Brenda Holloway White Label Demo
I'm not an expert on Motown foreign releases but this looks like an "unofficial release". According to the Don't Forget The Motor City" website, the song was cut on June 08,1966 so I don't know where the "13/2/66" date comes in. It looks nice but I suspect someone pressed up these copies.

Just wanted to make a minor correction to an earlier post . Tammi Terrell was signed to Motown in 1965, the company released her first single in November of that year (#27 on the list) -

Joey Dee And The New Starlighters – How Can I Forget
Not sure why Caneil isn't considered a "real label". I don't think any U.S. Pop Music stations would have been playing bootlegs in the 60's . The single is at #63-

The Eddie Holman 45 on our charts is 6 months old
I agree with you that Boston took it's time adding "This Can't Be True", but I think you should cut Baltimore some slack. Not sure where you got the Baltimore list in your 1st post ( from some Pop station in the city?) but one of Baltimore's biggest Soul stations was playing "This ..." much earlier. And since it was Top 5 on the chart, they were probably playing a month or so before that-

Golden World: Locals & Outsiders Involved
According to the liner notes of the "Boy Meets Girl" album, recording sessions took place at the following studios- Fame Studios- Muscle Shoals, United Sound- Detroit, Terra Shirma- Detroit, Ardent Studios- Memphis. A majority of the tracks (according to the liner notes) were produced by Al Bell, Isaac Hayes or Booker T. Jones. Don Davis was listed as one of the producers on these songs- "Hold On This Time" - William Bell and Mavis Staples, "It's Unbelievable..." - Pervis Staples and Carla Thomas, "Strung Out" - William Bell and Mavis Staples. These are the ones I think are the most likely to have used Terra Shirma or United Sound. But any of the producers listed could have had their sessions in Detroit.

According to Carl Davis' book , "The Man Behind The Music", Carl worked well with Dave Kapralik .Columbia placed OKeh under the supervision of Len Levy and the two of them just couldn't work together.

One of Sonny's earliest releases on Brunswick was this LaVern Baker 45- If you look at the credits, there are names that are more closely associated with Golden World than Chicago-

Teddy Pendergrass
Teddy joined Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes as a drummer sometime the late 60's (?) or early 70's. He took over lead vocals on "I Miss You" and did just about all the leads on their biggest hits on Philly Int'l.

Joe Matthews came out in late 1965/ early '66 , the Tempos is from 1968 or 1969.- Tony Middleton & Polydor ?
I'm guessing that "Paris Blues" was originally recorded for Polydor International. The Polydor ad (Cashbox - July 2, 1966) states that Claus recorded his 1st singles for Polydor in the U.S. In the 2nd article, (Cashbox June 11, 1966) it appears that Helios Music ( which published "Paris Blues) was looking to lease their masters to "a host of key labels". So once again, I'm guessing Polydor had international rights to Claus Ogerman productions and they were free to lease them to any company in the U.S.- Less common original labels of classics
