Christmas all.. And well done the soul source team...

is this the Date records recording by any chance?

The very ones, were they from a particular plant you think? Must have been
