Hello and a Happy new Year to all Soul Sourcers :-)

Can someone please help me with pricing a record that I have been offered from a friend (not on here btw)

The record is an original US Parkway Demo copy of the 'Tymes - Here she comes', it is in what I would call VG condition at best?

Any advice please?

Thank you

If it plays HSC on the WLP, M is about £25 so VG+ £10

Not this one

No it's a USA Parkway Demo, and not the bootleg one either, a real one (I think). I have had the boot which is worth about 15-25, but I thought that the orig' demo would be worth quite a bit more?

Are you sure its a boot Steve? I will have a look in the dead wax for you.

P933 A or P 924BR but too the left of that a few small marks like an unprinted stamp name like MMM?

or is there a delta demo, styrene.

I have managed to get the seller to send me a scan, not a very good one to be honest, but by looking at it would anyone say it was an original? It has '12th of never' on the other side.

Styrene but a little bit rare, more than the usual WLP.

Should be easy with the dead wax, bet its a real one just WC copy.

If its the miss press P933B in the DW then thats only on an issue so a demo would be sheet rare.

Just noticed looking at the other copies on Popsike, that this one is different in as much as it has the 'Harp' logo on both sides of the label, and the 'Promotional copy' on the left hand side, and the 'Not for sale' on the right hand side? The others that I can see have only 1 'Harp' logo on the right side and the 'Promotional or DJ copy not for sale' altogether on the right hand side also? can't see another one with these markings.

No! I didn't see one but it is the 933 as well.

Malibu was the other side, thats the HSC 924 where 933 The 12th and 924 HSC is the demo or issue, the miss press with 933 The 12th HSC 933 but should be 924 ?

Roger will know more.

Im not sure if a 933 issue plays The 12th and HSC so its miss labeled against miss pressed for HSC is 924 in the dead wax only.

You got that.

Found it the issue. delta but 924 in dead wax and 933 on label both sides.

Thanks fella, hope I can get a worth, I want to buy it if the price is right, as Brucie said :-)

The one above was £20 mint on popsike. Rare one can go for more £50 to £100 miss press.

Here is some more info that I have had the seller send to me. I hope that this will help identify it and it's worth?

p924br, p933a, triangle shape- 54838, triangle shape-54132. There is also some type of mark, looks like an 'mr' inside a circle the other looks like an 'r' that almost loops around over the top of itself

Pure "allnighter-verballing"...nice one Tony and I understood everyone of your codes (happy new year matey!)

Great track Steve...every home should have one

As I see it:

• The demo in question is a West Coast Monarch made (injected styrene not pressed vinyl) copy of #933.
  
• It was released twice with 'Malibu' (924) and 'The Twelth Of Never' (933) on the flipsides.
  
• There is also a miss-pressed East Coast stock copy with the Drifters-esque, 'I Won't Cry Anymore', in the grooves.
  
• The West Coast demo is rarer than the East Coast demo (vinyl, so maybe preferred).
  
• There is an East Coast WD on my sales pages for £40!
  
• It is a timeless solid Northern Soul classic!
  

Kanpai!

its a styrene west coast demo if no one hasnt told you already,,,a little bit rarer than the east coast copy but still only worth £25/30 in that condition....your boot aint worth £25 tho steve more like £8............................ and i just read daves post above

If it's a VG don't pay more than £10.00 tops. Check the run-out and look for the very faint matrix markings, hasn't got one, it's a boot.

This was my sale way-way back in the silly-heady days of NS sales........................

Last year I struggled to sell an issue, think I got about £15.00 for it, it was EX+.

Good luck.

And it came out with a picture sleeve.....

Thanks for all your advise fellas, I'll tell the seller what I think.

Was about to type everything Dave typed above! It's not a rare record. I think the West Coast might be slightly harder than the East Coast though.
