Denbo Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 I've had every record on British that I ever wanted, seriously. Got hardly any now but had four major collections. I honestly can't think of anything that I didn't have that I now regret not getting. That Fork In The Road issue I had last month is rarer than most other UK's, including Darrell Banks, Chapter Five, people just didn't realise it. But there is just nothing like a British red and white demo to get the pulse racing. Even a Billy Harner instrumental?
Denbo Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 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.
Denbo Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 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 Regards, Dave I've still got all three, all issues.
Pete S Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 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!
Pete S Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 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.

Guest Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 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.
Godzilla Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 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

Guest MotownDave Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 never likely to own a Billy Harner Instrumental or a Ben E King can't break the news , but I have seen and held both Mick Smiths a jammy git lol
