Soulman Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Scanned this out of my box and wondered how rare / valuable it was compared to the usual Philtown labels you see it on. (Zoom in and note that it's autographed too. Wonder who Vivian was?) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

purist Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 We've all got big regrets from our collecting life, and this is one of mine. I was at the 100 one nite and was gonna buy one identically labelled to this. Mostly I was gonna buy it 'cause I thought it looked so much better than the other labels of it that I'd seen. What stopped me was that it was during one of the several times during the scene's history when it was getting overplayed, but because it looked so nice to my eyes ( personal tastes) and unusual, I really wanted it. I was under the impression at the time that this was the rarest format ( think a review in one of the old fanzines had declared it such, possibly "thinking man's oldies" column in midnight express?) Can't exactly remember why I didn't come home with it, but when I didn't I promised myself if I saw a red one again I'd buy it. This was maybe 15 years ago and I aint seen one in a sales box in all that time, as I remember, hmm? Interestingly Popsike has 7 wdj's on Philtown, and 2 green/yellow issues. I thought there were two variations on white demo's, or am I wrong/getting it mixed up with 7th Ave? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Moore Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 DeeJay, You sure yours is the same label design? When I saw you play it about 6 years ago I commented that I'd not seen that variant before. I think yours was the same as the Yellow/Green green labe? (But obviously red).

Soulman Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Nice one "64"... Must admit though that the whole reason I put the scan up was because I've only seen a couple of "reds" but with a different design to this one. Probably need to ask Andy Dyson if his is identical.

Soulman Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 My red label copy came from John Anderson in 1980. The label layout was identical the the scan. I sold it on to Kev Draper. Andy Kev had quite a few things. Most of my stuff came from John as I only lived down the road from him and nearly always got the pick of whatever was new in stock. Marisa, his wife would always say "Here's George Michael" when I pulled up. Had hair back then, stupid hair at that!!! Anyway, think my copy came from Jim Wensiora in the late seventies which all fits in with the stats so far. I'm still eager to know which was the first release though (or rather design) as there seem to be more and more differences of opinion surfacing. Thanks for all the info so far chaps Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Parker Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Now here's an oddity Mine is a red copy exactly the same as the scan...except has "PROMOTION NOT FOR SALE"...Stamped on both sides Mine also came from SOUL BOWL Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Trev Thomas Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Ha so price guide not to far then and no sugar in mine thank you i never disputed the price, i disputed your theory that the red label copies are the most common, which, if you read the posts on this thread, seems to be the general concensus of opinion Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
