Guest Budgie Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 From what I remember from the time it was never actually released at the time but a few of white sterling stamped demos turned up. After demand was created it turned up as a legitamate release on the pink label without the sterling stamp. The white demos without the sterling stamp are the definate boots/pressings. All the best Pete Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 the pink issue was booted also,I know about white demos.How do you know it's real The pink was not booted. The only real original is the white demo, the pink ones were pressed up due to demand from the UK. The white demo was booted but has Sterling Sound scratched in instead of stamped and the sound quality is poor. Not poor enough to drown out this apalling cacophony though Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Abbott Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 just as i thought - but the only original issue - even if pressed for demand is the pink one - ok second best to the propa demo. i blame pete smith Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Modernsoulsucks Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 TWO PRINT RUNS PERHAPS? . Sorry. No guessing. Dave reckons it's something to do with who is credited on label as distributor. Chess is GOOD cos that's what stamped DJ copies say. Red Lite is BAD cos that's the boot/repress due to Northern demand. That does ring a bell but Dave is also the guy who reckoned at Wigan that hec could tell what colour the label was just from the sound of the record!! In short,a nutter.

First of all let me assure Gavin and Cunnie that my posts of last night were not malicious in any way and Im afraid I'd been at the Tesco cream soda which always makes me hyperactive owing to the high count of artificial additives. That's my excuse and Im sticking to it. I could just have easily wrtitten that "Gavin Page has a point" but there's something about the name Cunnie that just lingers in my mind. Stuart, that was below the belt. Do I come on this site and draw attention to things you prefer to keep hidden but now the gloves are off!! Mr Cosgrove is both Scottish and ginger but despite this he has been able to lead a normal life. Sympathy cards can be sent to Stuart c/o this website. Actually I began to get somewhat disillusioned with the modern soul sound after a few trips to USA. Think I'd picked up Mother Fox, Record Player and 7th Wonder[T-Town]. This was in late 80's/early 90's and aren't they kinda 120mph and not very soulful. Gavin, I think we can meet halfway. Mr.M's is better off as a car park. Was it Bob who came up here to Macclesfield. Sold cars I think. He often mentioned you and said that one day you'd be as good a DJ as him. Next time you see him please say hello for me. My memory is getting worse. Pretty sure it was Bob,chubby with glasses. Southerner, but then we all are as far as Stuart's concerned. Facking too right,mate.

Sean Hampsey Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Simple explanation to a myth. As I recall, it was first played as a White Demo (as were many new releases at the time). I got my own copy before it was issued and it came through as a fairly new pre-release along with 2-3 other brand new Red Coach White Demos. Soon after it became big over here the pink issues came through in quantity, selling, up North, for around 70p each at the time. The record went on (after much political debate over its validity for the Northern scene) to become a monster and later an acknowledged classic. Long after the pink copies dried up (a few years) it got booted on a poorly pressed and poorly printed White Label Demo Copy. In the mid/late 70's few pirates wanted the extra overhead of trying to match the 2-3 colour printing process of the originals. Make no mistake, the pink ones were always 'proper' and genuine in so much as they were issued...as issues... soon after DJ promotion (on White labels), in exactly the same way as thousands of other 45's! So, no mystery. Just the normal course of record promotion in the early 70's. Sean Hampsey Edited March 25, 2006 by Sean Hampsey Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
