Recommended Posts

What happened regarding the DEMOs Just don't see many about.

Checker_1120_R.gif

Anyone seen a DEMO for these two?.

------------------------------------------------

Different Designs throughout the Labels History, "Rescue Me" being the Hit appears on almost All.

Checker_1120a.gif The "Checker Board" Variation,

DEMO's Extremely Difficult & the Red Label "Checker Board" not easy to find.

Followed by the Blue & White Checker.

Haven't Scans at the moment for this Design.

Many Thanks for the U.K. DEMO Scans, Obviously in the U.K. they re-promoted using a DEMO,

even though it is so well known, second time around.

But in the U.S.A. they appear to have continued to issue possibly without producing a DEMO.

Amazes me especially with the first copies as it was to supposed be a turning point for Chess (Motown Style Recording)

Not seen a DEMO, Yet, for the Blue & White Checker Variation either.

I wonder if it simply stayed on catalogue throughout all the different variations.

However, that wouldn't explain the lack of DEMOs when first released. :thumbsup: Definitely unusual. :unsure:

There appears to be little documentaion regarding Coloured Vinyl across the labels.

Wonder if it was an in house press or test piece, not seen one on Checker/Chess

Quite Rare I would say.
