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?

Check out 'The British Invasion' which was on BBC4, about 18 mins in

Perhaps he may have given the 45 away in the early days in their first shop but Dave never gave me a copy. He did give me some great soul magazines when the second

shop was about to close in 1970.... and lots of advice!.

Great!

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!

[Graym]

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.

[Andreas B]

Very very cool to hear

[Davenpete]

Sure Dave said 180 (weird number I know) - anyway he gave us one when he came to stay once.
