According to a well known price guide (6th edition), there are styrene originals with the delta #68876 which would make it pressed in November, 1967.

According to discogs, the 70's reissue was stereo and has the following matrix info - UK4M-0865-1-1-1 PR (etched)

Strangely enough, the original credits for "I Love You Madly" were Ric- Tic publishers-

I thought that had to be the same Goldsby- Thanks for the confirmation !

The Melvin Davis was getting Detroit airplay in September, 1966 and the Steve Mancha charted in Billboard in July, 1966.

Is this the same Goldsby ?

I got that picture off the internet so chances are- it probably is your copy ! 😀

He produced this one - Oops- wrong pic in last post -

Here's a pic of the the South African release -

Adam White mentioned Loucye being on stage when the Miracles got their gold record, here's a picture from that event -

According to discogs, it's an "unofficial" release -

There are Canadian releases but they're a little strange. The Bell Logo is at the top but, there's also a Mala name on the label -

The blue label does show up on the later 12,000 series which started about 1968 and lasted until the end of the label. -

A few posts ago someone mentioned things lost in translation. Can someone help me out with this description - "bongo riddle rare ...soul" ??

Coming out as a Kent single at the end of August -

About 99% sure it was album only . It's on the Dionn and Top and Bottom albums.

R.I.P. Sharon -

ABKCO put out a 4 disc set in 2005- most of the songs are the big Pop hits but on Volume 3 and 4 there's some decent Soul and some great Northern (Frankie Beverly and Christine Cooper "Heartaches..." and a few others-

Found two sales on popsike -

What's the sound quality like? In her book "Berry, Me And Motown", Raynoma said she used a copy from a Times Square Record shop as her master.

I went through my box of Motown promo's from the 60's and I would say at least 90% had either promotion copy or audition copy or disk jockey copy. I did find 2 Supremes promos with no promo/audition/disc jockey copy on them. I don't think Motown would make special copies for jukeboxes and not mark them.

I agree. But does the Telma on the package refer to a singer named Telma (Telma Hopkins ) or a record company ? It doesn't make much sense that they credit Gwen Owens twice and then write Telma (referring to a record company instead of a singer) instead of Thelma and then use a song cut at Golden World and send it to Thelma Records .

Are you sure that's a RSG pressing of "My Guy"? I thought she was pressing them while the record was a hit. The copy you show is a reissue from 1970.
