Yet another unsolved mystery, only someone with all four variants will put this one to bed. The same will apply to Marvin Gaye's Grapevine/Groove lp ........................ it is a case of Motown bending due to popularity of records being played.
Interestingly there is another account on Wicki, that say's as per my first comment !!!!
Apologies guys, I got them a**e about face !
''What'' came first, then ''Gotta'',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, see here https://www.bsnpubs.com/motown/soul/soul.html
very useful site for the lp lover !!!!
Sorry guys, did not make myself entirely clear, I was talking about the lp's and dates not the 45's, seem to recall reading about this somewhere re the reissue of the lp.................
''Gotta hold on'' was first issued in '69, then the popularity of ''What does it take'' brought about the reissue in '70 as the same title. With regards to labels not 100% sure but guess they would be different titles,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The change came about when Motown refused to issue ''What does it take'' as a 45 due to quality issues !!!, but DJ airplay forced the issue and the lp name change.
Please correct me if I am wrong anyone............
It is difficult to see the deadwax matrix but my copy has the ''nashville matrix''stamp on, as per JM's guide, do you know RobbK if both yellow and maroon have this ?
