Soulgrit Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 This group stopped recording in 1967, and 'baby hit and run' as well as their Temp's version of 'it's growing' were only issued in the UK on 45 on the Tamla Motown label in 1974. Both are on the mfp lp. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Can you provide release details please. Sorry mate, cant help you with the TM issue number (album collector only), but on the back of the lp sleave is written...."this album includes two track's never previously unissued on an album - 'baby hit and run'.. and their version of the Temptations 1965 hit 'it's growing' .. these cut's were issued in Britain as a Tamla Motown single early in 1974" (condensed). Maybe someone else on here could help. Edited November 26, 2009 by Soulgrit Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Philippe Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thanks Paup ! Too bad it looks so cheap ! I like the UK LP's when they have a different and nice cover, like "Take two" or "The Jimmy Ruffin way", I think I'll do without this one. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I like the UK LP's when they have a different and nice cover, like "Take two" or "The Jimmy Ruffin way", I think I'll do without this one. They all looked cheap! They were a budget series and I did buy it in a Cash n' Carry after all, not where you would expect to find records! P Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sean Hampsey Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thanks Pete, always thought IT'S GROWING was album only. Yes - that's correct. The Contours version of "It's Growing" is album only. Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers did a nice version on Gordy 45 though. Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
