Kev Moore Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Here's the Edwin Starr. A bit battered but that's how I found it. Plays fine though. Found in a bookshop in Brighton many years ago for £6. Kev Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I recall him saying the hardest british one to track down was Tony Middleton. Kev Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I remember pulling out of a box down the 100club around 1986/7. Didn't think much about it at the time because it was doo wop. Wasn't it on the Pama album as well?

Yes Mate, I've Seen It. In Over 40 Years I've Only Ever Held 1 Polydor White DEMO. That Was Approx 1970 When I Found & Left A Title (Non-Soul) In A Second Hand Shop. Only Just Started Collecting & Remember Thinking Afterwards Should Have Bought That, Stunning Label. A Point In Time That Makes Me Realise Just How Special These DEMO Are.

Guest ganesh Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 a nice tony middleton uk polydor demo from popsike, now when i was collecting all those years ago that was a uk release i really wanted - got a paris blues on mala, but "to the ends" was big at the time and i felt over priced on us mgm - funny enough at the time i probably would have got the uk demo for much the same price as a us copy then as nobody wanted uk - even though it's tons rarer - but what a voice that man had Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
