The Christine Cooper thread got me thinking, why don't we do one on rarer issue's & demo's. So if it's one you dont see every day of the week, post it up.

Here's one to kick off with....

J.B.Bingham on an issue

Rules of love....

Hi Pottsy

Could be the only one without the changed title now. I know that I saw one years ago but missed it.

Thanks for posting, proves my memory was not playing tricks.

Hi

I haven't seen a White DEMO of The Adorables.

OR a White DEMO of this which has "Demonstration Copy" Sticker on the other side.

hi roger gw 27 as always been one of the harder numbers ive never seen a demo but my copy also as the demonstration copy sticker

this came via soulbowl about 25 years ago

There was a GW 27 on Ebay last night, last time I looked it was only about $15, don't know how it ended

This looks great!

White demo...

White demo...

Wa-hey, one I've had!

I mentioned this a week or so ago but it was concerning the white demo of E Rodney Jones that was up for auction last week, John said he'd never seen one and neither had Carl...well I've had two in the last year, both have been on my list and both have been up on here, and last night I got another one, maybe I'm just lucky, shame nobody realises it is actually pretty rare...and great of course...last nights copy below, tiny scan sorry

White demo...

Here you go Tony

Yes Steve had it for 15 years or more, must be quiet hard but sure theres a few out there

Not sure on these ones so may you lot can enlighten me. was told the candi station was rare but i think the guy was getting confused with the 12 incher

Hi Tony

I've just come in from nights and read your post. I too got my copy from Soul Bowl.

I believe it is Ted, here is the other White DEMO.

Hi Miff

I saw the Candi Statton on ebay last year, that is very rare on DEMO in my opinion.

Only ever see the Stock Copy.

I believe it is Ted, here is the other White DEMO.

Thats nice Roger, someone told me a few years ago that there were at least 8 different label designs of this

I had heard that there were a few different ones.

I don't know if they all have, my copy has "Bell Sound" & "Nashville Matrix" STAMPED on both sides.

Hi Ted

Your Stock Copy is the only one I've ever seen.

How about this?

Hi Ted

Your Stock Copy is the only one I've ever seen.

There was a mint stock on ebay last year

I had heard that there were a few different ones.

Roger, that demo you've posted is vinyl, unlike other demos. Teds issue is styrene. Useless info I know, but thought i'd post it

Hi Pottsy

Thanks for that, always good to know.

Someone mentioned the Red 'Art Freeman', 'Cooperettes' for Rod....yes it looks better than the stock/issue, 'Think Smart' Old Town stock/issue is nice and i think harder than the demo and last but not least stocker of 'The Dynamics' on Top Ten now tell me thats not hard to find....lol

Fun this thread.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

That Dynamics is incredible Mark, though the Art Freeman I was referring to was the little-seen red DEMO!

I think mine could be one of the same on the 'Art Freeman' Pete, as on the flip it say's 'Plug Side' but no other indication that it's a demo...any ideas mate?

This is a relative newie and is usually found on the Challenge label - has anyone seen this local label version before cos I haven't

Demo of Sunliner's anyone?

Is that yours Ted ?

Chris Ashby has one.

SOLD TO MR BICKNELL!!

And bloody happy i was too mate....tune!!!!!!

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Two nice ABC Demo's, hard call on if stockers are harder to locate, seems even in terms of value? Demo's look yummy though...lol

Mark if you had a stock copy of Earl Jackson you could triple the price of the demo...I don't think there is a stock copy! Same with Yum Yums, August & Deneen

I reckon you could be right there Pete, but having said that i bet Mr Massy has a stocker tucked away, but thinking about it i can't say i've ever seen one but i'm sure it must have been issued??? defo seen Jackie Lee going for a bit of dosh recently on an issue and i guess i should have been a little more specific sorry, these type of threads are far more interesting than the negative stuff, we all seem to share and learn with postings like this, brilliant, let's have more of the same.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thought so, i hate doubting myself...lol

Well now I really am lost for words - first time I've ever seen this or even heard of it, I stand corrected

Pete, like i said somewhere in my tiny brain memory banks i thought it was issued, we must have seen it way back and not really taken any notice as when i got my demo about 25 years ago i had no reason to seek an issue, quality tune on either copy.

Hi Sebastian,

Is this the one that sold on ebay a few years ago? Gary Fields from Leeds got it, or is this another one?

What about the Yum Yums that was sold on ebay without a picture, shows up & it was an issue. That was a bonus.

Hi Sebastian,

Yes, the one above sold on eBay back in august 2004 for $710.
