There's a couple of mistakes in the above that are now annoying me ... I typed Us when it should have read US . . . ... PLUS it says ... of << near to the end when it should have been >> off (the chart) ...

But my main reason for posting is ... IN THE US, "two different mixes of "THIS OLD HEART OF MINE" were put out (copies pressed up). Both had the same Tamla label release number (54128) but their different mix numbers are shown on the 45 labels (173323 & 175313). #3323 was the 1st version. Perhaps they needed (a few months down the road) new stampers & used a different master tape / acetate to make these. I wonder how many of each of the 2 different mixes on the US Tamla 45's ended up over here in collections (seems copies made of one version far outnumber those of the 2nd version).

The Canadian 45 copy (on their Tamla Motown label) used the #3323 mix.

ALSO it's worth noting that the Irish issue of the 45 also utilised the TMG 555 number, as did the Norwegian & Finish versions of the single.
