Sebastian Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Sorting out some stuff to put up on eBay and was left scratching my head whether the Four Tops version of Kim Weston's "Helpless" was released on a 45 anywhere in the world except on the rare picture sleeved french "Standning In The Shadows Of Love" 7" EP? Can't find any mention of a US or UK release. Edited August 23, 2006 by Sebastian Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

An EP indeed, but seems to be the only 7" release of "Helpless". Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

There's some interesting french releases, Manship's Auctioned one or two recently. Edited August 23, 2006 by 45cellar Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) Yes, it was issued on a 45, on Indian Tamla Motown. It must be stupidly rare - the only copy that I've ever seen was owned by a Mr. I. Levine of Blackpool, and that was back in 1969. Back then Ian had what seemed like an unbelievable collection of non US or UK Motown pressings, from places like Nigeria, the Congo and, of course, India. Can't remember what was on the other side, think it might have been one of their big hits, but we are talking 37 years ago now... TONE ...Actually now I come to think about it, it may have been a South African TM, but the fact remains that, yes, it WAS issued on a 45 somewhere in the world!

Mark W Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 That's what I thought as well, but check out what I found in my record collection just a couple of hours ago: TOO many records!!! I bought one of these from Mick Smith at a record fair mid 80's, remember him claiming this was the only 7" release of Helpless. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
