Does anyone know if the white demos of Gwen Owens' Wanted & Needed 'jump' like some of the issues do?

I've seen two types of issue what I'd describe as "narrow groove, high volume 'jumpers' " and "wide groove, low volume, but play through fine'" copies.

Do white demos of both type exist?

The white demo i have does not jump. I doubt if a white demo of the other press exists. Anyone know of any other copies? Asked this before to no avail

Mick H's WDJ doesn't jump.

Carl Fortnum has 2 WDJ's so i,ve been told or did have !! ??? & an acetate of it ??, had one of them in my hand, was EX++ best copy i have seen but played slightly off centre with no jumps, all others i have seen have been vg at the most, the one that sold on ebay was a roughish copy but no idea who has it or how it plays , maybe Mark Speakman springs to mind ???

Ian.

Gwen Owens brought a small batch of this over with here when she came to Prestatyn, sure they were all ones that didn't jump.

john phillips has one. that didnt jump as far as i recall. i remember him buying it early 90`s

What does this go for these days?

Cheers

just watched a bootleg sell for £121 on ebay tonight !!!

must be around £2000/2500 now ?

Remember the ones GO had, wasn't someone pictured with them all down his arm ??

I bought the Ebay one. It was M- and not off centred and has no jump.

This was a few days after she appeared at Prestatyn. She brought 5 issues with her. 3 of one press and 2 of the other. None of them jumped. I believe this was the first moment that anyone realised it had been made several times.

what do you mean by that "made several times"......

Rob.

There are 2 presses of the record. those that have the jump and those that don't supposedly Can't remember which one came 1st at the moment but would imagine that the jumpy one had a pressing flaw so it was repressed says Sherlock

I bid on that WDJ on ebay and was happy to be outbid, put a scan up Pete please because the one i bid on was G/VG at most. label was very dirty so would like to see this minter ??

I can confirm that John Philips' copy doesn't jump, he's played it a few times at the Australian weekender. The recent 121 quid bootleg sales blurb never mentioned that it wasn't an original so you can't help thinking that this helped it to reach 121 quid. Bit naughty I thought.

Cheers..........Pete

Mint - my arse Pedro. It was G+/VG

I was second highest if you remember.

Certainly a toughie on W/D but they are around, just hard to prize off people. Great record, has it all. Big fat messy Northern Soul pounder! Luv it.

As far as I'm aware, Carl has 'only' one WD...came via Shifty

I am green with envy as this one still eludes me on a WD....Carl if you're reading this you know I deserve the chance to own it too!

You lot must have good jobs, whines the poor teacher. This is one of my favourite sounds ever, as Dave says, it lacks nothing. G+/VG sounds unplayable though. If a minter is 2,500 pounds, are we talking 50-75% less for a beat up copy for a wall-mount then?

out of interest..please correct me when I am wrong, but so there are

WDs jumping

WDs off center

WDs playing thru fine

Issues jumping and off center (first rel.)

Issues not jumping (sec. rel.)

?

If that is correct, obviously the non jumping later released issues would be the one most desirable ?

Think that demo was off-centre as well......

Oddly enough part of my job role is to employ teachers!!

Sorry Ian, don't own a copy, but if I did you could bet it would be a jumper.

i sold mick my issue about 7 years ago....a really bad copy that deteriorated and hissed badly about 1 and half minutes in.

Obviously too hard a nut to crack so I inquired with a dealer. He knows about

WDs off-center and jumping

WDs not jumping

plus

Issues jumping

issues non jumping

Some of these issues are distorted soundwise. Non jumping issues seem to be the rarer form though non of the mentioned releases is obviously easy to get by..

only one copy i heard did actually jump but most just hissed, wowed and fluttered -like they were going to jump but didnt.

mine didnt jump but 30 seconds into the disc and you began to wonder if it was worth it, it sounded like loud" white noise". and actually some lyrical content is lost to general play back, most likel;y phased out by the noise content-i spent hours with that record trying to come up with a magic solution to cure it. mainly to get my £55 outlay back-what a prat

chalky were they from different masters/stamps/die's etc I never saw one of those from Gwen herself, and the promo's never made an entrance early on either did they?

and what was the barnfathers "secret sound" played at wolverhampton last week

Gwen Owens brought a small batch of this over with here when she came to Prestatyn, sure they were all ones that didn't jump.

i thought you were a "half full" man mark

its only me that has jumper's (and water damaged) of most discs (call me filler)

Sorry Ian, don't own a copy, but if I did you could bet it would be a jumper.
