Moses and joshua
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. -

My Guy - Raynoma Pressing
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.

My Guy - Raynoma Pressing
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.

Rose Batiste Hit And Run
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 .

My Guy - Raynoma Pressing
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.

Rose Batiste Hit And Run
In the liner notes to "Pied Piper Presents ...Detroit Soul", Shelley Haims said he thought the lead singer of "This Heart..." was Telma Hopkins.

I doubt that's Martha- in a few places there are some resemblances but that's about it. I don't think Martha was working with Groovesville either. But one other Motown artist did- David Ruffin made "Still In My Heart" with Don Davis in 1966.

Does the Telma on the above package sound like Thelma (aka Telma ) Hopkins who was with the Debonaires?

If this is the same version you're talking about, I'm not sure that is Gwen Owens. It is hard to tell because the track seems to be slowed down. -

Worst Record I've Ever Heard
I think you're being a bit harsh on Roy. Is that record in my Top 50 favorite Roy Hamilton songs? - No. On the other hand, 1) At least Roy can sing 2) He's got competent musicians backing him up 3) He does not sound like he's on an acid trip.

Danny Price - Come To Me - UA
it's a tough call on this one. The two copies on popsike sold for $30- $35. But on discogs, prices are around the $100 mark. So did 2 people get bargains or did other people overpay?
