The issue looks like styrene then the demo is a Chess distibution and the other Red Lite.

The White DEMO was Nationally Distributed by Chess

Originally only as a White DEMO and Vinyl.

Distribution moved to Red-Lite when the record was Released due to demand.

and is Styrene

I'm not quite sure which releases were affected.

I have RC-807 on the Pink Double Sided DEMO,

Not 100% but also seem to remember seeing a white one?

Yep 45cellar there is a white demo of "Something Fishy.............'' I"ve got one.

Worth getting the stock copy too for the nice ballad flipside

Cheers Paul

I've just done the same with The Exceptionals, I'm sure it was with the others the last time I looked

However, It isn't, I must have put it in the wrong place without realising. Supposed to have them in order.

One day, perhaps

Red Coach records distributed by Chess from RC 800 - 802, RC 803/4 dont have any distribution info on labels, from then up to RC 814 distribution is by Red-Light, has anyone got an issue copy of RC810 Richmond International only ever found this on a Demo

cheers rob h.

Forgot to add, I have an issue and demo of the exceptionals, other side on the issue is a lovely ballad in a Delfonics kind of style called What is Living written by Barbara Mason.

Wow thanks rob

I didn't know about RC 803/4

That's the beauty of this Forum, Sharing Information, always something new to learn.

I only have about four Titles on Red Coach, Thanks also for confirming the Chess Distribution for RC-800

I haven't a copy of RC-810, DEMO or Stock Copy

Thanks Paul

Eureka !!!!

Sorry to take so long was beginning to think I'd sold it in a moment of madness but found it now.

Yes it is RC 807 and dist' by Red Lite and yep its styrene stereo/mono versions

I also have "Reach Out For Me" on a white demo RC-811 (1975) no mention of Red Lite dist' on that one

Cheers Paul

I've also got a copy of Universal Mind 'Reach Out For Me' RC-811 which is a white Stereo/ Mono demo again with no distribution details.

I've only just dug it out but I must have liked it otherwise I wouldn't have kept it - will give it an airing this week along with the other two main ones 'Something Fishy' and the Carstairs.!

Thanks for taking the time to have a look.

Just wondering now if the Distribution details are only missing from the White DEMO's, RC-803 & beyond.

I must find my copy of the Exceptionals.

Other than that after the Chess Distribution, are we looking at another Distribution, before or after Red-Lite.

Could also be an ommission at the printers for the White DEMO/Different Pressing Plant.

are there 2 WD boots? Iv'e seen ones without the distributor credits, but are there boot with the credits as well? Seen W/D with Chess records Chicago instead of NY as in the scan above

I remember seeing a Red-Coach White DEMO in the 70's for "It Really Hurts Me Girl".

I didn't have chance to check for the Matrix Stamp in the Deadwax.

There was however a pronounced raised ring around the center underneath the label.

I have a Verve boot like this, and was told that this was a Boot also.

The Boots have a Scratched Sterling Matrix apparently.

Don't know if these also have the raised ring or whether there are two Boots.

My demo of Reach out also has no distribution details, although all other demos i have, have got the details, strange one, but it was probably just an oversight at the pressing plant.

My copy of the Carstairs (issue not WD) has PR scratched on the run out and the number RC 2857-1-1-1. The 'Something Fishy Going On' coloured demo has the same except the number is RC807A-S-1 (and M on the mono side). The 'Reach Out For Me' has the same with PrR scratched on the Stereo side and JR on the Mono side. Can't quite see why the latter one would have been pressed as it wasn't an in-demander.

Checked mine, Exactly the same for those mentioned.

As for "Reach Out For Me", I have the Stock Copy but Not the DEMO, Nice one Mate.

Hi guys, thank's for the info just checked mine too Carstairs/Universal mind

For information, there is a sterling stamp on RC 801 / 802 but NOT on RC 800 although this was distributed by Chess, odd.

I was wondering about the Chess Distribution as regards to the "Sterling" Matrix on the earlier Nunmers.

Obviously ony used for RC-801 & RC-802. As you say it's quite odd that RC-800 hasn't.
