Guest Rich Walker Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hi gang, Bit of a newbie question here... How much would an original US copy of Chris Clark - Do I Love You set me back. Is it hard to get hold of? Sorry if this question has been asked before. Thanks SO much for your help. Regards, Rich. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Cover-up Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 It was unreleased... official release is on CD or recent UK 7" with Frank Wilson "Do I Love You" on the flip. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Rich Walker Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Oh dear... So that means i'll never be able to own an original of this song. Oh well... i'll have to wait for Mr Burrell to get shift of his Frank Wilson version. Cheers for the help. Thanks, Rich. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Cover-up Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Err, no - if you buy the UK copy from a few years ago, you'll have the 7" original of Chris Clark. Uh-oh, think I can feel a favourite thread coming on... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jaco Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 JM's 4th guide has it listed as "unconfirmed test press" for VIP 25031. This issue number is also for "Don't be too long/Do right baby, do right" by Chris Clark. Perhaps it should read VIP 25034 which is the issue for the Velvelettes "These things will keep me loving you" as apparantly the two records were scheduled to be released on the same number.

Sebastian Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 It would really, really surprise me if a genuine issue or demo copy of this exists. Here's what "The Complete Motown Singles Vol. 6: 1966" has to say about it: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest ruffsounds Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I asked Chris about this last year at Northampton as i also have a copy of said (boot test press) and she told me her copy never made it off tape as there was some sort of row over who it should be credited to re producing and arrangement she also said that Frank Wilson said it was not Motownish enough to be released hence it not being released at the time. cheers Ruffsounds Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

dthedrug Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 HI ALL...The facts on both versions of "do I love you" saga will run & run for many years to come. The 45's exist on US pressings however they are in such low numbers, the average collector can only dream about owning a copy, Chris Clark is only a blank test press, which was booted, by being dubbed from a CD, and sold as a looky likey test press, the original issues are on UK TAMLA MOTOWN, Frank Wilson was issued in 1979, and has a promo sleeve with the DEMO, The Chris Clark version was issues in the UK, as part of a BOX SET, 2O CLASSIC MOTOWN SINGLES, COMMEMORATE MOTOWN 45 YEARS, Chris Clark "do I love you" 982 153 0 AA. & is a 2004 UNIVERSAL MUSIC RELEASE, © 1966. Hope this helps DAVE K Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
