Thanks; good to know! I've corrected the dates in the description. The timeline is: - Song written on tour, March - April 1965. Recorded by Marvin May 5 & 12 1965 (produced by Smokey). Marvin's single released Sept 14 1965 and performs it on Hullabaloo Nov 1 1965. Smokey & Miracles sing it on Hullabaloo Jan 31 1966 - after Marvin's version goes to #8 in the Billboard Hot 100. (Though it's possible they mimed here to an earlier demo version, rather than recorded it anew).
Ultra rare indeed.
It was written while they were touring Europe with other Motown artists (‘Motortown Revue’).
