I asked this question about 6 months ago. From what I remember, I guess it was scheduled for a Kent release but Universal decided against it. There is someone on here who can give you a better answer than mine though.

Longest Aritist Name Printed On A Label
I (obviously) don't have the original but I do have the copy that came with "Hype And Soul" The A side label credits- "Margaret Phelps, Berry Gordy Jr., Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Marvelettes, The Temptations". The B side label credits-"Martha & The Vandellas, The Contours, Eddie Holland, Kim Weston The Supremes" So my question is do the credits have to be on one label or can they be on two separate sides?
