Marshman Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Seeing a White Demo copy of this up for sale today got me wondering if anyone could tell me which is the rarer format - is it the issue or the demo and is there any difference in the value?

Robbk Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I don't know what mix of them made their way to The UK from the ;70s till now. But, when the record was out, I saw many, many more white DJ issues than orange store stockers. The latter was always very rare. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance, Darren The issue is the rarer of the two records. Demos go for anywhere between £100 - 120 and issues £150 - 200.00. A record well worth having. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chris L Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 This was the very first record I heard when I knew it was a Northern Soul one, the Catacombs, March 1972 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Marshman Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 What a great introduction. No wonder you got hooked I first heard it mid-80s and loved it ever since... I always assumed the issue was the rarer as more WDs seem to be offered for sale but looking back on popsike it was roughly 50/50. I have the issue myself and would never part with it.

45cellar Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Only had the one chance of the Stock Copy and bought it. Bought the DEMO around the same time (Early 70s), have seen other DEMOs since. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

John Benson Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I was given an issue copy back in the early 80's - it's cracked right through to the middle, but still plays fine. I could have sworn it was styrene though? I'll have to go and find it out to be certain... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
