THE COMBINATIONS - WHILE YOU WERE GONE - SOLID ROCK - (Soundclip from Refosoul Archive) Totally Agree, Brilliant Record. Here's One From PopSike Label Not In As Good Condition As Yours, Just Wondering If The Raised Part Attracts Wear Naturally Due To It Being So. PopSike.com

I Keep Looking At, But Never Used (YET!) PayPal Postage Print Address, Stamp etc. Now Wondering If This Is A Better Option Than I First Thought. Or Is This The Option You Used To Buy Stamps Online.

Hi Piko Yes, It Looks OK To Me Too. Incidently, I May Be Way Off Here, Couldn't Help But Notice Similarities Of Press To This DEMO Variation Which Just Happens To Have A "Nashville Matrix" Does This Pin Point One Particular Pressing Plant I Wonder, So Unusual The Way The Label Molds To The Deadwax.

Both of these Have a "STERLING" Stamp BOTH Sides I'm almost certain that another Label Variation has been Posted on Soul Source in the Past.

I'm trying to remember if I've seen another Label Variation posted on Soul Source a while ago. These are the two I have. This Stock Copy has a "FOR DEMONSTRATION USE ONLY NOT FOR SALE" Sticker on the Flip

OK I know that this isn't a Detroit Sleeve, However; Are any other Labels known to favour a particular sleeve (Brown or White) Originally. This one sits in my collection at the side of the copy I play. I'm not sure if this was sealed at Factory from New. If so it would suggest Brown Sleeves for Money Record Label.

That's a nice Sleeve Andy, Definitely the first one I've seen.

Hi Kev I will have a look for that J B Promo Variation. (white label and purple and gold text) I love to trawl through the labels looking for the different Label Variations. Hopefully along the way uncovering a few things, There's so much of Information Apparently Lost over the years. If, I'm right (NOTICE THE BIG IF), I suppose I will be looking for the LATEST KING Records Number on a White Label. As the Yellow ones may be simply Re-Promotion of Earlier Numbers. However; certain DEMO's could become the rarest by default, purely due to Label Design Change, (whether they be Yellow or White).

Found the next number 6116 on a White DEMO, wonder if there's also a Yellow DEMO PopSike.com PopSike.com And a Yellow DEMO for this one, (is there ALSO a White DEMO?)

I'm wondering if it was Issued during the change from White to Yellow and Therefore both were made for Number 6115. PopSike.com I think that this one may be Yellow Only for Instance.

Hi Ken Only found this one from PopSike PopSike.com

Many Thanks Sebastian I don't have that many on the DAKAR Label to compare.

Not sure, I'll try to find something out. Here's the White one for comparison. Many Thanks for Posting The Metros Scans. PopSike.com

Here's the PYE International Single

Thanks for the Red Vinyl DEMO Scan for Motown M-1126 I'm not sure which came out first, Just another promotional gimmick I'm guessing, However there are still differences with some of the tracks. Wasn't "Stoned Love" Only Available as a 45 on Red Vinyl & Yesteryear using the Long Intro. Here's a Normal DEMO with both A & B & Double A Side Red Vinyl. The Label Credits are Almost Identical for the A Sides Except the Matrix Info On Label, Just Below The Jobete-BMI

Interesting regards Red Label DEMO Possibly being Canadian as I have been steadily collecting Canadian Labels from time to time. I have seen the DECCA Label that you mention, yet to own one though. Also notice that the Canadian Back Beat is Black similar to the Decca. I think that you may be right about the Telephone Orders, It would explain some of the Spelling Mistakes etc, also these well known titles to us now, were new & therefore not so well known so mistakes were Inevitable I suppose. I would love to see some of the DEFINITE Bootlegs of the period, so much has been left to pure speculation as we approach 2010. They could be easily be responsible for some of the Variations, that we now, 40 to 50 years later consider pressing plant differences.

Many Thanks, I'm not sure when the Red DEMO Was pressed, It has "SWEETEST ONE" both sides. The White one definitely Initial Release.

Certainly is John. Over the years before the Internet, different Variations were noticed. However, now we have the chance to compare stuff at the press of a button, many more things are now showing up. Many Thanks for the Debbie Taylor Scans, Just shows that almost every Label continued through the 60's & 70's without too much thought toward the Credits, as long as they're somewhere on the label. Different Font, Size, BOLD, CAPS, emphasis changing from one print run to another. All it would appear controlled by the Printer, without question from Label Owner. Even the Motown Empire where I had always thought that EVERY aspect was under close Quality Control Have Various degrees of attention to Detail where the Label Credits were concerned.

Thanks Pete. Have you seen any that were Issued on both designs during transition between the two.

Definitely a Monumental Task Dave, trouble is that there's so much Information lost through the years. If time were available, a Book would be brilliant as a reference, hopefully able to scratch the surface on this forum. It took years at Hitsville to try to find a scan of every DEMO & Stock Copy for Ric-Tic. We're almost there barring a couple that may never turn up. i.e. LITTLE ANN Ric-Tic RT-142 DEMO Anyone Seen a copy.

Here's a couple of Motown DEMO's, Different pressing plants, Beyond The MOTOWN Logo, the credits are a completely different layout.

I'm not sure when Dakar Label changed Design Dave, I will try to find out.

Me neither, that center reminds me of a Diamond label I have of "Chubby Checker" I think the Diamond label is Hong Kong.

There's two or three, I haven't seen before on there, Many Thanks for the LINK Dave.
