Came out as different title (My Guy) and not so good cover in the USA but same set of songs. Fab on the UK issue, great cover!!! Also, look out for Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston - 'It Takes Two' UK release l.p....far superior cover than the bland USA one! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I do normally collect USA L.Ps, but these 2 albums are just better in the UK format. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Philippe Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I didn't know this cover, it's really beautiful ! Just like Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston LP : Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

shute Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I've got this LP as well how much does the go for ?????????????????? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Philippe Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Thanks for that Philippe!! Great stuff. Here in France, we had some very nice EP's, but in England you had some great LP's with unique covers, like Jimmy Ruffin wich is the equivalent of the US "Sings top Ten". For me the most beautiful UK Motown LP : Brenda Holloway "The artistry" : Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Philippe Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 My pleasure, Eddie ! I have the Ruffin and Brenda LP's in my collection, but no camera, so all these rare covers come from popsike a site about ebay auctions. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Philippe Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Two great LP's that you (from England) must be proud of : Especially when there're no US equivalent. I'm happy to have them, too ! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest garv Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I remember reading that some American record companies were not keen on putting black artists on record covers in the 50`s & 60`s , this may be the reason the UK market has different covers for the same artists lps.
