Are all copies issues or does a demo exist?

Pretty sure it's issue only.

same song on each side; indicating no promo of 'lonely'

I have seen a copy stating 'PLUG SIDE' on the INYG side, and not 'Promotional Copy' (as per the Popsike scan) with LFYB on the flip.

Ok. Thanks all for response.

My copy has Lonely for you baby as B side.

Other side is I need you girl with Promotional Copy printed on label.

As an aside still one of the best live performances ever... SD at Southport Weekender in I think 1989. Morec ambe I think

Agree with Dave, sure in the distant past there was one on Ebay.

It would appear from repsonse that my copy maybe a one off.

It's definetly a Demo and does have Lonely for You Baby as B side.

Any thoughts on value?

at least the price of the issue. but as i said . ive had one in my hands and so has dave flynn so theres probably one or two more kickin around. its the sort of thing JM would get £800 for in auction

A one off no, this was a fair sized record label and there is no way they would have done a pressing run of 1. There will be other copies around, Soul Source does not constitute the entire collecting world. But it's fair to say it's fairly rare piece and maybe worth as much as £500 + in the current climate to someone who cares enough to want to own a copy that says 'Demo/Demonstration over 'Plug side' as with the other promo's. Several standard issues, close to mint have sold at around £350 this year, so £500 would seem fair.

I'd hazard a guess that there could even be a few promos over here from the 60's since SSS licensed Gloria Taylor to Polydor so no doubt there'd be a few UK companies and/or personnel who were on their international mailing list.

Digging 'em out now is another thing entirely though..........

Didn't JM auction one not long back or is my memory not what it should be.

He did and that's where I got my copy.

Can't remember what I paid, but do remember thinking that it was a good price at time.

So I don't understand why would you ask 'do demo's exist', which they clearly do. When you knew they did and already owned one ?

PERSONALLY THINK THAT ITS JUST A MISPRESS WHERE A FEW DEMO LABELS FOR THE I NEED YOU GIRL SIDE GOT MIXED IN WITH THE REGULAR STOCK COUPLING LABELS.
