here's some blurb from a rare "real original" white demo. Written in 2008.
"Meet Me Halfway/Mama (Tay-Ster TS 6016)
Lillie Bryant was 26 years of age when she recorded this extremely rare DJ Copy 45 for the New York City-based Tay-Ster label. She has such an incredibly beautiful and strong voice, so it should come as no surprise that this Jack Taylor-penned 45 is a perennial favourite and quintessential record that best exemplifies the Wigan Casino sound, ideals and sensibilities. To give you an idea of just how rare this Manship-listed 45 (valued at 2200 GBP) is, think of it like this: there are many Northern Soul DJs out there who love, cherish and want this record, but most of these DJs could probably spend 20 years looking for it out in the field and collector circles and still may never find it. Vinyl Grade: M-. There is some label wear in the form of water damage (dark spots) and the thinnest layer of paper is also missing from part of the label. The label is not as dark as it appears in the enclosed photograph. Also, there is a slight warp that does not affect play. The vinyl itself has a high gloss, and this 45 is definitely one of the greatest of the holy grail Northern Soul 45s.

I have recently spoken with a top Northern Soul collector who advised me there are probably less than 10 known copies of this record in the world."
