Our commercial vinyl copy of "Stubborn Kind Of Fellow" by Marvin Gaye (Tamla 54068) states a time of (2:43), but actually runs (2:54).

Thanks a million, Paul, for doing all of us on the Board the favor of both pulling and timing Mr. Whitburn's original Record Research copy, to help resolve a question that had popped up during our "Complete Motown Singles Boxes" research!

Paul, simply FYI, a collector buddy of mine had a spare stock copy 45 of what he called "the rarer version" for "Stubborn Kind Of Fellow". So I bought it from him, and just timed it. But this copy (also Tamla 54068) has both a listed & actual time of (2:43). My 45's deadwax info is a machine-stamped "N8-OW 9660-1", so at least two different 1962 commercial 45's are out there.

The deadwax on our copy is DMB 007110.

jimct,

Your Tamla 45 is RCA Victor pressed. There will be a letter on it in the deadwax area indicating where it was pressed. Most likely pressed at Indianapolis, Indiana with the I mark in the deadwax. Paul Haney's copy has interesting deadwax. I would like to know about any other deadwax information on it. Tamla then also used Columbia for pressing as well. The Columbia pressings are on styrene.

I turn up the good and turn down the bad!

In addition to the letters and numbers already mentioned, our deadwax also states "Nashville Matrix".
