	TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points	Regarding the UK releases, until 1976 the label was Tamla Motown, with the black "45" labels. After 1976, it was just Motown, with the blue labels. Although all the 12-inch singles came out after 1976, a few of them - 10 or 12 perhaps - were on the old Tamla Motown label. The catalogue numbers just slotted into the ongoing Motown sequence. A few have Motown labels on the A side and old songs with Tamla Motown labels on the B side. What to do in terms of the discography? I've just loaded up one Tamla Motown 12-inch (Temptations, "My Girl"), which is the first and only one at the moment. It shoud sit with the rest of the Motown releases, shouldn't it? Or should it stay separate? Now comes a more complex issue - where the A side is on the blue Motown label, and the B side is on the black Tamla Motown label - how do we list them? You can only select one label when adding a record, and these really are two different labels... Edited by TopPopper on 20th Apr 2013, 9:03 PM
