Question...did the Four Tops' version of the Serrgio Mendes/Lloyd Price track come out on a 7": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2haBm9W546g

So, there I was thumbing through the shelves when I reached a clutch of Ric-Tic releases. I stopped at Edwin's "Agent Double-O-Soul" and recalled a Manship auction when John had a copy up for grabs of "Agent OO-Soul". He had noted that the matrix code ended with an "A" ... ZTSC104309 1 A to be precise, with the flipside being ZTSC104314 1 A...thus reflecting it came from the initial batch. Now, the copy I have (pictured) has the "1 A" on the main-side, yet "1 D"...odd that it had reached the 4th plate for the flipside yet were still using the initial plate for the main side?. Then I realised that the disc is actually on styrene not vinyl, so it would have been "injected" and not "stamped"...so the plates (not stampers) should've lasted a longer. So, what happened to the A, B and C plates for the instrumental...did they all get damaged?! So, sticking with this release only, who has which title, on what colour of label and matrix code combinations then...and apologies in advance for possibly the most Anorak question ever
