Rarest White Demo
Talking of bleached or washed out records etc, There was a Earl Wright on Capitol doing the rounds in salebox late 70s. Anyway the "Thumb A Ride" side was white but the black writing had not faded, the other side was quite normal colouring. It was been talked about before on here, that a certain person from York getting very excited when he saw it.

Rarest White Demo
Paul, You could be right about the Players being a issue, but when I saw the scan that Andy Rex but up, my 1st thoughts where that's what we all had back in the day. Martyn, No idea what this goes for now, but it was about £2 at the time. P. S. I have checked the scan again and it is the same as my old copy. Reguards Dave.

Have You Ever Bought The Wrong Record, Thinking It Was Something Else?
I found a UK copy of this in a junk shop, and sold it to a mate, I never played it, this would have been late 72 or early 73. So nearly 40 years later I find out it is not the same record.

Have You Ever Bought The Wrong Record, Thinking It Was Something Else?
Funny thing is me and Andy Lett was talking about this on facebook last week Ginger did the same thing with "Lighten Up" in the 70s. I have always loved both versions even back in the 70s
