Anyone tell me what variation this is? Looks a lighter green than usual.

Hi Pete, I have no idea about all he different variations but that looks like an issue version of my demo.

 

p.s. - Any idea why the vocal is credited with just Wylie as the composer and the instrumental has 3 (different) composers as per the picture?

Yeah it's definitely an issue of that version Kev

It`s the rarer west coast vinyl issue Pete, just like the one I bought from your good self a few years ago.

Naturally with the amount that goes through your hands. 

Is this a for sale item?

Has the label been coloured with green felt tip pen?

Looks like slight water damage - maybe someone tried to do something silly like bleach the felt tip off.

That's what I thought?

Interestingly one of the publishers is Brianbert, Robert Bateman's publisher when he worked at Motown in the early 60's

Yeah I spent a day colouring it in with a green felt pen

Paler colour of green and different typeset than the East coast Shelley (Raised X ) press and is done on lovely crisp sounding vinyl.

No, not Bateman's publisher when he worked for Motown, but, Bateman's personal publishing company for his whole career AFTER leaving Motown.  "Brianbert" was the production team name for Brian Holland and Robert Bateman (also their team name even after Freddie Gorman was added).  In early 1962, businessman and Numbers Runner, Wilbur Golden, planned to start up a record company and recording studio.  He recruited several Motown production people, including Brian and Eddie Holland.  They told Robert Bateman to quit Motown, and come along with them to Golden's new Correc-Tone Records.  Bateman quit Motown, and signed with Golden.  But then, he found out that The Holland Brothers had been enticed by Berry to stay with Motown, by buying each a new Cadillac, and giving them a high raise in salary.  Bateman, not knowing that Brian wasn't coming, had already set up Brianbert Music for them, as a pair.  He just ended up changing the ownership only to himself, deciding that it would be a bit of an insult to Brian, for having "stabbed him in the back".  The bad feeling lasted only a short time.  But Bateman keptr that publisher for the rest of his life.  Popcorn Wylie also came to Correc-Tone.  The Supremes moonlighted there, singing backgrounds. William Weatherspoon was a writer there, as was Janie Bradford (under the pen name of "Nikki Todd".  There have been rumours that James Velvet was Bateman's ex-fellow Satintone (lead singer), James Ellis.
