Soul-slider Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Just found a copy of this Mary Wells Tamla Motown album , is it a rare one as I haven't seen it before .It's only vg but plays well .Best Wishes ,Eddie 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!

I do normally collect USA L.Ps, but these 2 albums are just better in the UK format.
Philippe Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I didn't know this cover, it's really beautiful ! Just like Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston LP :
shute Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I've got this LP as well how much does the go for ??????????????????
Philippe Posted March 23, 2007 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" :
Eddie Hubbard Posted March 24, 2007 Author Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks for the scans Philippe , some great sleeves !! Best ,Eddie
Philippe Posted March 24, 2007 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.
shute Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 What about this Major Lance LP cover = 1978 Motown Record Corp' Now Arriving
Soul-slider Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 What about this Major Lance LP cover = 1978 Motown Record Corp' Now Arriving Again, another one with a crap USA cover (a red carpet...that's it!)..... Contains the fabulous 'Think About The Love We Had'.
Philippe Posted March 24, 2007 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 !

Eddie Hubbard Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 Here's a nice Major Lance album I've got , only on UK :
Sean Hampsey Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Again, another one with a crap USA cover (a red carpet...that's it!)..... Contains the fabulous 'Think About The Love We Had'. And the incredible "I Never Thought I'd Be Losing You" Dead ripe for reactivation! Sean
Guest garv Posted March 25, 2007 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.
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 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.
