| | The original 1970 release in Australia was Tamla Motown STMLO 10045 (same tracklisting).If You have the US release and it's not already on here,then it would be great if you could scan it. |

| | Hi, Gregs78s. I wasn't saying there was anything special about this rear cover. It was just a simple idle observation on my part, nothing more than that. But it didn't always hold that the rear artwork on an album issued in one market would be the same as another market's issue of the same album. To demonstrate that' I'll have to upload my Ventures "Telstar" LP, as well as this LP and a few others I've planned to put on this site.....boy, oh boy am I gonna be giving my scanner a thorough workout! Ouch! By the way, RC, You mustn't have this in your collection, then. You couldn't come up with the Aussie catalogue number. That begs the question...Was this LP even issued in Australia at all? |

| | According to the notes the sleeve is "Textured". My copy of "What's Going On" by MARVIN GAYE is exactly the same. Perhaps one day some bright spark will be able to produce some app that will let us feel that on the screens of our devices.... LOL. |

| | Most album covers on the site use the same main artwork,only with variations of text/Cat No for each country,i fail to see what's special about this one?. |

| | Fairly straight-forward, RC, just substitute on label and top-right British(and Euro) catalogue number for the Aussie number, change the blurb either side of the trademark at the bottom of the cover, leave the image and contents as is, hey-presto, an Aussie issue! By the way, RC, what WAS the Australian catalogue number? I ask as I only have the US issue. |

| | The Australian issue would have the word STEREO on top of the label and the rest......well neil will fill you in its over you neil

| | If people appear confused by my comment, maybe I'll simply delete it.
And that has now been done. But I'll leave the explanation as it might make my comment a little clearer. |

| | I think what I said is straight-forward. If you disregard the Top-right corner of the cover, the different serial numbers(catalogue numbers) and the Tamla-Motown trademark, bottom-centre, together with the blurb either side of it, and simply take the cover's colour, the photo of Diana in a dancing pose superimposed over her portrait, and the positioning of the contents list, these are the same as the US back cover. I think there's a US cover already hear as a linked release. Click on it(if it's there) and compare the two. You'll then see what I mean. Just looked - sorry, no linked issue. Looks like I'll have to add my US copy to the site. |

| | Neil, I'm as puzzled by your comment about the back cover as greg is - cover the same as the US is how it should be, and usually is. |

| | I have the American issue of this LP. Her version of "These Things Will Keep Me Loving You" is, for me, the stand-out track. |

| | Incredible version of Ain't No Mountain. I love Marvin and Tammi, but this is practically a different song - and arguably even better. |

| | I can see why the joke was overlooked :( |
|

|
TopPopper 27th Oct 2013
| | It was intended as a joke - Diana Ross as a boy. They were still figuring out how to market her as a solo artist, and used it on the LP. Bad choice - people objected to it looking like an emaciated, hungry child while Ms Ross and her Motown bosses were by now millionaires. |

| | I'm curious as to the thinking behind the front cover shot,unusual for a debut lp,any thoughts?. |
