This has just arrived in the post. It has the silver top on one side and box on the other. Anyone seen this on other London releases? At the moment I don't know whether to keep it or send it back. I bought it expecting It to be a first issue of Secret Home but I am guessing that it is the later release with an old 20-75 label used.

very strange, had this 45 many years ago with I'm sure the same design London 20-75 labels on both sides, does it look like a label as been stuck on 20-75 side?

Both labels look to have been stuck on at the manufacturers. 

Every collector has different ideas about such mis pressed records.

If it was my copy I certainly wouldn't send it back.

I would love to own it.

Thanks Roger, I think you're right. I will keep it. I only paid £9 for it so worth it for the novelty value.

You can always get another Silver Top. Where are you ever going to find another like this one.

As said others may differ but I am one of those collectors that would pay a lot more than £9 for such an item.

Well done. I'm pleased for you.

Anomolies are great.I remember having an Intrigues old label yellow demo when the issue is in the new box label.

 

Tricky

the top pic is 70's London  then 60's on reverse strange indeed

No , the 'box' design was in use from May 1967 (HL10135) through to 1979 (HL10577).

HI ALL

Really hard to value this rare 45, Mick smith had the Ben E King blank & Lou Johnson Unsatisfied on London Monument DEMO, & the Darrel Banks issue was found, however they are big money records, Charlie Rich has both labels, your record is very rare but at a guess is worth £40 tops to a UK collector, but it is a nice one to have.
