Here's a couple of those already mentioned.

This is my copy. That Coloured West Coast Monarch DEMO looks very nice.

Nothing wrong with the matrix as I can see. Your DEMO has Identical matrix to my Stock Copy with same label variation. Quite a Rare find in 2016

Derek Try this link above. Most pages still working for me at the moment.

I would be happy with it in my collection. The scan leaps out to me as a West Coast press. As stated already there should be the Delta number in the deadwax.

Nowhere near as expensive, though still difficult to find. Here is a Mary Wells release TD-85 ARGENTINA :

I don't mind a little DJ Grafitti if it appears to be from the period of release. Somebody's name would somehow be worse. It is a personal thing and so nice to get clean labels but it isn't too bad as marks go.

This one from Soul Bowl in the 70s

Loverly West Coast Stock Copy there mate. Since my original post I have managed to track down an East Coast Stock Copy - Neither are easy on Stock Copy.

Think it sounds OK. Especially as you say that it has the matrix. Difficult without a scan and I can't off the top of my head remember if this has ever been booted. What kind of "Bestway" or "B" press is it. Paper label or printed to direct to the styrene. (i.e. Dark Blue colour).

I have done my best to get a decent image of that stamp which appears on both the East and West Coast deadwax. It is situated to the left of the scratched number pictured above. It looks to me to be a faint image of an "Audio Matrix" stamp.

I have scanned both scratched matrix numbers on my copies to compare. Exactly the same place in the Deadwax and looks to be by the same hand. EAST COAST : WEST COAST : MONARCH Plus Delta # 59686-X on the Monarch etc as Robb has already said

I have seen a few Chubby Checker titles and bought this one. The others were the usual "Dance Craze" titles. It would be nice to think that there may be other northern Cameo or Parkway stuff by him or other artists.

I always thought that The High Keys was released at the changover period from Black Label to Blue Label and respective Demo's. Yellow and Light Blue. There are different pressing plants involved.

I have this one, not seen many red ones Ian

I have just picked this one up from CANADA. It has the same style of sticker with slightly different proportions. It is a U.S.A press, just wondering if some Brunswick were Promoted that way in certain areas when DEMO copies were not to hand.

No info to hand about any BOOT or markings. Regarding ORIGINALS I have a STYRENE DEMO & VINYL Stock Copy Next to the mark " " there is a faint "MUSIC CITY" stamp in the deadwax on both sides of my copies. STYRENE VINYL

I have reposted my Original scans Plus the Re-Issue below

The Chambers Brothers also did a version. I had just edited my original post. As I haven't seen The Wire I am just guessing.

Possibly The Fiestas on Old Town or VIGOR The VIGOR version has Johnny Otis credits and is more uptempo than the Old Town version. Could also be The Chambers Brothers version.

Thanks Peter. Not sure how soon after the Initial release the "Special Rush Reservice" was done or why. Have seen others throughout the catalogue where this happens rather than reprint / press the same DEMO format. SINGAPORE :

COLUMBIA in the U.S.A.

As mentioned above Originals have Delta # 56960 in the Deadwax This one is an ORIGINAL Black Lined Variation with Detla # 56960 & 56960 X STYRENE MONARCH With a Matt Black Label. This one is the 70s Press Black Lined Variation with Delta # 99069-X & 99069 STYRENE MONARCH With a Black Label. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apart from the obvious difference via the Delta # The -X Denotes the "B Side" on a Monarch Press. (Notice on this Black Lined 70s press Delta # 99069 the Deadwax suggests "Tainted Love" is the "A Side") It has Delta # 99069-X for "My Bad Boy's Comin'Home" which would be wrong.

The different variations are there throughout the Mirwood Catalogue. It can sometimes help looking for similarities of layout when assessing the rarer stuff by scan only. Different pressing plants and printers very often followed their own style beyond the labels logo.

As I mentioned earlier, most releases have at least two DEMO variations and Stock Copy. Here is the other variation to the one currently on ebay.
