pikeys dog Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Here's the place to post a list of tracks that never received a 7" issue in the US, yet gained one in other parts of the world, be it 45rpm or 33rpm/EPs... Here's a few starters.... Argentina: Italy:
Robbk Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Motown actually released The Four Tops version of "The Last Train To Clarksville on a single"??? Why did they even record THAT??? Next thing I'll hear is that they also recorded "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Inna Gadda Da Vida" (however it is spelt!). 2
The Yank Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Motown actually released The Four Tops version of "The Last Train To Clarksville on a single"??? Why did they even record THAT??? Next thing I'll hear is that they also recorded "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Inna Gadda Da Vida" (however it is spelt!). The Tops recorded "...Last Train..." as album filler. Believe it or not, that same album ("Reach Out") has another Monkees song on it- "I'm A Believer".

Popular Post Douglaschip Posted May 26, 2014 Popular Post Posted May 26, 2014 Four Tops - Can't seem to get you out of my mind / Do what you gotta do - Motown Released in the UK and Europe with a picture sleeve - but 'Can't seem to get you out of my mind' not on US 45 just on album. One of their best in my opinion! Adam 5

pikeys dog Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 Where To Go? -Stevie Wonder -Don't know this exact title as I don't know music past 1971 or so.

Robbk Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Travelin ' Man I'm Wondering At least one of which is sung in Italian. "I'm Wondering" is translated to "I'm Not an Angel", and "Travelin ' Man" to "Where To Go?", Man, I've heard of artistic license, but that is ridiculous! They must have used Babelfish to perform those translations!!!

Sebastian Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Thought that was a promo I didn't think we were being that picky in this thread. The same goes for "Do I Love You" by Frank Wilson then. It's also promo only in the US. 1

John Benson Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 I didn't think of that Tempts 45 as a promo, more like a limited release for juke boxes and the like? it doesn't state that it's a promo does it? 1
Citizen P Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Misery Makes It Home In My Heart- Supremes, no US or UK, mines Dutch, think there's a German one too
45cellar Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 OK It is a Ric-Tic track, but not re-released by Motown as a single in the US As it did in other parts of the world. GERMANY :HOLLAND : NORWAY :
Sebastian Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 NORWAY : "Stop Her On Sight" was released with a picture sleeve in Sweden as well. Both the norwegian and swedish picture sleeves had the SWEDEN pressed 45 inside. The mix on this 45 is different from all other 45 releases of this track as far as I know. It's as if they used the stereo mix to master the single, but only ended up using one of the channels! SWEDEN picture sleeve: 3

Sebastian Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Odyssey "Battened Ships" Japanese Motown. I'd love a copy of that if anyone has got it for sale. Please, PM me if so.
greeneggz Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I'd love a copy of that if anyone has got it for sale. Please, PM me if so. Really rare and pricey even in Japan.
John Benson Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Well, if I ever knew that came out on a single anywhere, then I must have forgotten about it... Nice one from the land of the rising sun 1
Robbk Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I didn't think we were being that picky in this thread. The same goes for "Do I Love You" by Frank Wilson then. It's also promo only in the US. I had a stock issue of "Do I Love You" by Frank Wilson in my office for over 5 years, so I know that it was pressed. If you are using the reasoning that the record was "pulled" and the stockers never really got to shops (which I am fairly sure is true), then I believe the same thing happened to Soul 35019's DJ pressings. I've never heard that any of them ever got to DJs. The record certainly wasn't played in Chicago, L.A. Detroit, St. Louis or San Francisco Bay Area in the 6 months after the two press runs. I think they ran a press test run of a box of 25, and Berry made his decision not to release the record before the real DJ press run occurred. Otherwise, there would be a reasonable number of DJ issues from all 3 regional plants used by Motown at that time, and loads would have made it to the thrift stores like they did for all the other Motown records issued in late 1965/early '66. The number of DJ issues of that record known to exist can be counted on the fingers of one hand, just as the stockers. I think both were extremely small test runs only, or decent sized runs with almost all destroyed BEFORE they got into outsiders' hands. Otherwise we'd have a LOT more. I saw hundreds of DJ copies of ALL the released records. Only the pulled back records (Soul 35019, Tamla 54106, 54108, and VIP 25006) didn't have DJS in big numbers. I contend that Soul 35019 was NOT "promo only" in US, but was neither stock nor promo, or, if you want to consider being pressed in any number but never sold nor aloowed by DJS to be played as "issued", then Soul 35019 would not qualify for being "DJ" only, as at least some store stockers were pressed. 1
Sebastian Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Really rare and pricey even in Japan. I totally understand that, but I would still be interested.
