"Hitsville USA-Greetings To Tamla Motown Appreciation Society" UK

Description

This is the last remaining copy I have, of the six I originally had. It's the Ultra Rare 45rpm, made by various artists of Motown, sending their greetings to members of the Tamla Motown Appreciation Society in the UK, which was formed by Dave Godin in 1964. This is one of the hardest Motown records to get hold of. There were only 300 originals pressed in the USA and were for the original members of the Society, and this is one of the originals, that Dave kindly gave to me, whilst I was one of the regular customers at Soul City Records in Holborn.

Breaks my heart to sell it, but all my collection has to go, as when I pass on, my wife and daughters, won't want the hassle of selling it all! Dave Godin it was who actually put Tamla Motown on the map in the UK, not the Beatles/Stones or anybody else, although many artists were of course fans of the label.

Margaret Phelps and Berry Gordy kick off the greetings on Side 1, and there follows Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye,Marvelettes, The Temptations.
Side 2 has greetings from Martha & The Vandellas, The Contours, eddie Holland, Kim weston & The Supremes, who sing a bit of "Where Did Our Love Go", which was a bit of a coup, because it had never been released in the UK at the time, and maybe not the US.
Rare chance to pick up this priceless gem, which is graded in VG+ Cond.It's also in the original blue sleeve, the records came in.

Good Luck if you're bidding and thanks for your interest.Low starting price.
