What do we all think are the really rare/hardest to find white demo's. If this has been done before, sorry.

Dave

Hi Dave.How many Exit's wdj's turned up.? A box of 50 or 200?.The Carole Waller wdj boot has foggy print.I'm guessing the original may have clear,defined print?.

Got this VERY cheap from ebay last year. Nashville Matrix. Was never sure about what shade of green/yellow etc were proper 1st issues so felt safe buying the WDJ!

Thanks for posting that Roger. I don't think you see this format at all compared to Festival or Hungry.

I wonder if Dave Moore has it too, or anyone else?

I also always had this one down as a tough WD...so you can imagine the grin on my face when I found this one whilst out digging in amongst all the R'n'B bits?!

By far the best version of Right Direction

Hety Marc,

Pretty sure that's mine! Have to dig it out to confirm! Unless you have one exactly the same?

Dave

Hiya Dave, might well be a scan of your copy. I have it in a file on my computer entitled "WD`s" . Might have have taken it off ebay or such place years ago. Hope you don`t mind. Same goes for Gwen Owens, mine is a issue.

Another contender for a rare WD might also be Al Williams " I am Nth." L Beat. Sorry, I can`t scan mine but as its water damaged it aint completely white anymore anyway LOL.

Hi Marc,

I thought I recognised it.

I've not got the AW La Beat Demo. Palmer for me at the minute. I'd like a nice La Beat WDJ though. The hunt goes on!

Regards,

Dave

Had a stone minter of TONY CLARKE off John Anderson in the 70,s. It really did look a treat with the silver embossed chess logo all over the label. Unfortunately I sold that copy, but have recently (2 years ago) acquired another but in only

VG condition oh hum!!!

I have a lovely WEST COAST demo of JOHNNY HOWARD on BASHIE ....I dont think you see many of these.

And a Bashie WD of the VISITORS which I think is pretty rare.

Don't see too many of these around come to think of it

Not the rarest WDJ by a long way but a very nice one

Cheers

Richard

 

That CODY BLACK WD looks great I would say its a lot rarer than more expensive desirable promo's.

I have a dark blue and silver first issue vinyl promo of CODY BLACK which you also dont often see.

Have just won on Ebay today a WEST COAST WHITE PROMO of BARBARA MILLS on HICKORY for the

massive sum of $23-00 dollars... I dont think a lot of people know how rare this is !!!!!

I 've just put a sales list up on soul source including a copy of the Masquraders "A Family" on a Tower white demo, can't remember seeing too many of these.

I believe this to be very rare, only ever seen 2 copies one in Detroit and one over here, anyone on here got one.

I have 2 copies, one on a issue, and the white demo.

i'v got a hi-fidelity- WORLD PACIFIC 411a. of LES McCANN "big city--route 66 W-PROMO. (sorry no scanner)

Again, not the ROR but hard to find W/D

 

One more to think about. Over the years I've trawled though thousands of De-Lite 45's, but as a percentage rarely see W/D's, anyone got one of 'Dreaming a dream'

I see the occasional De-Lite white (and black) US demo over here...and if I'm lucky I may also see another one of these one day

Now then, if you ever see another of these you've got a buyer.

what a cool design really.

good record too,,,,,

It was a Bob Catteneo and Harold Andrews project out of San Fransisco. Was un-sucessful locally, but then a few years later a lot of the un-sold stock came to the UK, but non of the demo's as these had all been sent out to local DJ's etc in SF. Now days it's only £15-20 record, but as others say a great overlooked tune

I got this from an old DJ that had been in SF.

Ted,

The label says "only loaned out". Can I have the address of your library?

Is that the correct period sleeve for that release number?

I am not sure. (It's the one it came in.)

If not and anyone has a contemporaneous cover, please get in touch.

Edited October 19, 201014 yr by johnmcc

I would think so. I can`t think of a later design at present but do remember the older design which had class written in a vertical direction.

wow, touche nev, indeed I haven`t seen that one before. But I still believe you would agree the issue is harder in comparison to the WD ?
