   Fleur de Lys - Circles (demo copy)   
   02 Aug 05 09:20:22   
   
   From: @   
      
   I recently bought a copy of the Fleur de Lys 7" Circles. Because of the   
   rarity of the record, the fact that the label says it's a demo copy, and   
   the low price I payed, I'm assuming that it's a repress or fake. Can   
   anyone confirm my suspicion?   
      
   Anyway, here's the details:   
      
   Immediate label. It's white (not sure what colour they used for demo   
   copies), with a large US style spindle hole (first hint that it's not   
   genuine) and the words "DEMONSTR...OT FOR SALE". Some of the text is   
   missing as it would have been where the large spindle hole is. This is   
   not a UK hole with the centre removed.   
      
   The matrix number on the runout is "IMMEDIATE 032 B" handwritten (second   
   hint) on the A side (third hint), and "IMMIDIATE 032" on the B side. So   
   as well as the matrix being handwritten, the A matrix is on the B side!   
      
   As I said, I bought this very cheaply, and would be happy even if it is   
   a repress, but obviously would be over the moon if it was genuine.   
      
   Anyone shed any light?
