I thought a man like you would know that sometimes there are more than one demo issued for some 45's in the US , that's why I used the term demo issue. As they may have issued more than one .
This is a web board but maybe we should treat our posts as if they are the text of a book when you are on the thread as you like to be picky and twist small sections of the post .
Not sure what pretty colours have to do with it Dave ??????
Let's use a real record and I'll keep it simple for you Dave the same way you make it simple for me
Daybreak I need Love
It was issued by the record company on ;
A white demo
Then issued on an Orange Demo
Then issued on an orange stock copy (official release)
The record company issued it at three different times with three different labels over a short period .... therefore you have a white demo issue , a orange demo issue and a stock copy issue (the official release).... and so the term demo issue or white demo issue is an acceptable term... you may not wish to use it but that's your choice.
I think you are mixing up the term issue with official release.... because if the demo issue is slated then there is no stock copy issued as an official release
Glad we got that sorted
all the best , i'm sure we'll do it again
