Although I have collected rare and Northern since I was a teenager I have never collected Motown.

 

Don't get me wrong, there are some decent records on those Motown labels.

 

If I was thinking of starting to collect US Motown - don't know why 

 

Supposing I decided to, what are the top tips for a fledgeling US Motown collector please?

 

Cheers

Go for it Richard.....IMHO a superb portfolio, that from experience, and purely from a collecting perspective, has always been a favourite of mine above others! 

big job richard, and probably a little late. im collecting motwn to m1900 need about 300, tamla full need about 50, rictic issue need 12 and demo need about 20, gordy need about 30, and soul need about 4, also have almost all of the pic sleeves,need 3 . the harder ones are, in my experience, the later 70`s stuff like commodores and teena marie (completist only) and some of the obscure thingds like granny hillbilly.  there is a lot of hard items, it just depends on if you  want the lot or just northern. the first supremes will cost you 800 quid, satintones angel 800 and all the early stuff. so first you need to decide what it is you are wanting. an example of how hard it can get is that a simple "road by the place" was released twice within 15 numbers.....and whole lotta woman has 3 versions..... which would you want.. like i said, a big job
