My previous thread regarding the different label design for President PT104 has pretty much run it's course but has thrown up another question. And that is, were all of the first seven releases on President of the same label design as PT 104, or is PT104 out there on it's own? So, I am asking all you kind folk here on Soul Source to check your collections to see if you have any of the first 7 issues on UK President and if so, would you be so kind, if able, to post a scan, or photograph, of the label so that me, and a few other nerds on here can put the debate to bed. Thanks in advance. Denbo.

Bought a few UK label Reggae Lps during my spell Djing at the Sink in Liverpool a few years back and seeings how I've had the whole day to myself in my so-called 'Study', thought I'd give them a spin. See if you can tell which Lp it is that I've been playing based on the following favourite tracks; Mary poppins - Tommy McCook Black Coffee - Ditto Moonlight Groover - Wiston Wright Breaking Up - Alton Ellis

Figured as much. Yeah, it was a good night, if a bit low key. Shame the snow decided to fall in bucket fulls on Donna's Birthday celebration. Didn't spoil things too much though. The upside was that we all got a MUCH BIGGER portion of the wonderfully moist chocolate cake that was on offer. REALLY was tasty. Of course Ady got by far the largest portion. :o) Nah, just kiddin', methinks it was actually Warren Boogaloo's slice that won hands down!!! :o)

Do you mean PT 100 or PT 101? Or, the first of the two scans I posted?

Fcuk off Ken. But true, it isn't that good a record. It's the label design that's of interest here. By the way, where were you at Donna's Birthday bash at the Social? Was hoping to meet up with you there.

I tend to agree. BUT, I would like further confirmation, which could easily be resolved with scans for Pt 100 or 101 to 103 inclusive, don't you think?

D'you know what, that sounds so ridiculous (no offence intended) that it's probably true!!! Nice one, thanks for posting. :o) Could do with seeing the US President logo before it too switched to the logo we all know and remember. Can anybody supply us with a scan?

W E L L . . . . . . every little bit helps Pete, you know that. Incidentally, can you confirm or deny the rumour that Dee Dee Sharpe "There Ain't Nothin' I Wouldn't Do" came out in the UK on Demo only?

This was reputedly released here in the UK as a Cameo Parkway Demo only!!! Wonder if Mick Smith or Pete Smith could confirm that rumour? Been after it for donkey's years. :o( Have you ever heard this?

Hi Tone, Yes, that's how I am able to pass on the US Sweet label copy to Neil as I replaced it with the said same copy on UK Pama Supreme some time ago. Neil DID snatch my hand off and has already paid. Am packaging it up for him as we speak. Denbo.

There you go. Now I wonder if it's JUST that one record with this label design, or every one up to and including this one, after which the label design changed to the one we all know and recognise? Was hoping for some input from you Pete. Perhaps Mick Smith could comment also? Is he on here?

Adds fun and interest to collecting, don't you think?

I've got one you can have. Say £10, including p&p. How's that?

Brilliant that Stuart, a most well thought out and enjoyable read indeed. Thanks for posting. Denbo.

I was the same with the two different label designs for UK President that I posted up last night. Go take a look. I know how interested you are in all things like this. :o)

Yeah, alright, got a bit carried away I suppose BUT it's just that after all these years, I for one have NEVER noticed this before. Guess they decided to make the change somewhere between PT 104 and PT 108, eh? Still, did they make the change because they made the change in the USA too? Guess so. But being a NERD, I wanna know for sure, and why!!! :o)

Here's one. :o)

Really? Got a scan? Now you mention it, I think I've seen one of those imports before, too many years ago to mention but you've jogged my memory. There might be the beginnings of an explanation for the UK version in that little snippet. Thanks.

Can you get in touch with this guy and ask him what he knows about the different label designs? Perhaps you could direct him to this posting so he can see the scans for himself? Thanks.

E X A C T L Y !!! :o)

I've been collecting UK labels on and off for donkeys years but have never noticed this before. Can somebody please explain? Does anybody out there have an answer for this? Indeed, has anybody else ever noticed this before? Look forward to your responses. Denbo.

Perhaps the buyer thought it was the same as the Sammy Ambrose record currently popular on the R&B / Mod scene selling for a fair bit more than £30 and bought it too quickly without doing any checking first. Might be wrong though.

Think you're right Pete, looks like letraset to me too. Those recordings you were gonna do for me?

You're a little swine you are. Don't worry Stevie boy, I'll find you one. Wonder if it ever got issued, seeings how both of ours are Demos.

And you call him your mate. You'd think he'd wait to post this AFTER you'd got one first. What a bar steward!!! Don't worry Ste, I'm still searching for yeah.
