The promo was to be a black on white issue, slated for red vinyl.  I never heard of special demo records with tye store stock label and red vinyl.  Perhaps this was just a pressing error, that the wrong label was placed onto a red vinyl pressing?

I guess there was a special promo press run of several regular issues that had red vinyl for some particular reason.  I've just never heard why they did that. 

It would appear that the "Arp" Pressing Plant pressed quite a few Double A Side Stock Copy Labels.

I have quite a few on Black Vinyl plus this one on Red Vinyl

I always assumed that they were intended for some kind of promotion.

Thanks for the info Roger. What you say would seem to make sense re promotional items but the use of stock labels seems strange - not even a "promo" sticker on them?

ARP was located in Michigan, so it is Midwest, NOT "East Coast".  Motown used RCA in Eastern Pennsylvania and occasionally, a New York plant for East Coast distribution.

I have always thought of this region as the Eastern part of America as it is situated to the East. I didn't know that it has been classed as Midwest. Thanks for clarifying Robb. I shall amend my notes.

It is the one with No Time For You on the flip, red vinyl and picture sleeve if you can get it!
