Oops.....only just seen this post.....apologies for repeating. Temps version on Youtube.....

Thanks again Robb, the date seemed odd because the DFTMC lists it as April 1962 Pic below), but you had mentioned in a previous post that some Motown acetates were made a few years after the Jobete publishing acetates, so guess this could be the case here? Thanks to Lenny Harkins for additional info. Regards Mace

Just re-reading this information.....could you clarify if the pic below of the Eddie Holland acetate is what you described as a Motown Corp. Acetate or the Studio Demo Boot.......think this was the only one with the 'Hitsville Sound Studios' stamp on the label, and was also a lot cleaner condition than the others......I left this one cus of lack of funds, but a friend of mine bought it afterwards, and he'd like clarification on authenticity......thanks in advance. Regards, Mace.

Thank you Robb, I appreciate you taking your time to share your knowledge with us. These are in pretty good shape considering their age and fragility....some surface noise as mentioned by Andy Rix, which seems to have been evident back in the 80s. I had to leave a few others cus of finances, though two of those were pretty weak (a Bob Kayli one and another artist I forget).....there was another one by Eddie Holland that a friend of mine bought, and this was same label but had a Hitsville logo ink stamped on top centre of label. Regards Mace

Apologies for keeping it so short, I'm sure it will be available to hear in full sometime in the future, with bootlegging so rife nowadays I'm just trying to avoid the obvious.

So Robb, are these the ACTUAL acetates you had access to, or is it likely that more were produced? Also, were the artists names written on them at the time you saw them, as I presume Andy thinks they have been added since? Many thanks for adding more info, it's very doubtful that I will keep most of these cus believe they need to be owned by someone who will cherish and care for them for many years to come....but already getting kinda attached to the Miracles and Mary Wells ! Regards Mace

Send me your email addy by PM and I'll email you the MP3.......or have you tried your phone?

Hi Andy, thanks for some additional info! These were purchased in Austin, Texas from a dealer who had come over from L.A. Whilst I was listening to the discs, Craig Moerer was speaking to the guy, and I guess he was discussing the background history....I was keen to purchase them with what cash I had left so didn't hang around to discuss them further but do know how to contact the seller to get more background info on them........ I have been told that another copy of the Marvelettes acetate exists, so not sure if there are more copies of the Brenda Holloway? The style of handwriting looks different on each one, as does the pen used......not sure if that's intentional or not? Oh, btw, sourced a Ray Williams on Space last year, so you've managed to shed one mitherer at least ! Regards Mace

Having just returned from a U.S. digging trip, I was fortunate to acquire 8 x Jobete Acetates of Motown tracks that were never released on 45 format, though most seem to have been comped on various LPs/CDs over the years. I've had quite a few requests to hear the Brenda Holloway version of Gladys Knights 'Here are the pieces of my broken heart', which I presume has never seen the light of day til now? So to oblige, I've uploaded a short (47 secs) soundclip onto my website so I can share via various online groups etc.....just click the link and the player will be underneath the scan of the label. Sorry it's such a short clip, but you all know the score! Sublime vocals with a simple piano backing....and the added bonus of the count-ins.......1, 2, 1,2,3,4..............enjoy! Brenda Holloway - Here are the pieces of my broken heart - Jobette Acetate

Just a few of the 123 x 45s recently added to my website.....! Another great mix of styles and prices to suit all.....all with soundfiles and label scans from actual 45 on offer.

Very sad indeed......was chatting to him at Stoke Record Fair last month and noticed his absence at same fair on Sunday just gone. A lovely guy, very knowledgeable and passionate about soul music and was a privilege to have known him. R.I.P. pal, at least you are in good company with long departed friends. Mace.

To be honest, I'm not actually sure if this ever actually got released....... but will pay a very handsome price if anyone can find me an original 7" on Vanessa ! Desperate of Stoke.

So, following speculation regards the history, and a recent end price of $292 for the Bobby Bland 45 on Duke 336, I've recently listed a copy of this 45 on a 10 day ebay auction, to establish if that value is fair and reasonable.....starts at $9.99 and chucked in a free Duke 45 Adaptor..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/142394323585?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
