Some for the Deck cams if i ever get to DJ at an event that uses them LOL..Mostly common records on their regular labels here are a few rarer and unusual label variations ive picked up over the years.Listed and pics below.Prob lots more around but personally ive never seen any other copies...Not saying they are worth heaps but a few have been talking points for me and record talk is always good 🤣🤣

Johnny Wyatt....Dutch Fontana
Charlie Gracie...UK Demo
Gene Chandler...French Coral
Gene Chandler...Stars design
Arnold Bryant....Demo
Brooks and jerry ...Demo
Paul Anka....Canadian Red RCA
Butch Baker....Withdrawn Demo
Joe Tex.....West coast  Demo
Ronnie and Robyn vocal...Sidra Red
Pearlean Gray...West Coast Demo
Dalton Boys....Multi coloured Demo

Interesting pictures and label variations.  The Joe Tex "You Better Believe It Baby"  looks good, is it the west coast demo?  I remember when this was a big record in Wigan Casino, played 2 or 3 times in the night, for several weeks! 

Nice original of Arnold Bryant with the two rings around Mercury.

First heard Brooks & Jerry in Wigan when Dave Evison played it. He said  "If you used to go to the Wheel you'll know this one, if you didn't, don't worry about the beginning"!

Nice labels ,never seen a Ronnie and Robyn on red Sidra before .I found a Canadian Paul Anka in Vancouver 1980 .Had Arnold Blair WD ,probably should have kept it .Joe Tex looks great on that West Coast label .

Thanks for the reply. It does seem to be very scarce. If you decide to release Tony back into the wild, let me know!!

I had this copy of Choice Of Colour ‘Your Love’ on Philippino Probe - how did that happen!!!

This Joe Tex west coast demo looks right in every way!

Monarch press with the right numbers and styrene profile etc.  Also if it isn't an original, why is it very scarce!

Look's like the west coast issue. Doesn't turn up very often.    

Monarch pressing plant?

Heres one i suspect not many of you have..Not a rare issue but more of an anomaly lol

Odd one here from my collection.Larry Hale Once.Deffo original VINYL Copy with all the right Run out marks.But no title or credits on the Once side.Anyone seen another like it Got to be the rarest copy out there lol😆😆😆..Great oldie from the early Casino era

Run out details are

D 203 A (Note: no dash between the 203 and the A) scratched in the deadwax.

The fakes are a lighter blue/green colour and even though they have the drill hole, the deadwax details are D 203 - A (Note the - [dash] between the 203 and the A

Was this a common flaw from the Diamond pressing runs ? .My Kurt Harris 'Emperor's' from the same pressing plant (3 involved for the Kurt Harris and 2 at least for this Larry Hale) has the same missing print flaw on it's 'Go On' side...

Here are a few Aussie ones, I love W&G records, as they put up some really good stuff down under, Cold Blood looks the business on Green Atlantic as well...
