Yes, only came out on UK. 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!

Basically, Marvin & Kim are actually sitting in the chairs, as opposed to two empty seats!

I do normally collect USA L.Ps, but these 2 albums are just better in the UK format.

I didn't know this cover, it's really beautiful !

Just like Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston LP :

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" :

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.

Again, another one with a crap USA cover (a red carpet...that's it!).....

Contains the fabulous 'Think About The Love We Had'.

Two great LP's that you (from England) must be proud of :

And the incredible "I Never Thought I'd Be Losing You"

Dead ripe for reactivation!

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.

Mary Wells LP is great just not got it on vinyl mine is on a cd with another one of her albums 2 on 1 cd's Motown were good at that.
