Guest allnightandy Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221040688244&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en I have one of these on a white label cameo parkway IMO it is a Canadian issue as most CP records came out on black and white labels in Canada My copy i bought from a dealer in the States a few years ago the label is high quality the vinyl is superb and sound quality as good as any record i own I know that Selecta Disc booted this on a white label back in the 70's but that is a really crap recording with a very poor quality label i have several CP records in this format some with promo writing some just plain the ones with promo written on them i assume are American demo's the ones without i assume are Canadian issues Anybody know the answer ?

Pete S Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Andy this is a tough one, there are at least two bootlegs on the black and white label, one has shocking sound quality, the other is fine. A few years ago I bought a black and white "demo" from the States, when I got it it looked totally legit, I just couldn't decide, when I showed it to John Manship I don't think he'd had this particular one before but we both decided it was not legit because all demos are actually red label copies. As far as I know, there is no white demo. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

No Pete , i'm not saying it's a white demo i know all the American demos are red and black , i was thinking of it more as a Canadian issue which were just black and white ?

Dave Pinch Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) does it say anything about being pressed in canada....the ebay listing is a 70`s repro Edited June 8, 2012 by dave pinch Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
45cellar Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The Canadian Stock Copies are Indeed White & Black and even though they are Vinyl, both similar Layout as the West Coast U.S.A. Copies. By that I mean the Title at the Top for a Cameo Release, and the Artist at the Bottom. However there is an X at the end of the Number on the copies that I have seen. Also Canada Reference at the bottom of the Label. U.S.A. West Coast STYRENE U.S.A. East Coast VINYL For Parkway the same design as a West Coast DEMO. U.S.A. West Coast STYRENE This release also came out on Cameo. Notice the Label Credits. Title at Top, Artist at bottom on the West Coast Styrene U.S.A. West Coast STYRENE Artist at Top, Title at bottom on the East Coast Vinyl. U.S.A. East Coast VINYL 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter99 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Blimey Roger, you're getting even quicker with all this technology! Brilliant stuff. Thanks Peter 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
45cellar Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 If this is the Design you refer to it has a Straight Copy of the West Coast Label Layout. Title at the Top. Which would also be true of a Canadian Copy. However, the exact nature of this (Label Layout) being so exact makes me suspicious as to it's Origin. The Precise use of the West Coast Label Layout on a White DEMO which appears to be Vinyl ? PopSike.com U.S.A. West Coast STYRENE The U.S.A. Known DEMO's are Indeed coloured. PopSike.com U.S.A. West Coast STYRENE U.S.A. East Coast VINYL Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kris Holmes Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I know this is an earlier 45, so may not be of any help, but there is precedence for white label non-promo US press vinyl with the artist name up top, may be another pressing plant variation?

45cellar Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Normally I would expect at least 2 Different DEMOs for the CAMEO & PARKWAY releases. One exception would be CHUBBY CHECKER (AT THE) DISCOTHEQUE EAST COAST WEST COAST Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
