R.I.P. Ted Other than our chats on here I actually met him at a venue a few years ago. A lovely bloke to talk to and such a loss to our scene. Awful news to hear of his passing. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.

R.I.P. Snowy.

Speedy recovery Mark.

I have the White DEMO, Yellow Stock Copy and the Official Re-issue. The White DEMO and Yellow Stock Copy were from Soul Bowl. Most records that I bought were in Excellent to Mint condition but the Yellow Stock Copy although it plays OK is of a lesser grade. It looks to have been well played and not from a Warehouse find or Radio Station source. (The name of the previous owner written on the label) I suspect that it may well have been more difficult to find the Yellow Stock Copy in any quantity and in pristine condition. It made me think that the Yellow Stock Copy was perhaps the rare one. Now we have the internet, that position may have changed from copies now available and purchased at the time it was released.

Sisters Love - I'm Learning To Trust My Man

Big Boris - Devils Drive

I mentioned this one in 2008. The Chants - Baby I Don't Need Your Love.

Joe Tex West Coast looks OK to me. Here's another.

There are so many to choose from. Sandi Sheldon of course, should be there. I have always thought Heatwave Martha & The Vandellas and Sheila Anthony Living In Love have excellent intros. Heatwave also quite a long Intro but in no way too long and is a perfect lead in to the Vocal.

I hope so too. It would have been nice to see the full version. Surely they could have allocated extra time for this event. I enjoyed the program. The singers and orchestra covered the songs well. If they do revisit in future and with such an orchestra at their disposal the Instrumentals should definitely feature.

As a comparison at Columbia. The 50 single sided DEMO Scott's On Swingers were ZTSC matrix stamped. In small number for the competition prize. The double sided Scott's On Swingers Demos have a scratched matrix. A larger pressed quantity guessing at a different time or pressing plant.

I still think Test Press. Just wondering about a Canadian press as they are Vinyl and Stamped. Usually Canadian Epic for Okeh releases. Either way a Test Press as vinyl also used at times in U.S.A. at Columbia.

Were these the only two tracks available for The Seven Souls or could it be a last minute change. If so it could be the reason for the single sided press. The numbers do follow each other though. 117415 117416 Quality Control possibly is the reason after all.

The Seven Souls Okeh 4-7289 117415 117416 Two numbers on we have The Triumphs I'm Coming To Your Rescue. Okeh 4-7291 117423 117424 With 2 Different DEMO A sides for promotion. Perhaps 2 different pressing plants involved at the time was the reason. As already mentioned above.

JZSP Normally in the DEMO deadwax and printed on the Demo label. I have found instances where certain Stock Copies have this too. I have copies of Soul A Go Go on a Stock Copy with this. ZSP on the Label This one has JZSP Stamped in the deadwax BOTH sides. ------------------------------------------------------------- JZSP on the Label This one has ZSP Stamped in the deadwax BOTH sides.
