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.

Just Arrived This Morning, Years Of Searching. Why So Hard To Find, I Don't Know.

As Promised I Have Started To Add Matrix Details In "THE SHARP END OF VINYL" DEMO & Stock Copy On STYRENE & Are Identical In The Deadwax.

Definitely Rarer "TOMAS" Copy. Never Had A Realistic Chance Of Owning A Copy. Only Ever Seen A Scan / Auction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEMO Next (In Rarity) ----A SIDE "CT-68010----------(MR)----------DELTA #71815" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stock Copy ---------------A SIDE "CT-68010----------(MR)----------DELTA #71815" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Both DEMO & Stock Copy Are STYRENE & Are Identical In The Deadwax ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beware, As You No Doubt Know Already, It Has Been Counterfeited/Booted Several Times.

Very Sad news . R.I.P.

Very Sad news . R.I.P.

Sad News Indeed. R.I.P.

Here's The Matrix From My Copy. The Matrix Stamp Poorly Stamped "AUDIO MATRIX" I Think.

Yes,Sebastian, Well Spotted Mate. Did It Arrive With That Sleeve, Or Is Sleeve From A Different Source. The Sleeve Is So Eye Catching, Never Seen One Before, Worried That It May Have Been Used To Distract. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions Now Must Be, Are There Others (Surely Not A One Off) Whatever Its Origin, Where Are The Other Copies Like This. Definitive On The Amount Originally Made. Ians 200 Is Closer In My Opinion Than 200,000. Possibility Of Different Pressing Plants Involved At The Time. If 200 From 2,000 or Thereabouts Would More Than One Pressing Plant Be Involved.
