If you contact Ian Levine on Facebook he might know.

I know exactly what you mean. Sounds like a Chicago production.

They are the same release. I have requested an merge on Discogs

Ellie Hope is the singer on the UK 45

Has the label been coloured with green felt tip pen?

I have had a few removed - all were 12" releases. I think they will start to appear again as official reissues

There is one here https://www.discogs.com/label/163857-Shotgun

There are a few copies of Eddie Spencer on popsike with a push out centre and no large "A"

Simon Sousan released a vocal and instrumental version on a gold Mirwood label done from the master tapes so maybe one version is that one - I no longer have it to check but someone else on here will

Chris, why are you trying to make the facts fit your memory of how it was? it says on the label "Baby Hit And Run & it's Growing (P) 1974" I along with others on here remember things differently and it's no coincidence the facts support this

Thank you Sean & Jim G

Released as a 45 in France, Germany (promo and regular issue) , Netherlands, & Japan - not sure about Spain

Val Palmer's Back In My Arms Again is featured on the album "Tamla Hits by Dianne and The New Worlds" on Stereo Gold Records - however the version of "Uptight" on the album is not the Ritchie Brown version https://www.discogs.com/Dianne-And-The-New-Worlds-Tamla-Hits/master/358548

The provable facts are the 45 was released 8th Feb 1974 the LP sometime in 1974 and the sleeve notes refer to the 45 having already been released EARLIER in 1974

Just dug out the LP and the sleeve notes refer to "Baby Hit And Run" having been "issued in Britain as a Tamla Motown single early in 1974"

I think you are both wrong - the 45 was released on 8th Feb 1974 - the album in the summer 1974 - i remember the album release because a friend sent me a postcard from his holiday in Blackpool saying he had just bought it as it had just been released and I went out and bought it in Newcastle that week - the only track on the LP new to me at the time was "It's Growing"

The original issue of "Baby Hit And Run" is the TMG single released in Feb 1974 - the MFP LP wasn't released until the summer of 1974

Wasn't it GRT-Janus? I bought a copy listed on Ebay as an original about the same time as Pete Smith - I paid £29 - the label looked good but the vinyl looked like 90s or later so I was ready to send it back as soon as I opened it - I then played it and it was stereo - I just assumed it was a recent pressing so returned it for a refund - it didn't look like a 60s or 70s release

I can count 7 versions of "Better Use Your Head" Pete - I like all of them Little Anthony Little Henry Lee Marion Ryan Barry Ryan Mel Torme Robin Wilson Dennis D'Ell

Thelma Houston's "I Ain't Going Nowhere" was another UK only Mowest track

I agree with you - however EMI dubbed from US 45s for for many early TMGs and Stateside releases UK cutting engineers did a great job at mastering so its actually hard to tell.

Are the tracks that are on CD for the first time taken from the tapes or dubbed from records?
