Hi I have 2 versions & im trying to identify which is the original or if indeed both are. The one i`ve had for years is AGP 108 RED BOTTOM / BLACK TOP with the writting "An american group production " in black on the red background.

The other i`ve just come across today, has the same matrix stamp & number 108 but has a white banner running across the top which has "an american group production" written in it.

I`m gonna sell one so just want to know which one i should to keep for myself!

Thanks.

Both originals, just different pressing plants for regional markets. The matrix will be the same because that's on the master sent to the respective plants.

American Group Productions (through Bell) pressed at Bestway in New Jersey (the white banner copy you mention), ARP in Michigan and Plastic Products in Tennessee to name just three plants. I have AGP singles pressed at all three plants.

Keep the one which sounds best on your home record player as there's no financial difference in the various pressings. A white demo might be worth slightly more than the issue on this title as it was quite a big hit.
