Dave Thorley kindly provided this information: W.S.D. Worldwide Sound Distribution were a minority owned business, of which there were many in the 70’s music business. Basically companies that were set up under a scheme to help minority owned business, Mexicans, African American etc, they got start up support and tax breaks. W.S.D. were from Memphis, Others that come to mind were IRDA from Nashville and Guinness Records out of New Jersey Back to your question yes the WSD white labels where the first release demos

The Innersection - Let me love yuh / I’m in debt - GROUP 5 RECORDS My copy has ‘W.S.D’ text under the world logo on the left (which is an acronym for Worldwide Sound Dist.). Discogs notes state this is the first demo release. Can anyone confirm this? Love the 30p price written on the label - I looked it up and paid £6 from PJ Ludlum in 1992. Was I ripped off!!!!! God I bought some amazing records from him!!!!

UPDATE: Another dealer mentioned a persons name when I was asking about the bootleg of the Anderson Brothers that I had and I posted this. No accusations were made and this post has been removed. I’ve messaged that person just in case it is really him. Apologise for any confusion or offence this caused.

Could well be!

Question. I have an Anderson Brothers ‘I can see him loving you’ promo on GSF Mine is on VINYL and has the prominent ridge 1/3rd of the way into the label which is sited as the boot BUT my copy has MONO labels on both sides. All the copies on Discogs etc have STEREO / MONO labels. The matrix does have GSFS1179 and GSFM1179 in the dead wax and it does play STEREO/MONO Run out widths are 10mm stereo 12mm mono My copy pics and at the end the Discogs pics of the listed boot. Do I just have another version of the boot that hasn’t been listed on Discogs???

No worries

I have U.K. issue VG+ for £4 + £2.50 p&p. Let me know.

First one I’ve seen

Nice!
