Kegsy Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I have one stamp 235 on one side and 230 on the other. Just checked the U.S. original, I think its the playing time. Never really thought about it before. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Julianb Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) The time...playing time... I'll have to check but I think I have a few, all with 225 stamped on them. Surely they all can't be 2.25 minutes long Edited March 30, 2015 by JulianB Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 They don't all have 225 stamped on them for Gods sake, just do a picture search for yellow London demos and you'll see all different times. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) there takin some convincing lol That's ok Dave, I know I'm right, same goes for the Decca label demos too. One example of Green Onions on a goodle search, that is definitely the time, 4'00, despite it only being 3'00.
