Now we're talking-I was hoping more people would start posting-people with more knowledge on the subject that myself. So in an A/B comparison of the same title,do Promotional/Demonstration Lp's sound better than what went out to the consumer?
Wow,You have a very cool collection of "The Cars" promo's. I was 14 when this Lp came out-growing up south of Boston-we were all big fans of this album.The Cars debut
Ok, I have one I aquired recently. An original Ray Charles acetate from the I'm All Yours Baby album. Track order is different from the final release, but songs are the same.

I know you started the thread for White Label Promo's but this post made me think about the dozen or so Promo Lp's I have on colored vinyl with regular production labels. Fantasy Records pressed some Promotional Lp's on colored vinyl,as did Pacific Jazz. Was this a regular practice-or a gimmick?Door To Door - The Cars
