Northernjordan12 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Hi Everybody, I've just started collecting a lot of the early 500's Motown TMG's on Issues. I'm looking for some advice on how to spot a re-press of a TMG records. Somebody told me that if it doesn't have 'SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT TO..' ect that its a re-press / re-issue. I've got a lot of later stuff on Motown (After TMG 700) but they all don't have 'SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT TO..' on the centre pieces? Any advice?
Guest brivinyl Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I think TMG 703 was the last release with the SOLD IN UK.
Northernjordan12 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 I think TMG 703 was the last release with the SOLD IN UK. Thank you very much, does that mean, everything after TMG 703 original releases?

Hope you've got a bulging bank account Good luck Ive got an old Beanos price guide from Croydon when I find it I will send you a copy I lists all the tmg singles its from circa 1980 so prices will make you laugh.

Liamgp Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 The text “SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS” was printed on EMI records between February 1964 and June 1969, so any older track from before then without it is indeed a reissue. As the post above says, an expensive business for all of the 500 series.
Mal C Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I'm doing the same but with Aussie Motown, so it's the TMO series... That said lots on Aussie London, W&G were the first issues down under... It's allot cheaper though... Good luck mate... Mal
MotownDave Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 may be worth you getting a copy of record collector rare price guide ( record collector mag book) it gives details in there of how to spot the later reissues , ie. font changes in the title text .. as Mr Huxley said hope you've a health bank balance cos some of the 500's aint cheap
