There's a few releases by them that are unique to South / Central America. "Pickup" got released there on a 7" and there's a nice 4 track E.P from Brazil. I'm still hoping to find my favourite by them on a 7", the great "Moving On" from their first album.

Just a few months after 'Move On Up' was released in a number of European countries Curtis came over here and did live shows on BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test , Germanys Beat Club TV show and probably others too. I would of thought organising these shows and bringing a full live band would take a few months preperation. So did he come here on the back of 'Move On Up' being a hit or was it released knowing he was already scheduled for a promotional tour for his solo career. Why was it Move On Up that was picked considering it was already a one year old album track. Did it have something to do with the UK Soul / Allnighter scene liking uptempo dance music ? Here is Move On Up on Beat Club, it take three attempts to get it started, the look on the drummers face says "It's been a long day". Curtis does say on his intro the song was very popular internationally. https://youtu.be/sF1uF-28MZE?t=649 ***cant embed on here, probably for copyright reasons in Germany

Can i put a Word doc on here ? Something i've been working on for a while, Curtis publishing demos after he left The Impressions and went solo. These were done around the same time as 'Move On Up'. 5 EPs with 4 tracks on each, 17 by Curtis, 2 by Five Stairsteps and 1 by Major Lance. The Curtis ones are up there with his best work. One of the greatest artists in music. Word

These are usually associated to Columbia/ CBS Records pressings, Columbia, Epic, Philly Int. etc... The Motown one above could of been pressed at one of their plants. I don't know what 'Re-service' means I think it's just their way of stating it's a demo. Seems to have started early 70s.
