I have all three of these listed for sale on Discogs but I appear to be in the minority over how to accurately list them. So I am sure you guys can help me as you always do.
All three of my copies have simple four-digit catalog numbers. The Temps are MOTD 3366, The Tops are MOTD 3365, and Marvin is MOTD 3868. However, other listings on Discogs have longer catalog numbers. Those longer numbers do not appear anywhere on my copies.
But the real confusion and the part I want to make sure I get right is about the country of origin. Everybody else has their copy listed as being a UK product, but all three of mine appear to have been manufactured right here in the good old USA.
At the present time, I therefore have mine listed separately from everyone else's for that reason. So my question is......Despite the difference in the catalog numbers, do I have the same old version as everyone else or am I correct that my three were US releases not UK?
If it makes any difference, I see that all three of mine have CRC printed below or to the side of the bar code. Could that possibly stand for Columbia Record Club and maybe that is the answer to my question. I most likely was a member at that time and I could see myself having bought these through the club, but heck that was 23 years ago and I have trouble remembering what I did last week!
Any help appreciated.
