Just bought this Betty Everett SAMPLE RECORD, noticed that when SAMPLE RECORD Stickers were placed on the label considerable care appears to have been taken as to positioning of Sticker. I'm assuming that they were applied by hand, covering the Label name in this case but leaving ALL other relevant Information on View. Got me wondering how many would have been in a batch for each release. I'm guessing that it was more cost effective compared to printing a Custom DEMO Label. Therefore (If that was the case), possibly smaller quantities. Here's 3 Sandy Wynn's from PopSike.com "3" ! on Popsike, makes it appear easy doesn't it, but it most certainly isn't.

That is Interesting Sebastian, never noticed that before. Wonder if it ever reached the shops. Guessing the Stock Copies were never distributed for sale.

>>> LINK <<< I have been watching this one on ebay for a few weeks (Buy It Now), toying with Idea of finding the funds somehow, (Import Duty on top, etc) adding to cost so changed mind, notice it has been SOLD. Only the second Stock Copy that I have ever seen. Oh for a Lottery Win. Must be a Rare one, most copies are DEMOs in my experience.

Hi John As far as I'm aware we didn't Identify the 3rd Version. It would be good to find the difference in the Deadwax.

Thanks John. Monarch are so accurate with their delta numbers, it must be a significant event to get the X on the wrong side. At the time it was probably too late in the process to change things.

Here is the Information that I posted in >>> <<< This could be explained elsewhere but If it is, I haven't seen it. I've often wondered why one of the DEMOs has the Labels Reversed so I thought I would check things. Just a Theory. I'm not sure if they changed their mind regarding the "PLUG SIDE" causing confusion with the Matrix or just Human Error & we may never know. Clearly something Unusual Happened. I think that when the Bestway Press was made, they probably wouldn't have played it & simply followed the Information Given. Bestway Press - Labels on Wrong Sides. I have been Looking at this and believe that the reason the Labels are on the wrong side is because someone mixed the Matrix Numbers up between the Printers & Pressing Plant. Clearly printed on the Labels (8008) & (8009) Corresponds with the Information on the Deadwax (8008) & (8009). However when played the wrong song is in the grooves. Monarch Press - Labels on the correct sides for each title, but to achieve this the Matrix (8009) on the Label & (8008) in the Deadwax. Of course the other side has Matrix (8008) on the Label & (8009) in the Deadwax. Another pointer to this theory is the Monarch Matrix Delta # 65704 For "TOO DARN SOULFUL" # 65704-X For "YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE" Which is the "PLUG SIDE" Yet the "-X" Denotes the "B Side" on a Monarch Press.

It sometimes happens with certain titles, Right Place, Right Time to find a copy. Then you hear that someone else has seen multiple copies over the years. In my experience both DEMO & Stock Copy have remained elusive apart from the copy I bought.

Thats the first Stock Copy (albeit D-J Stamped) that I have seen Ken. My copy has had the DJ markings removed with an eraser Neither DEMO or Stock Copy (Original) are easy.
