Description
This is an early Tamla Mowtown French Import produced by "Les Industries Musicales et Electriques Pathe Marconi - Paris".
Record is MONO Ref: TMEF 501, I believe from 1965. There is a live track on the E.P. relating to a Tamla concert with the Supremes and many other Tamla artists at the Olympia, Paris on 13th April. There is a "Billboard " review of 1st May 1965 describing the event, (the first foray by Tamla into the rench market), and this refers to the first Tamla releases in France, of which Earl Van Dyke was one band.
Tracks are: Side 1 (Face 1) Soul Stomp
Too many fish in the sea
Side 2 (Face 2) Hot'N'Tot
All for you
The Band: Earl Van Dyke - organ, Robert White - guitar, Uriel Jones - drums, Jask (Jack?) Ashford - vibes.
From my research the combination of songs appear to be an amalgam of Stateside SS357 and Tamla TMG506, but this record seems not to be present in the UK valuation listings I have seen. It would seem that this is the VERY FIRST E.P. issued by Tamla Mowtown in France.
Condition:
Sleeve: Lamination complete and only slightly scuffed at edges, 10cm tear at bottom right. Back is not laminated and is somewhat discoloured with indent from record and my initials (see Photo 2).
Record: Label has my initials (twice!) on on side. Slight marks both sides where centre adaptor (for UK use) was secured by sellotape.No significant scratches but lots of surface marks. No jumps or clicks but some surface noise (more on Side B than Side A).
Rating: Sleeve VERY GOOD Record VERY GOOD
This is so rarely available that valuations are hard to find, but the "Fench EP collection " for Tamla Mowtown values this at 80 Euro's. Who will start the bidding @ £50?
