MARVIN GAYE - THIS LOVED STARVED HEART OF MINE
(TAMLA 42286-0288-7 PICTURE SLEEVE)
b/w IT'S A DESPERATE SITUATION

 

 

Very rare Tamla picture sleeve of 2 superb unreleased Marvin tracks.

 

Apparently these were given out as gifts to executives at a Motown conference in the 90s and have made their way onto the market by
various means since - some even collected by conference staff when
the execs didn't take them. Not sure how true it is but it's a good story!

 

here you are pete.

 

Pounds  446.50.

hope this helps.

 

ricky.

Sold mine to a bloke in Oz about 4  years ago Pete for £350.00.......so I would think 450 ish is about right.

[Moxey25]

Yeah you could, you could get it on this Motown promo only 45, which was the only legit way of getting it before last years box set.  They are about 18 years old now I think.

[Chalky]

The last couple I've seen in the last few weeks have been around £400.

[Ian Seaman]

[Pete S]

HI ALL  Pete I'm sure there was a US TAMLA PROMOTION? DAVE K

 

Yeah that's what this is Dave.

It is for sale if anyone wants it.

[Russ Vickers]

Was played from this promo at the 100 Club virtually straight away, think mine was £100 at the time...there seemed to be a fair few about TBH.  Obviously played by RS in the latter days of the Casino, but Ady reactivated it at the 100 Club fo sho...sold mine yonks ago, cos as stated it had been thrashed.

I have to assume that this is the "original" nineties release ?

Thats it

[Russ Vickers]

Yes, from an acetate, whether it was an original acetate or cut from a tape I dont know, I think it was played as Marvin Gaye -  'Its Killing Me', as opposed to the full title.  Or maybe I have dreamt it, but dont think so, anyone confirm, as my old brain can get a little confused these days after all of the years of abuse :-).

J.J. Barnes first was it not, not sure if it was first wave of tapes, but pretty soon after if not.

 

We just need that comedy duo, Soul Sources equivalent of Only Fools etc, , Robb Del-Boy K and Rodney Shard to confirm I suspect.

[Chalky]

J.J. Barnes as Jock rightly says is what it was covered up as by Rod and Dave Withers cut from the tapes from Robb K.  I know Richard got cuts as well of some of the stuff but was led to believe it was after the Casino shut when played? May have been played somewhere just prior to Stafford, some club in Manchester maybe?

The original 45 was given out at a promotional convention for the release of the Marvin Gaye CD box set, The Master was it?  No one wanted the 45, well not many.  Someone told me he was going round picking em all up off the floor.

Manchester venue, biggish venue I thought, and SAS event run by Searling and Bernie Golding, to a very small crowd.

 

 I remember it as with Dave W turning up with almost a whole spot full, it was a nighter after a jazz funk dayer, and there was more jazz funk people there than the Northern crowd! Very little dance floor reaction, including myself.  I didn't know anyone there, probably very early Stafford if at all, before Dave took it over and before I went, and end of Clifton Hall time period. Was going to a few SaS events then. I remember getting excited as one of the big sounds I thought was called Jealousy, went home all excited robbed Carlena Weaver off a mate for about a quid and got home to realise wrong record, and then remembered the one I had heard was called Suspicion not Jealousy. Karma was returned years later when I found out the Carlena Weaver was a bootleg!

 

However Mr Shard can't remember this do, so to be fair he probably knows more than me and this may have been a symptom of me going out a lot then and getting mixed up.

Anyone else remember this, save my sanity?

[Triode]

Think you are correct Chalky "Manchester Tiffs" was the venue that most of the first wave of unreleased Motown acetates were first spun via Dave Withers and Rod Shard from memory causing quite a buzz !

I wasn't there but recall everybody was talking about it at the time, this would make it a couple of years after wigan.

SAS, that's the venue I was referring to and the first time Suspicion was played out so I'm led to believe.  I have some old echoes with adverts in for e venue, will dig a couple out and scan them.

It was in-between Wigan and Stafford so late 81 or early 82.

[Russ Vickers]

So I was a little out with my timing, but there abouts....thank you for clearing that up guys....

Whilst doing the podcasts for the Stafford Story for Richard's part the three unissued Motown I could pin down to him was The Temptations, "A Tear From A Woman's Eye" & "Angel Doll" and Marvin Gaye "Lonely Lover", not "It's Killing Me" and they were in '82. That was Dave Withers first and foremost as far as I can ascertain, I have play lists from the second Stafford and the tales of the night in Manchester where Dave first played all the Motown for the first time. I have the SAS nights in an old echoes I will dig them out.  None of the Motown from the tapes were played at Wigan according to Rod and Dave.

That makes sense and ties this little loop of a story; I did read those stories here on SS about those early 80's unissued Motown tapes with RobbK, Rod the Mod (sorry that was too easy) and Dave W. But now just reading this I understand what it must have meant to Dave W. when he gave me a copy of that promo picture sleeve 45 some 15 years ago. I couldn't have guess that and this little story just add contextual value to this very copy I was given by Sir John Doe. Great ! Cheers for all of that.

Hi, just rooting through some old stuff - not sure if this'll post as its a few years back but, 'Tiffanys World' was the venue, on Oxford Road (I think). the one you entered and were met by about 40steps to get to just below ballroom level, where you paid in - and then another small flight to get you to the venue room entrance door, dancefloor infront and to the left, and, bar on the right.  Not sure who ran it - Dave W played the record covered as JJ Barnes - Its Killing Me, as is mentioned here somewhere, but whats not on here is that he'd done himself a rather nifty red Atlantic solid centre acetate looking label.  DJ's included Arthur Fenn who played tunes by 'Record Player, which I still don't know the title of as well as half of his set - enjoyed it, just don't know what was played, Pages - Heartaches and Pain and as Joe Tex had recently passed - Under Your Powerful Love.  Pat Brady was on too, played stuff that he played at the Queens Hall, Carl Carlton - Hey Little Girl C/U... of which I asked . is this Junior McCants .. I'd had The Boy Needs A Girl for a coupla years by then.. didn't get an answer but with so few copies - did it really matter if I was right or wrong?? ... anyway can't remember any more DJ's went with mi' then girlfriend who had a Gary Numan T-shirt on and bought The Determinations - Bing Bong- King Demo offa Pat (B) for £10... good day out.
