So, it's authentic then. Brilliant, good to know. Hooray to Mike Valvano. Thanks again everybody, including Mace, RobbK, Andy Rix, and snakepit.

Thanks for this information Robb, much appreciated. This is my copy that Mace speaks of and it's an acetate. Based on your opinion, I'm going to consider this an authentic Demo. Evidence suggests that this is a '62 recording, so the 1965 date stamp might just be as you say, a Demo pressed up for another artist to consider recording back in '65.

Yes, I can well imagine all that. But, there had to be some reason why the X makes appearances, or not, as the case may be? I guess we'll never know. Thanks for your insight nonetheless

Hi RobbK, Thanks for responding. I have both the issue and the Demo of the same record here and it's only the issue that has the X preceding the release number, eg X5955 The X is on both sides of the issue. That said, I do have issues and Demos of other 5400-5900 series releases where some of the Demos, but not all, have the X and some of the issues also have the X. By the way, all the Demos and issues that have the X, the X appears on both sides. So, it would appear to be quite random, which doesn't help us get to the bottom of the problem. Dennis. PS - I also have one Imperial release from the 5300 series with an X preceding the release number.

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know why some US Imperial 45rpm releases have an 'X' in front of the release number, eg X5945

Please PM me with condition and asking price

Me too

Further to all of the above, can somebody give me an explanation as to the stamping in the run out grooves involving 'G' on its own, or 'R' and 'G' side by side? In regard to all UK TMG releases, well certainly the first one hundred.

I have the following record for auction: Harold Burrage - I Was Wrong / You Ought To Love Me - Foxy 009 Condition wise, I'd call it Vg- To help you understand how I've arrived at that description, I would say that it depends on what you want it for. If it's for personal use at home only, then I'd say it would sound quite crackly at the start but sounds fine after that. If it's for DJing with, then I'd say it would be okay and exactly what others interested in it might be thinking. If it's wanted as a collectors piece until one day you find a better condition copy, then that's up to you but that's exactly what I did and still do with others off my wants lists. See attached photographs: I have had offers made on this 45 already over the last few days but would like to offer it to a wider audience until 6pm Sunday 27th November. Please PM me with your offers, in order to keep things confidential, in Pounds Sterling only please.

If so, where?

Sorry I missed the ending of that particular auction :-(

Can somebody please tell me how much the Olympics Lp on UK Fontana went for?

I've accidentally submitted this post twice. Moderator, would you please delete this one. Thanks.

Please Message me with condition and price if you're able to help. No messages asking me what I'll pay, just tell me what price you want for it and if I think that's fair, depending on condition, then we've got a deal. Cheers.

Did you get his number Ste? Were you able to pass it on to Dave?

Did you have any luck with your plea? Only, I'm after a copy now.

Did we get a value on it? The green Demo that is? How much for the white Demo on vinyl?

Insane, I know, £20

Did anybody happen to copy the original You Tube posting above, before it was muted??? If so, please let me know, we'd love to have a copy so that we can reintroduce it in some way back onto The Sink Soul Club group page.

Somebody at Phonogram couldn't spell, I mean DETRIOT Emeralds, come on, where's Quality Control when you need it. By the way, I've got about 5 or 6 of these DJ Promo Maxi things, were they actually released or only intended for Radio Stations and the like, to help promote up and coming Lp releases? Hmmm? I like both, as well as Don Covay's funky version of Money on the flip.

I was asked "who is the vocalist on this recording"? I haven't been able to find out. Does anybody here know the answer to the question?

Looking for a copy of Liz Lands - Midnight Johnny - Gordy for a mate of mine. Issue or Demo, don't matter. Please PM me with details if able to help. Thanks in advance. (y)

Unashamed BUMP!!! ;-)

Sorry, couldn't resist.
