Guest EType69 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi, Can someone tell me the two serial numbers For Do I Love you on Tamla Motown? Thanks Steve I know one issue is TMG 1170, wasn,t it also issued with another number? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tabs Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 If you mean when it was re issued with Chris Clark version on the other side then the number is CAT NO 982 153 0. One on eBay now if you are looking. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve You are not wrong, it was issued in 1979 and 1981 with the same B isde -Sweeter as the days go by. From memory both issues had the same matrix number. I think the difference is the label / paper but I'm sure someone will provide more details. Cheers Tabs Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Cheers Tabs Easiest way to tell is the 1979 issue is distributed through EMI, the 1981 issue distributed through RCA. Also, the recent one with Chris Clark on the flip is a slightly different take.

Steve G Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Easiest way to tell is the 1979 issue is distributed through EMI, the 1981 issue distributed through RCA. I thought it had been pressed up four times in the UK - but maybe I dreamt that? I think there may be some subtle differences in the deadwax matri.

I think there may be some subtle differences in the deadwax matri. Yeah, that's right, several pressings, but anyone of these worth having. RCA took over about 1981 (my copy came with an orange Tamla Motown sleeve RCA distributed and on the label). Some early ones on EMI have perforated middles, rest have solid centres.

Guest Dante Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Also, the recent one with Chris Clark on the flip is a slightly different take. What's the difference???? Cheers Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 What's the difference???? Cheers Subtle differences, soon as it started I knew it was different from the 1979/81 issue. Play them both one after the other and you'll hear the difference. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kev Connellan Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 What's the difference???? Cheers isn't it a very recent re-recording? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 isn't it a very recent re-recording? Do you think? I know it's been re-recorded/mixed cause' it's on my missus KFC cd and sounds 'newer', also on the Motown CD which came free with Q magazine (think it was that one). It's the drum beat which gives it away on these CD recordings, newish sounding like on a lot of Ian Levine's Motor City tunes. The 45 doesn't sound the same as these though, the backing is identical to the 60's cut, just Frank's slightly different vocal cut, bit of an "ah" here and a "huh" there and so on. I could be wrong though, perhaps he re-recorded the vocal over the 60's rhythm. Haven't played it for a while so will dig it out and give it another spin....

FrankM Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Here's my hastily recalled and open to question time line. The original UK Tamla release was mixed in the late seventies using an "Eddie Foster" as a reference. The next official release was on This is Northern Soul which was a bit of a rush job without a few of the original master tapes available. But Do i Love You appeared in an alternative stereo mix with a slightly different vocal to the familiar single. It then appeared in a slightly different mix on Northern Soul Connoiseurs and I believe this version was on the KFC ads. This is Northern Soul was reissued as part of a double CD with the original master tapes used this time but Do I Love you was the same version as above. And then the 45 with Chris Clark's cover using the same instrumental tapes as Frank Wilson wasissued a couple of years ago. There's an alternative Chris Clarke on Cellarful of Motown I don't have connoiseurs nor an Eddie Foster and if truth be told i cannot be arsed digging the others out out and listening to them. However why would Motown re record any of the above for a minor re issue in the UK. They've got the master tapes. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
