August 1, 201311 yr Wasn't this made at Motown for all the 'thousands' of Motown fans in the UK, and on the strength of the large number of UK fans, the Tamla Motown Review tour was give the go ahead and financed by Berry Gordy?

He did give me some great soul magazines when the second shop was about to close in 1970.... and lots of advice!.
August 2, 201311 yr This 45 was also re-pressed a couple of years ago on red vinyl as a giveaway with the superb, 'Hype & Soul' book by Al Abrams...a superb book it is as well!
August 2, 201311 yr Wasn't this featured in an old thread with speculation about how many were actually pressed. Mentioned in Clive Richardson's book also - believed to be 300.
August 5, 201311 yr Sure Dave said 180 (weird number I know) - anyway he gave us one when he came to stay once. Dx
