Hi John I can't help with your wants Unfortunately, However, Great to hear from you, pleased that you are enjoying Australia. Roger Blythe

Sorry About Unexpected Delay, I'm back. Here is my copy Original

Somethings going on >>> BIG MAYBELLE 96 TEARS <<< 7 Available - Really, only 7 (It's a one off Mate, How many do you want) (Took me ages to find a Real DEMO, Had it a couple of years now) I will post Details Tomorrow of Deadwax etc, Don't want anyone to part with their hard earned cash on a New One, thinking it's Original. At least they Specify NEW & REPRO in the listing, However ....... If anyone fully understands what they are actually purchasing, up to them I suppose. Royalties ?

Sad news indeed R.I.P. Robert Lester

Like this one.

I owned one of these, could still be at my Parents House. Linear Tracking Needle - Played Large or Small Center 7"" Records Automatically. Cassette Player, long time ago when I last saw it. Incredibly Rare Item. >>> LINK_Bush Discassette <<<

Here's the Green & White DEMO A long time ago now but I paid £5 for my copy, not at Wigan though.

Now that is Very Nice, Many Thanks for Posting It.

Yes Mick, I keep trying with these competitions, nothing It has been mentioned before, someone definitely into Soul Music using these tracks as backing.

Yes please, never seen that Variation before mate.

Certainly is.

Instrumental Backing for their competition. Monday = Just Brothers - Sliced Tomatoes Tuesday = Trammps - Scrub Board

Many Thanks for the U.K. DEMO Scans, Obviously in the U.K. they re-promoted using a DEMO, even though it is so well known, second time around. But in the U.S.A. they appear to have continued to issue possibly without producing a DEMO. Amazes me especially with the first copies as it was to supposed be a turning point for Chess (Motown Style Recording) Not seen a DEMO, Yet, for the Blue & White Checker Variation either. I wonder if it simply stayed on catalogue throughout all the different variations. However, that wouldn't explain the lack of DEMOs when first released. Definitely unusual.

What happened regarding the DEMOs Just don't see many about. Anyone seen a DEMO for these two?. ------------------------------------------------ Different Designs throughout the Labels History, "Rescue Me" being the Hit appears on almost All. The "Checker Board" Variation, DEMO's Extremely Difficult & the Red Label "Checker Board" not easy to find. Followed by the Blue & White Checker. Haven't Scans at the moment for this Design.

I bought a Sharp Stereo System for home use, Radio, 8 Track Player & Recorder. Sold it in the early 80's. However, I still have a Hi-Fi seperate Sharp 8 Track Player & Recorder that I bought around the same time. Not many bought Player/Recorders I would Imagine most bought players for the car. Almost Identical to this one. I thought that it was the future at the time so bought recording capability, It still worked the last time I tried it but not easy as it is a continous loop joined by a silver joint tape. This causes the head to move to next track so you have to time each of the sections almost perfectly. I have a few Soul releases, Motown Chartbusters was released and the 8 Track for this I bought the Vinyl Album at the same time. I will have to have a look in the loft. I think I remember a Pye Disco Demand (2nd Album) Casualeers, Wally Cox etc. 8 Track Album too but will have to check. It's a few years since I've been in that box.

Hi Gary I have a copy, P.M.'d You

Almost certain I have a spare of this for sale, will have a look in the morning. Incredibles - All Of A Sudden - Audio Arts 60017

I know this may already have been covered in another post, but not sure why some have BM before the Number. My copy obviously doesn't.

Yes Mate, I've Seen It. In Over 40 Years I've Only Ever Held 1 Polydor White DEMO. That Was Approx 1970 When I Found & Left A Title (Non-Soul) In A Second Hand Shop. Only Just Started Collecting & Remember Thinking Afterwards Should Have Bought That, Stunning Label. A Point In Time That Makes Me Realise Just How Special These DEMO Are. Would Love To Own A Copy, Yes Indeed.

Many Thanks, I Love This Label & Sleeve. All The Versions Would Be Welcome In Most Collections. I Have To Give The Label Designer A Mention For That Swirl, On The Label. (Although Only Suggested On My Copy By Nature Of Where The Writing Is Placed) Plus The Colour Choice For The Stock Copy, Beautiful. The Whole Thing When Placed In The Sleeve, Just Awesome. Not All Designers Took The Same Amount Of Trouble With Their Creation. The Sleeve, Again Eye Catching Making It A Thing Of Beauty. When You Look At The Plain Block Design DEMO, It Is Set Out With Thought Regarding The Impact Of The Credits. Almost Like The Credits From A Film (Star Wars) IMPACT Visually. Someone Knew Their Trade Extremely Well In My Opinion.

Very Sad News R.I.P. Teddy Pendergrass

One of the first names I thought of too, only just seen this >>> THIS IS RETFORD - Soul Explosion - Majestic <<< Still Performing.

Definitely, we saw her at Sheffield Last Year, Absolutely Brilliant.

Very Sad news indeed. R.I.P. Sandra Wright.
