Yes it was a marketing ploy to change the name to make it more 'Street'. As said before I have seen many LJ demos, but hardly any SK ones. and I don't think I have ever seen a LJ stock copy, but have seen and owned 3 SK stock copies. As posted twice on here, the one I have at the moment, not the Demo I am selling, but the stock copy of SK, has different run out etchings to any others catalogued, and no one on 'SS' knew why this was. That is the reason I am keeping my SK stock copy and selling the demo as I think the unusual stock copy that I have has to be rarer, even though I don't know why it has different markings. Also the 'A' side of the one I have is titled 'Say a prayer for me', not 'Say a prayer' as are the other SK stock copies. Figure that one out :-) I've attached the images if you fancy doing a bit of research

Thanks for that info dthdrug, I didn't know that. Speedlimit, I sold a copy of the album for £20 a few months back. Oh and the Solomon Demo is up to £150 with 4 days to go on eBay by the way.

Just gone on eBay for 7 days Solomon King - This Beautiful Day - UK Columbia Demo https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311536619213?

Strange innit 'Sheep'? how just a change of name can make a difference? It's the same person anyway, and I've seen more Levi Jackson Demos, than Solomon King ones.

When was that Sheep?

Info please if possible.What would a Demo copy of Solomon King - This beautiful day' on UK 'Columbia' records in VG condition be worth in todays market? I haven't seen a 'Solomon King' demo. but have seen a 'Levi Jackson' oneThank you

Ends in a couple of days

Happy New year to everyone and thank you all for your support of the 'Leeds Central' over the last 5 years. Respect is due

Just wondered if anyone ever got one of these mis-presses? I know that Jumbo records in Leeds got some sent in their order when they got the vocal ones, and were offered out to customers, but not knowing how rare it would become, they refused them . Apparently 'Hunter Smith' The then owner sent them all back. When he realised how rare it would be, he rang the company up to see if he could get them back, but was told that they had been melted down. I wonder if any other shops got any, and did anyone buy one?

I may be one of the very few, but I prefer to buy unusual looking records, especially picture sleeved ones. I can't resist buying a record that I may even have on US or UK, if it's on a nice looking label with a p/s, hence the Mitch Ryder and Bobby Freeman ones above. I think that deep down, I like the looks that you get from other collectors at gigs, when you slide on the deck an unusual looking release, I like to see their heads rotating trying to catch up with the label name and title. Maybe that's just me, but it is a guilty pleasure :-)

Not a Picture cover, but still on the subject of Mitch Ryder, got this a few weeks ago too. A French Stateside Demo. Very nice.

Can't help with those, but I have just bought these.

Has anyone mentioned 'Standing on solid ground'?

Sounds like a Bob James composition

The Pat Lewis is a great version, definitely on a par with the Timi Yuro version IMHO

On eBay now. Never went on sale only a giveaway with a CD. None on record as ever being sold previously. An excellent version, some say better than Timi Yuro. Listen on listing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311490839550?

Could anyone put a price on the Joeboy 7"? can't see one thats ever been sold anywhere

On ebay now, 2 Rare foriegn issues.Edwin Starr - Time - Red French Tamla Motown with picture sleevehttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311483381531?Marvin Gaye - I'll be doggone - Orange 'German' CBS.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311484907979?

I thought it was played before the Mecca? I'm sure I danced to it at the Torch? Might be wrong tho'

The one I got from the states has no address on the bottom, and I got it from someone selling a collection of original Rock n Roll, and they had listed the 'B' side of Johnny Sayles. I have heard that just because there is no address on the bottom doesn't mean it's not an original, maybe from another pressing plant.

I have just picked one up from the states on 'Musicor' Demo for £6. Doesn't help your plight, but I'm well chuffed.
