Thanks boba. Think I'll just keep both.

Thanks everybody for your comments. I've just looked on Popsike and all the white label copies have "Disc Jockey Advance Sample NOT FOR SALE". Mine doesn't? Think I'll sell the white label copy.

Anybody?

My yellow label copy does but my white label copy doesn't?

Again, I have two copies of this record, both in mint condition and both on vinyl. One is a yellow issue with a very official looking stamp in the runout grooves. The other is a white label copy but without anything that shows that it might be a demo. This white label copy does not have any kind of stamp in the runout grooves. Might the white label copy be a boot? The quality and look of the record would suggest not. Can anybody help with some informative comments. Can't make my mind up which one to keep. Normally I'd just keep both but I really need to trim down my collection a bit.

I have two mint copies of this on Josie. One is on styrene and one on vinyl. Which is the rarer? Which one would you keep?

I have two copies of the above titled record, both with Million Words on the flip side, released somewhere between 1959 and 1961. I Need Somebody was also released on Webcor 101 in 1961. Anyhow, my question is this; Apart from the slightly different font styles used in the word JUDE, beneath the 45 RPM, one has written Merrymount Music, the other, more modern looking copy, has Marrmount Music written. They both have the same stamp in the runout grooves, which looks like a capital L with a wavy line underneath it, or a capital L with a w underneath it. Can anybody help me understand whether the more modern looking copy, which is almost mint, is a boot or a repress? Sods law dictates that the more original looking copy is only Vg but still very playable, with just a few little crackles here and there.

Hahaha, nice one

So, you have the white Demo then Sebastian? Cool. Like I said, never knew of, or seen a Demo of this before.

Never seen, or heard of, a white Demo.

A Demo, or a booted copy?

Can't make that. But is that being organised by Adey Pierce?

I do have trusted friends to do it for me if I were to ask but to be honest, I'd rather do it myself . . . . . in fact, I've just made a start, this morning. God help me!!!

It does. Thanks.

If you had to ask that question then you would never understand the explanation.

Thanks Frankie. Does that go for ISAs etc as well, re avoiding inheritance tax?

Thanks for the offer Dave but I'm not selling them, just asking how I can 'very roughly' value them for the sake of my Will, which I've finally found time to write. However, to answer your question; 60% British, 40% American imports. Good collection of British, including a large selection of Twisted Wheel originals, all the first 100 TMGs, every black Chess, lots of Stateside, London, Liberty, Columbia, Parlophone, Vocalion, HMV, UA, CBS, etc, etc, many Demos amidst them all. Plenty of rare R&B and a few rare Northern. Also includes about 400 British labelled Lps from the 60s. I don't suppose the figure for my Will needs to be that accurate. Does it? That accuracy will come to matter if and when I ever made an insurance claim on them. Fingers crossed I never do. I haven't got time to go through them all, 70% of them are at my Mum's house, and condition would have to be considered, although most are excellent. Does any of this help towards a rough estimate?

Hee hee, you little tinker penny
