Why do some, like Spyder Turner, have the cartoon lion holding a record but others, like the Embers, don't?

Basically, it's all down to "era"!

The cartoon lion holding the record appeared on US MGM Demos between 1958 to 1968. "Watch Out Girl" by the Embers was a 1970 release, by which time MGM had done away with their "mane" character (excuse the pun!).

The lion appeared on certain UK MGM Demos between 1967 and 1969.

Thanks for that. I'm now furrowing my brow trying to remember which MGM demos have the lion and which don't but I'm sure you're right.

Cheers.
