Having a ball picking up some nice little bit's and bobs got this for pennies recently and reckon it's pretty hard to find on a White Thomas Demo? great record at the best of times, be nice to get a thread going of what we consider maybe common records on stock/issues but perhaps elusive on a demo.

Certain DEMOs are difficult to find from a different pressing plant such as these "West Coast" Temptations below.

I have been looking for a copy of MY GIRL on a DEMO for years, finally found one, arrived last week.

Did you get it with the picture sleeve Mark? If not I may be able to help :lol: If you wanted one of course

Nice find Mate.

Which DEMO did you get, not seen too many over the years.

This one has "45 - X 132 RE" Stamped on the "BE A MAN" Side Deadwax.

This one has a 5 turn Deadwax runout on the "BE A MAN" Side with scratched deadwax info.

Stock copies of both exist, different pressing plants as far as I'm aware.

Either way, nice find & a Bargain too.

This is hard on white West Coast demo

Definitely & as Mark says "Beautiful"

Another eight white demo's which I think are pretty tuff to find, love the Symbol/Eastern/Broadway ones.

Eddie & Ernie - WOW!

What a brilliant record, too, Mark - seeing your demo has made me want to go upstairs, dig my stocker out and have a stomp round the record room to it.

One of those classic fllorfillers that has almost been airbrushed out of NS history, unfortunately....

I remember playing this out a couple of years ago, didn't exactly clear the floor but didn't go down too well

I raised a question on here recently Tony as to would a roots/classic spot work on today's scene, I did'nt mean the tried and tested top 500 either I meant the West Hampstead ethos pre 100 Club type of thing, but I think the question got a little confused and lost slightly, guess I mean all the best bits put together and presented bang slap in the middle of a night. Eddie And Ernie is sublime.

No, its sound belongs to another time and another place, I'm afraid.

Still runs rings round half the poorly recorded, badly sung and played rarities that get discussed here, week in week out, though....

...in my opinion, of course.

One that perhaps some people don't know Chalky or don't remember, find it strange when from what I can see the uptempo records are what people want again in the main at nights?

I basically agree but still think there is a place on today's scene for records like this. Crying shame when too many prefer to listen and discuss some of the retro crap that is released these days and some of the second rate funky stuff and records such as this are ignored.

You'd think this would be one everyone knew Mark. Nice white demo btw

Makes me think Chalky that perhaps it's time to sort the wood from the charf mate, if you spoon feed people sub standard Funk records and tell them they are Northern shit sticks I guess lol

Hi

Love these classics on Demo recently missed Breaking down the walls - club classic - But looked the buisness

Stin

Hi Mark

Pitty you cant get a classy player as cheap

Another perfect ten sexy white demo's, I think The Sheppards Mirwood Demo is very sexy indeed lol

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Strangely enough I played this out at the weekend, also off a demo, spooky?!

Eddie & Ernie that is!

I see Pete Smith has a west Cost demo for quite reasonably priced at the moment.

They are Virtually Impossible to find Mark, nice one.

They never, ever turn up.

Yet to my reckoning there should be 3 Variations for the DEMO.

Here's the Stock copy for your White DEMO.

A West Coast Monarch Stock Copy (Assuming there's a DEMO for this press)

But where are they hiding.

HI ALL SOME RELAY GREAT RECORDS , LOVE THE EDDIE & ERNIE, STILL GOT THE MAMIE GALORE DEMO, ORIGINALLY FROM John ANDERSON £1.5O, AS I HAVE ONLY ABOUT 500 US 45's AS MY FOCUS IS UK SINGLES, LARRY ATKINS LIGHTEN UP WAS A GOOD ONE TO GET, ALWAYS RARE, AND THE INPOSSIBLE TO FIND BACK IN THE 70's WAS EARL WRIGHT THUMB A RIDE CAPITAL DEMO, IN THE END WE ASSUMED IT DID NOT EXIST, IS THIS TRUE TODAY? HAS A COPY TURNED UP, IF SO IT MUST BE A BIG PRICE TAG IF YOU TRIED TO BY IT?? DAVE

Hi Dave

Guessing that we've all been looking for them over the years.

As far as I'm aware the U.S.A. Thumb A Ride Capitol DEMO doesn't exist.

Another that doesn't exist "Out On The Floor" CHARGER DEMO.

Loving the information coming out of this thread, so did they do Charger O O T F demo's or just did'nt bother funny when the other titles exist on the demo, got me thinking now to which other records never had a demo produced, must be a few?

Regards - Mark

Edited February 23, 201114 yr by Mark Bicknell

I reckon the Emanuel Laskey - Run For My Life is harder on a black issue - or at least no harder on a WDJ

Cheers

Capitol went through a phase of not doing 45rpm demos for a while.

So there are no USA demos 45rpm of Alaxander Patten, Patrice Holloway - Stolen Hours" or Earl Wright,

Having sold most of my records years ago this is one I've held on to . Not sure how common it is but Sue white demos don't seem to be around in large numbers. I once had a sort through the remains of Soul Bowls Sue/Symbol/Eastern stock but out and there were no white demos.

Is there a demo for James Fountain ''Seven Day Lover'' on Peachtree? I asked a while ago and got no reply or answer so maybe there wasn't one but can anyone confirm.

Rick

Seeing Mitch Ryder on New Voice, how about Kenni Wells- Is'nt it just a shame on promo. Am I the only one of a handfull who thinks this is the absolute dogs doo-dahs.

DOO, sorry guys, saw the new voice label & thourght of that one, great soul but not classic soul for this thread. How's about Bobby Bland Shoes then?

Yes had a Bobby Bland - Shoes Pink Demo but sold it about three years ago now, so they are around but pretty tuff to find.

Never been able to understand the fuss about demos - boring white labels. Give me some colour any day - especially if its in a picture sleeve. And many stockers are far harder on issue anyway - black RCA's are the dogs

Love demos myself, although I don't buy them as much as I'd like. There's something about them I just love. I don't even like colored demos as much as white ones. If you don't get it, it's impossible to explain it to you,

That Walter Jackson pic sleeve looks nice, though.

Nice scans Mark, dug a few out, ........ steve

....and a few more...steve

Yeah, I can't find the thread now but I remember Manship giving the reason and the numbers of the period where Capitol didn't do demos.

Here it is >>> EARL WRIGHT (Reason why no DEMO) <<<

I'm liking this thread. I do know that Ian Gee has got the Sassy demo, also the 'Like' (Rex Garvin) and also the (Impressions) cant satisfy white demo. most probably got a few more listed/shown

Here it is >>> EARL WRIGHT (Reason why no DEMO) <<<

Thanks Roger

Here's a few that were close at hand:
