Welcome to the forum.

The "My Boy" / "Thinking About You" single appears to have been released by RCA in Portugal too. You can also see other variants here :

Thanks, John. This is the same website I linked to in my post. It's indeed a very useful site that I visit often.

redcoat, take a look at this site too. It has 22 variants of the single, including promos. There are versions from México, South Africa and Uruguay, among the rarer ones.

From this site, you can also purchase stuff, but you must register before as a member :

Ah sorry. I searched 'My Boy South Africa' and that came up. Oh well, hopefully redcoat will find a few more releases.

Maybe interesting for your project about the original version:

Here's a curio you may not know about.
You may think it's from England, and the label may say it's manufactured in England, but.....

It's actually from Ireland, so play spot the difference on the label with the regular English version.

Oh, and don't forget the English pressing is available in a 'push out' and 'solid centre' variation.
