This record featured the other day on a BBC documentary about 60s music.

They interviewed a guy from Liverpool and he said he had bought it from a sailor who worked on the Transatlantic liners.

I would guess his memory was playing tricks or sailor was operating a scam. This is a British release surely.

IMHO 95% of early soul/R&B in this country was played off British releases.

Hope I haven't got egg on my face here  . . . . . . . . . . .

Don't think you have, all the histories I've seen especially when they mention Roger Eagles or the Wheel all make a point of mentioning the fact that the early British releases led people to 'Investigate' () the wealth of American releases that never saw light of day here. Don't go anywhere any more but the awakened interest in the more R&B tracks would seem to hanker to those very beginnings.

HI ALL  As e know, all the early UK released Tamla-Motown 45s are collectable these days,  but there are some that were minor hits & the Contours are along with "Finger tips" Stevie Wonder the easy ones I would price them at £20, however if they have a silver A on them £60 - £80 if that helps. KTF
