Hi Paul, As already informed, yes it was, I have a copy in my boxes, spent some time years ago getting the low down on it, which culminated in confirming it was a boot white demo, although I found out a good friend told me he had a Ric-Tic coloured Dj copy! Regards, Lee

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a concise list of Motown stable picture sleeves that have been issued in the US. Not concerned about UK, European or other Countries at this time, just US. Any pointers gratefully received. Cheers, Lee

I suppose turning up a holy grail ISSUE was always going to be tough, I have a new demo coming, M- XOL, perfect replacement for my own faux pas and at a snip too! Best, Lee

Just about does it for me, Blue Cat issues are about and the Red Bird version has a Dodo logo! Thanks to you all for contributing, Lee

Hi Phil, I had a copy on Cosmic, blue label but with 1976 above the credits. I think it's a legitimate 45, maybe a rerun on a subsidiary label, the first was Virgitone. Not sure what the 1976 on the label proves or disproves! Best, Lee

Here you go, details in my reply to John above. Regards, Lee

No question about it the Sammy King 45 is a brilliant double sider that I would highly recommend. I recently added both sides of this 45 with label scans to refosoul, search for Sammy King! Sold my original copy 10 years ago, got my replacement several years later after realising my mistake and searching long and hard, only seen 3-4 mainly beaten copies since. Some years ago I was told that Sammy King was closely related to Tommy Ridgely of International City fame!!! Both labels outta New Orleans? Lee
