Chris, the Scepter one might be scandinavian, like swedish??

No, it has to have NCB on the label to be swedish, danish or norwegian.

I think that it is from Holland.

Check if it has got "670" machine stamped anywhere in the run-out groove, if it does it is definitely from Holland and distributed/manufactured by Polygram/Polydor.

Yes it's Dutch :thumbsup: Which is a bit strange as they tended to dink them in the shops upon selling. Those original

Isley Brothers - Rumours were mostly without original centres, never saw one with, I guess it exists.

I've had loads of dutch 45s over the years with their centres intact. Most of them actually now when I think about it.

You might be interested in these two books: "Tamla Motown - all Dutch Tamla Motown releases from the sixties" and "The World of Artone" (which is to be published soon)...

They changed the design of german TM from green/silver to black around 1967/68 when EMI took over TM from CBS. I'm pretty sure the same happened in NL.

 

Edit: Just looked up Discogs. The dutch Festival time is from 1971 and ties in with the UK issue on TMG 795 from the same year

As I thought, the Dutch Isley Brothers "Rumour" dates from 1971 issued.

The miracles 45...Come round here.. you posted above has the catalogue # 92255, which is from Feb 1971. i also have the supremes and four tops.. a taste of honey # 92328 which is June 1971, also Ain't no mountain high enough by Diana Ross/Supremes and the Temptations #90665 which stems from Sept 1969

Bri, do you have any reference table for dating the dutch TM 45's? The NL black label cat # seem to be same as german black label TMs. I could use it to pin down release dates of my german black label TM 45s.

not really a reference table Benji, it's just that 75% of the euro releases are contemporary to uk ones give or take a few weeks, and they all have corresponding catalogue numbers
