There I was going through a sales box...oh that's an Unsatisfied on a UK London issue.I bought it...but I have a UK London demo of it.I've a UK London issue of Darrow Fletchers Pain Gets A Little Deeper but I want a yellow demo.I already have the US copy.I bought a UK copy of Hope We Have recently as well... Why do I have to have certain records on UK.Is it a sickness others suffer from.??

had patrice holloway uk issue and demo....i think issue is rarer tho

I've still got both! Always wondered which was the rarer, which is why I probably kept both.

Had most of the stuff in the 80s when you couldn't give them away. A couple that did elude me though:

 

Roy Hamilton - The Panic Is On - MGM Demo (Missed one at a London Record Fair when Mick Atherton picked it up, at least I think it was Dave - May have been Dave Withers). .

 

Wayne Fontana - Give Me Just a Little More Time - Phillips ISSUE

 

Fathers Angels - Bok to Bach - MGM ISSUE

I've still got all three, all issues.

I have a HL on Stateside issue. It has a r/w 'not for sale' Demonstration Copy sticker attached. Does this count as an issue or a demo?

 

Issue!

Even a Billy Harner instrumental?

 

No, never had that, but I did say 'everything I ever wanted to have', and that wasn't on my agenda at all as I knew I'd never be able to afford one.

with 'sol'.

Good riposte.

I have recently purchased a near mint red and white polydor demo of Edwin Starr SOS,that's a tough one.Also got a mint red and white Darell Banks stateside demo of which if I got a good price for it would put towards a London copy Chris.

I've bought a few British things over the past few years and it was only when I put them together that I realised that they were almost all the jazzier side of soul records:

 

Nancy Wilson - Ode to Billy Joe - Capitol demo; Lou Rawls - Season of the Witch - Capitol demo; Peggy Lee - Sneaking Up On You  - Capitol demo; Della Reese  - Very Good Year - HMV demo; Cleo Jons  - Shortest Distance - RCA demo; Ella Fitzgerald - These Boots -  Stateside demo; Anita Harris - Lies - Vocalion demo; Jon Hendrircks - No More  - Verve demo; Mark Murphy  - Why Don't You Do Right - Philips issue, Jimmy Castor - Hey Leroy - Philips issue; Young Holt - Wack Wack - Coral issue.

Maybe some others that are mixed in with the US 45s...

 

Not sure why I ended up buying mostly jazzy stuff on UK editions but as I seem to be heading down that path I'd welcome similar recommendations
