Thanks Paul. I am Looking to start on European Copies of Certain Titles when funds allow.

Just bought the ABET DEMO. Noticed that my other copy has JUKE BOX Above the Number, R & B Underneath? Other Copies about without this on the Label, now wondering why they needed to specify.

It is a Styrene Press, Not A Monarch, Looks very similar to a ZTSC. Scratched "T1", Scratched "G-7058", STAMPED "R 4 K M - 9 9 5 4 - 1 c", Scratched "V091123"

Thanks Mate. Exactly my thoughts at first, then as you mention I noticed the Text deliberately Positioned to coincide with Logo, Same Position as the with New Logo.

Yes, Mate. I Have The Orange Trans-American Label with drumstick stamp, Always Assumed & Told That It Was The First Issue. However, The Evidence Of The Phone Number On The Yellow Trans-American with drumstick stamp Does Point To The Yellow One Actually Preceding The Orange Copy. Sorry About This, I Know What You Mean About The Lengthy Debate, As Opinions Do Differ On This Record.

Here It Is. >>> July 2007 <<< & An Earlier Thread. >>> February 2006 <<<

Slowly Getting There, I Have A Badge West Coast Jimmy Mack In The Post Hopefully. This One Arrived Today, Obviously Using Up The Label Blanks At The Design Change. First Time I Had Seen One Like This, Wondered If It Was Unique To This Release. G 7058 MARTHA & THE VANDELLAS JIMMY MACK / THIRD FINGER, LEFT HAND G 7059 THE CONTOURS IT'S SO HARD BEING A LOSER / YOUR LOVE GROWS MORE PRECIOUS EVERYDAY

This One Has P.B. In The Deadwax. Caught Me Out Back In The 70's. Bought A Real DEMO Soon After.

Many Thanks Steve Gotta Be The Rarest Format, A One Off Press I Assume. I Wonder If U.S.A. Chose To At Least Give It A Release Number Before Release In The U.K. Guessing That The Release Number Would Have Been Controlled Stateside & U.K. Followed The Sequence. As I Said Earlier, Fascinating Stuff, Thanks Again.

A Few DEMOs Listed On PopSike.com Much Rarer On A Stock Copy.

Vocal Or Instrumental Ann Perry-Thats the way he is Instant, From First Listen, Never Tire Of This Record.

Agree With All So Far. Don't Know About An Air Guitar. For Some Reason When I Hear "Thumb A Ride" I Suddenly Have An AIR SAXAPHONE. I Love Instrumentals, Always Have. They Have Their Place In My Collection.

Should Be, It Is My Old Deck But Still Plays At 45 R.P.M. As Far As I Am Aware. It Was Recorded Straight Into The Sound Card, No Other Processing Other Than Upload To Soul Source From mp3.

One Of The Records That I Have, Is A Stunning Copy Of Dee Dee Warwick - Monday, Monday - White DEMO. It Is Mint To Look At, Absolutely Perfect, Until It Is Played, I Think It's Needle Burn.

Not Even Thinking Of Selling It On & You're Probably Right, But Just Goes To Show How Difficult Grading Can Be Sometimes. I Took The Picture Yesterday, Sun Shining, To Show All The Surface Scratches.

This Is How It Looks

Many Thanks For The Info. Does Explain A Lot Regarding This Release & Others. I Believe That There Was A Test Pressing Believed To Be East Coast Auctioned The Other Year With Written Credit. Such An Amazing Record To Miss Out On A Release In The U.S.A. J J Jackson Recorded "But It's Alright" In London. I Wonder How Many Others, Fascinating Stuff, Thanks Again.

Sorry, Was Done In A Rush, Before I Went To Work. Delta # 71815 = Part 1 (ASide Matrix) 1 O'Clock Pic. Delta # 71815-X = Part 2 (BSide Matrix) 3 O'Clock Pic.
