Pete S Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 There was an absolute beauty on Ebay last week, I think it was from Dominican Republic or somewhere similar, sung in Spanish by a girl - really raw midtempo tune, I nearly bought it but because it wasn't sung in English, I didn't bother, quite regret it now.

Guest vinylvixen Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 12600 refosoul Wow - Adriano is the King of Cool... There is a list as long as your arm of Motown artists who released French, German, Spanish and Italian versions of their tracks....and most of them were released in picture sleeves. I'm sure someone on here posted quite a few scans of the P/Cs. Perhaps Roccia can help us out here Jo Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Russ Vickers Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 A: Side B: Side Dave f...................... Love this record Dave, was quite a popular side (the english speaking one) at the Newbury Nighters some years ago. Found a loverly minter in Savannah 2 yrs ago & had a devil of a job selling it............too dramatic for some I feel. Russ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest vinylvixen Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yep, that's me! How are u m8...? Roccia, have you got any of the Italian Motown picture sleeves?? If so, are you able to scan them...they are lovely to look at Any help appreciated. Jo Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Roccia Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Roccia, have you got any of the Italian Motown picture sleeves?? If so, are you able to scan them...they are lovely to look at Any help appreciated. Jo Jo, I got something for sure, but it needs a long digging session in my boxes to find them. Another good italian picture sleeve is Bobby Bland "I Ain't Myself Anymore" on Derbi (Duke on US). There's a complilation LP called "Nero Italiano" with some classic Motown tunes performed by the original artists, but sung in italian. It worth the price... Ciao Roccia Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest northernmod Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) Other italian PS are: Otis Clay - She's about a Mover, Tyrone Davis - Turn back the hands of time, Rocky Roberts - Just because of you...but sorry I don't own a scanner...I know there are many others PS of r&b/soul song printed in Italy... Two years ago in a small collection of records bought by my mother in the 60s I found a funny version of Felice Taylor "I feel love comin' on" performed by the italian pop singer Anna Identici and titled "Non mi cambierai" ("You won't change me").... Another funny record it's the cover version of the R&b dancer "I ain't gonna cry no more" (Timy Yuro) sung by Little Tony (a sort of italian rock'n'roll singer) titled "Mai pi¹ ti cercher²"... There are also lots of american/english beat songs covered by italian bands of the 60s....and some ska tunes, too...("shame & scandal" and "my boy lollipop" were popular here in the 60s..) Cheers!
