Hitsville on Parade

[Soulfulsolutions]

20+ Motown stable doubles, majority on white label promos with a splash of colour from stockers.

Some show signs of use, mainly with writing on labels, others immaculate, but all play well enough to sell. Conservatively graded. As ever sound files available on request, PM to ask any questions or reserve.
