Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Apple Records

[Raym]

I picked this up a couple of years ago - interesting:

 

Marvin Gaye “I heard I through the grapevine” pressed on an Apple label.

 

Is this a misspress or the engineer playing about or testing? Anyone else got anything similar?

 

Here are the details and a couple of photos — showing the TMG 686 in the runout grooves with the Apple label.

 

Apple 10 Mary Hopkin “Goodbye” — plays Marvin Gaye “I hear it through the grapevine” Matrix TMG 686 4-1

The flip side plays the fantastic “Sparrow” !! Matrix APPLE 10 B-1

 

Thanks, Ray

Ray I've got one like this - Regal Zonophone label - labels are for Dave Edmunds, one side plays Marvin Gaye the other plays Softly Whispering I Love You by Congregation!  We think they were test records for apprentices
