Simon T Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Wasn't this made at Motown for all the 'thousands' of Motown fans in the UK, and on the strength of the large number of UK fans, the Tamla Motown Review tour was give the go ahead and financed by Berry Gordy?

He did give me some great soul magazines when the second shop was about to close in 1970.... and lots of advice!. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 This 45 was also re-pressed a couple of years ago on red vinyl as a giveaway with the superb, 'Hype & Soul' book by Al Abrams...a superb book it is as well! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Graym Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Wasn't this featured in an old thread with speculation about how many were actually pressed. Mentioned in Clive Richardson's book also - believed to be 300. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Davenpete Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Sure Dave said 180 (weird number I know) - anyway he gave us one when he came to stay once. Dx Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
