Mick Holdsworth ,I think you are correcto, first time Motown \Universal have issued a Ric-Tic recording since  Al  Kent "You gotta PayThe price" ( Track UK primero) and " OOh Pretty Lady" on Ric Relics stml11232 way back in 1973! Al's "Ooh you are awful" also came out in 73 as promo only 45 ep, along with ; Spinners, Eddie K , and Willie Hutch , PSR 352 on Tamla Motown ,rather hard to find. When the adorable ,fantastic ,Richard ( heard Sealing , Starling, Spurling, But Searing with Passion for Soul music perhaps!)  ,hinted at the release of 7,s Box set Vol 3 ,, he played " Acting Lately"  simultaneously, I spoke to him suspecting a Ric Tic Revolution was coming , so far his busy PA schedule he has not responded to my email !

That's what I thought, I seem to remember that there was some anomaly over Ric Tic copywrite, meaning we had never had a CD or vinyl compilation of Ric Tic since those early days. Look like that has been sorted out now, so maybe a Ric Tic Revolution, as you say, is on the horizon. (If Universal can release one, then the should be able to release any or all - maybe a CD or Vinyl Box set for the future)

Could it be that because the track was not previously issued it is not an issue releasing it now?  I'm thinking of all those Stax collections that get round Atlantic's theft of the original masters/rights by including a previously unreleased take from the Stax vaults - I'm thinking of Otis in particular.  Just a thought.  

I would love a definitive CD release of the Ric Tic stuff.

Maybe next time, I'm not holdingmy breath though.

Whilst appreciating the fact that a few on the tracklisting may be "old hat" so to speak, I personally welcome any new output from such a rich vein of "closeted output", and look forward to many more in due course!

Keep 'em coming I say......
