Caston & Majors

[funk brother joe]

Hi,

Just aquired a test pressing of the above artist Child of Love/ No One Will Know with paper work. As is shown on photo's the paperwork is of German origin, is anyone able to shine a light on the Motown / Jobete Music Co. connection?

Regards,

Funk Brother Joe.

Not sure what you're looking for. 

Both tracks appeared on the U.S Motown album #814 with no 45 release in the U.S.

A  45 was issued in the U.K. as Tamla- Motown TMG #938 on Valentine's Day in 1975.

Tony Blackburn's record of the week , not aged well , IMHO

The record itself is just a demo of the pretty common german release. German 70s Tamla-Motown demos usually came in the respective picture sleeve. The sleeve you have is an in-house one. Not meant to be distributed. Probably EMI archive copy.

Correct, the sleeve i have is plain with the words "Muster zu Ihrer Information" at the top.

EMI was handling Motown product throughout much of Europe at that time ... 

BTW, Caston & Majors were Leonard Caston & Carolyn Majors ... Leonard Caston was a songwriter, record producer, pianist and singer. He worked for Chess in the 1960s. He co-wrote or co-produced several major hit records, including Mitty Collier's "I Had A Talk With My Man" (1964) plus stuff by the Radiants, Jan Bradley, Sugar Pie Desanto, Billy Stewart, the Dells, Laura Lee, Little Milton, Bobby McClure, Marlena Shaw and many others. He seemed to quit Chess at the end of the 60's (when the label was starting to struggle a bit). He joined Motown in the early 70's and worked there mainly with (the solo) Eddie Kendricks.
