Per DFTMC no single release for either track.

[SHEFFSOUL]

so what was the point of the album?..it seems a bit sub standard..

[kevinsoulman]

one of numerous motown releases on a BUDGET label so you get what you pay for,

though some of yielded northern classics like gladys knight stranger ,

isley bros my love is your love and the one you mentioned amongst others

so..were these tracks recorded especially for this budget series..or were they pulled from existing recordings that never made it to vinyl/ were not considered single worthy?

[kevinsoulman]

some where lp tracks and some unreleased not specifically recorded for them just licensed from motown

Both tracks appeared on Tamla LP's - "More, more, more of your love" from  "Away we a go-go" with "I heard it through the grapevine" appearing on "Special occasion"

I've got a Music For Pleasure album called Motown Magic. That's got some interesting covers on it as well. It's got Smokey's version of HITTG on it, and Gladys Knight - The Stranger plus The Supremes doing Heatwave.
