marvelettes-reachin for something I cant have/here I am baby  british tmg 860 demo

the b side says here I am baby but plays my baby must be a magician

any info please are they all the same  on demo etc

lawrence

All demos are this way - It was released as the correct titles on the labels (Reaching / Here .. ). It's just the demos that have the wrong record in the groove

 

The book "Tamla Motown" gives a slightly different explanation.  TMG 860 was originally scheduled to be "Reachin" For Something I Can't Have" /

"I Need Someone" from TMG #639. The pressing plant used the flip side from #639  "My Baby Must Be A Magician" instead. Supposedly Tamla/

Motown destroyed all copies except for a few. In the end , #860 was released as "Reaching For..."/ "Here I Am Baby".

If that is correct the tmg 860 demo must be hard to come by, and are there 2 tmg 860 demos one with My Baby Must Be A Magician and one with Here I Am Baby .
