I am guessing this is British.Can't find anything on it but then I'm no Tamla expert.Anyone know anything about it?

Jimmy Ruffin acetate northern soul:

Why would a "Tamla expert" be of any use?  From listening, we can certainly tell that isn't a Motown recording.

What sort of music is that ?

I guess it's the same acetate that RNS had up for sale recently, described as '2 Previously Unknown & Undiscovered Motown Recordings - Original 60s Metal Acetate Both Tracks Stunning Tempatations/Jimmy Ruffin Sounds' 

 

'Very Very Funny / How Deep Does Your Love Go'

The second song does have a sound of Jimmy Ruffin's voice, but I wouldn't say it's him...

It has the same label as my other Shapiro and Bernstein acetate which is Ben E Kings I Can't Break The News which is Ben E King...I found this in the UK and I'm sure it was used to try and get UK artists to cover the song.The Dakotas covered I Can't Break The News.The writing on the front is in the same style as the Ben E King acetate but larger.

The Ben E King CBTN track was done very well by the Leg End that is Tom Jones off the Lp, which I spin on rare occasions when i am behind the decks out. TOON

Neither the Temptations or Jimmy Ruffin to these ears.

Suspect someone may have added the blue pen copy later to an uncredited demo.
