Hi Brian,

What? The actual recording or the fact that it's strange to hear such a familiar 45 with different words? I know Chris pulled lots of stuff from the vaults including a few that surprised a few of us. That version of The Sparkles Try Love etc. (Can't remember who it was now). Al Pollard has the acetate of it. Also he pulled a track by The Magnetics from the same source didn't he? (Or maybe he just covered that one up I forget). All great tracks though.

had it for years allways wondered about the track, was there a 45 release on any format? :lol:

yeh but don`t think that ones with the different lyrics chris, ive got a british issue of the more common lyrics take, had a talk with someone a couple of years ago about this and as far as he new the motown chartbusters LP was the only release of the alternative take :lol:

Without searching for the old thread, AFAIK the TMG580 issue with the original words was the mono take, the stereo take has the different words and this was the one used for the reissued single and - am I right? - all the subsequent reissues.

Hippo.

Never one to miss a trick, here's a nice looking Canadian one...£25 and it's yours!

:lol:

so can we clear this up is there a 45 of the alternative take? i was under the impression this was never released on 45, thanks in advance :thumbup:

It is 2:25 of glorious mono, so probably not.

:wicked:

its deffo a no,if i remember correctly the alt version was put on the lp by mistake,so no alt take 45 release :shades::lol::lol:

Thanks Matey. I never realised this was available on vinyl. Something new every day eh? Excellent.

Hello Dave , Motown chartbusters 6 was the first LP I ever bought aged 14 , and for years thought the version on the album WAS the original version .It wasn't until I bought a Soul label copy that I discovered the difference !! Best Wishes ,Eddie
