Was this released as a single anywhere? I'm watching a UK Tamla copy of Down To Earth LP but would prefer a 45!

Never on a single also on a budget album on Sounds Superb called Uptight .

And the Album was re issued in the late 70s so watch out, dont know how to tell the diferance though

Think it was an album only release, not sure though. When was George Carrow released on CBS (first issue)?

TOTP

Just looked at mine which is the reissue, The cardboards thin and in the bottom left hand corner it has, Available on tape printed on the backcover in small writing and 1966 original sound recording

I guess that means cassettes which were not around in 1966 ?

June 1967, I believe (on US Columbia only). I think Darrell Banks' version was also an early '67 release, which I guess would make Stevie Wonder's version the original.

prefer george carrow

but that might be coz ive 2 copies for sale

stevie as stated only lp track mfp

had a lot of unisued stuff on those

Cheers guys and what a shame it was never released on 45 eh! The NS scene shoulda jumped on it, as they did with Tears of A Clown and hounded Mr Gordy to issue it lol

STEVIE WONDER'S version is the best by a cotton mile!....Any yeah those old MFP LP'S certainly were great for unreleased tracks...

The Sound Superb lp also contains the brilliant Hey Love too. Easy to get for about 7 quid.

Or maybe a quid at the local car boot sale.

I,ve got this LP -Down To Earth - it says "sold subject etc etc" across the middle...can i assume then its original.Its also in mono.

No mention of tapes anywhere.
