Northern Soul Uk Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 OK think I found out thanks. The one with the 'Soul' down the side is the West coast Demo. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Right. The top one is the West Coast styrene pressing from Monarch, in L.A. The bottom one looks like a Midwest pressing from RCA (Indianapolis). 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Northern Soul Uk Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Great thanks RobbK, Just bought the top one, according to Manship it's the rarest of the 2. Never seen that label layout before. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
45cellar Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Yes, top one WEST COAST Monarch. I thought possibly "ARP" for the bottom one looking at the label layout. If so it should have the "ARP" Stamp in the deadwax. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Northern Soul Uk Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 I don't have the bottom one 45celler, so I can't say Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The one below I would expect to find the "Nashville Matrix" Stamp. www.popsike.com As Robb points out, there were others involved such as RCA (Indianapolis) , etc. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Very nice on a DEMO, whichever pressing plant. Not many turn up that often, especially in top condition. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
