Does the LaBrenda Ben on Motown really exist ? That scan is the only one found on the net and it looks rather suspicious IMHO. The Gordy edition is established to be around September or October 1962. Still the scan is odd to me.

The Motown in regard of the catalogue attributed number Motown 1033 (even if cancelled if ever) in regard of the previous catalogue number Motown 1032 dating from July and following Motown 1034 dating from November 1962.

Yet LaBrenda Ben Motown 1033 is supposedly from December 1962. Even if those dates (45Cat.com source) don't correlate so well, they all tend to post date the Gordy release which makes no sense. Then the label typo and colors don't fit.

The Motown 'camel walk' dating from December 1962 credit LaBrenda Ben & the Vandellas. But Martha & the Vandellas first 45 only came out on Gordy 7011, some two release numbers after LaBrenda Ben 7009 and supposedly dates from September 1962.

I have a white label promo of LaBrenda Ben on Motown 1033. It’s real. Looking for an upgrade or a stock copy.

The scan you have doesn’t look quite right, but there’s one in the Simon Soussan price guide that does.

Flip side attributed to LaBrenda Ben & the Vandellas as well ?

Yes. Here’s a link to the Discogs listing I created for it (both label scans and matrix info are on there): https://www.discogs.com/LaBrenda-Ben-The-Vandellas-The-Chaperone-Camel-Walk/release/14258187
