Saw a UK red Atlantic copy last night - it had a small capital 'A' between 4 and 5 o'clock. The seller said it was a demo.

Can anyone confirm this ( as I've never seen one before).

Yes, I believe it is, I don't own the record, unfortunately.

Here is a scan from Popsike.

I used to own a BOB CREWE TEST PRESSING of this never seen another one of those

Like Roger said - definitely a demo. There are very few of these, maybe 15 to 20 red Atlantics which are proper demos like this. All are rare.

Thanks for the info - it's just that the 'A' looked like letraset

Yes defo a demo, sold mine to Butch who passed it on to someone else, £60

didnt know it was that rare Pete

Sold mine to Mr Searling who I believe still has it. Bought it off Mark Wills in 1988. Funny how you can remember these things and know exactly where a copy of a record has been for 20 years

I've got this with date stamp 3 June 1966. No idea who added stamp - Atlantic or radio station. Yes it's obviously rare but had one years ago too and that was a demo as well. Probably makes little difference to price for UK copy

Quite a few red Atlantic demos on the bay at the moment.
