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!

I do normally collect USA L.Ps, but these 2 albums are just better in the UK format.
March 23, 200718 yr I didn't know this cover, it's really beautiful ! Just like Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston LP :

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" :
March 24, 200718 yr 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.

March 24, 200718 yr 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 !

March 25, 200718 yr 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.
March 26, 200718 yr 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.
