nafalmat 4th Apr 2017		The first pressings had an orange cover, that was turned to green within a few months. I wonder why.



PhilMH 14th Oct 2015		I doubt that Motown would have had any dealings with Columbia Record Club at this point, because Berry Gordy pointedly stopped using Columbia's factories in 1965 when Columbia Records issued two old Four Tops tracks on 45 in direct competition with their Motown singles (leading to the hurried writing, recording and release of "It's The Same Old Song"), but OTOH I'm far from being an expert on CRC issues, so anything is possible.



Vinyl Fan 14th Oct 2015		Added label layout variation fmc. CRC labels? These label pressing types are confusing, I am just going to put label scans up from now on and let the experts decide what plants they are pressed at.



Vinyl Fan 25th Aug 2015		Front and Back cover 2nd issue scans added fmc.



cussincarryinon02 31st Mar 2015		Label scans uploaded (courtesy of BandBox244).



Trester 13th Jan 2015		My stereo copy on Tamla has the number T 253 V1. The bottom centre of the dark green front cover shows a sticker saying that the record is "Stereo". Should this LP get an entry of its own?
