My commercial 45, confirmed as Gordy 7014, with deadwax of "DM
V022302", has a listed time of (2:25), but an actual time of (2:21). Current
db runtimes for this song range between (2:18) and (2:27).

I have recently acquired a promo 45 for "Come And Get These Memories".
Confirmed as Gordy 7014, it is quite rare for me to see any
Motown/subsidiary labels promo 45s *not* utilizing a white label. But, as
one of the Gordy label's first songs to hit the Top 40, (I believe "Do You
Love Me" by the Contours was their first, in late '62), that is the case here,
as the stock maroon label was used. The stock 45 flip side, "Jealous Lover"
also appears as the promo 45 flip side. (FYI, by 1966/67, the Motown
family of labels had become among the most consistent labels in
featuring the A-side of a song on both sides of their promo 45s. But,
again, mid-1963 was still fairly early on in "MotownMania").

My promo 45, in contrast to my earlier stock 45 timing report, has both a
listed and actual time of (2:25), with handwritten deadwax info of "DM V
022302", followed later by "delta 46726".

One thing Motown promos were NOT consistent about was
the logo. Of the ones I have, it's probably 60/40 with
the map logo vs simply the word "Motown" in block
letters. Subsidiary labels seemed a little more
consistent in featuring the logo, though Tamla was also
quite variable too.
