Frank Wilson recorded a demo of 'Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)' on Soul 35019 scheduled for release Dec.1965 - 6 copies produced Frank Wilson said that the song was recorded in Los Angeles with Carol Kaye on bass and Carol recalls Earl Palmer playing the drums. Motown were cutting lots of stuff in L.A. In the mid 60's and if you listen to this track, you can see why.
They could sound just like 'Motown' in L.A. And Motown needed the product. 3 copies retained in Motown archives and reputedely 3 retained by pressing plant ARP Berry Gordy decided the record was not to be released so Frank could focus on production career ARP destroys 2 copies to 'save space' so only a single copy retained in archives 1972 Motown (and archives) relocates to L.A.
Only a single copy of Soul 35019 remains in Motown library 1977 Record discovered by Tom DiePerro at Motown in L.A. Kev Roberts (Wigan Casino DJ) exchanges disc with Jonathan Woodcliffe in deal worth £350 in 12', LPs & white demos 1989 Tim Brown (Anglo American / Goldmine) buys Kev Roberts copy for £5,000 1990 Martin Koppel (Canadian record dealer) discovers another copy and acquires it from Ron Murphy a Motown record collector, engineer and archivist from Detroit who bought it from presing plant ARP. Koppel eventually sells his copy to his UK partner Tim Brown 1999 Kenny Burrell (Northern Soul DJ from Edinburgh) buys Ron Murphy's copy via Tim Brown for £15,000 (Note: Tim Brown still owns the original 'edge-warped' copy acquired from Kev Roberts). Alledgedly Frank Wilson offered Kenny £30,000 for his copy which Kenny declined. 2001 Frank Wilson performs at Fleetwood Togetherness weekender.
Kenny has Frank Wilson sign his copy 'To Kenny.' Apparently Frank expressed surprise that the disc existed. 2009 In April Kenny Burrell's copy is auctioned via Jon Manship and is sold for £25,724 to an unnamed buyer. Some speculate that in may indeed be Frank Wilson himself. Ian was known as DJ 'Frank' on the Northern Soul circuit and was involved with Simon Soussan producing Shalimar's 'Uptown Festival' in 1976. It was through connections with Tom DiePerro whilst attempting to get a deal with Motown for Uptown Festival that the Frank Wilson disc was unearthed. Kev was a Wigan Casino DJ who once owned the first discovered copy.
Tim is a renown UK rare record dealer / collector who bought, and still owns, Kev Robert's copy and acquired the only other copy to be discovered by Ron Murphy via Toronto based record dealer Martin Koppel. This is the copy bought by Kenny Burrell for £15,000 and the copy subsequently auctioned by Jon Manship for £25,724 in April 2009. 'I suppose the big story has been the hyping of Kenny Burrell’s Frank Wilson 45 by John Manship, the most weary aspect of which was an item on Radio 4 which yet again called into question the validity of any information we gather from the mass media so incorrect was it. Of course much of the misinformation has been created by Manship’s manipulation of the true story in order not to make any mention of myself or Martin Koppel. It has often been said that the 20th century was a victory for style over substance. Sadly, it would seem that the 21st century may well be a victory for fiction over fact sponsored largely by the internet.
