Four Tops Version Of ''helpless''


Sebastian

Recommended Posts

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. :rolleyes:

Yes, that's the one, the other side has got "Standing In The Shadows Of Love" and "Since You've Been Gone". An EP indeed, but seems to be the only 7" release of "Helpless". :rolleyes:

It certainly does, must be Rare that mate, never seen one.

There's some interesting french releases, Manship's Auctioned one or two recently.

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 :D

...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!

That's what I thought as well, but check out what I found in my record collection just a couple of hours ago: :lol: TOO many records!!! ranting_1.gif

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.
