Was wondering are there any issue copies of either release of "of hopes dreams and tombstones"?

It came out twice on white demos, one "Youth opportunity program" and one by "Jimmy Fraser". The first one I understand was never meant to be commercially available but what about the Jimmy Fraser release? Has anyone ever seen a (presumably red?) issue of it?

Not sure about the other release, possibly DEMO only looking at the Credits.

Although the same number.

Am I correct in thinking that It was distributed first as the Freebie below & then the Columbia release.

Roger,

thanks for the research , must be shit-rare on issue?

In an old issue of Shades of Soul was a picture of the letter that originally came with the YOP demos. Wasn't it from the then vice-president of USA?

I have a red issue of Jimmy Fraser. I was not aware it was that rare. I was told it was rarer than the demo though when I bought it, but thought the price was resonable.
