ALL THE FOLLOWING ARE U.K. LABEL TAMLA MOTOWN DEMOS.

This first batch all have various label defects, so please read descriptions carefully.

Probably not for the collector who wants near perfection, but are priced down to reflect.

All have been stored away for many years, and would probably benefit from a good clean.

Still look great on the turntable, when that big 'A' is spinning round.

Grading is on condition of the vinyl only, I repeat, not the label condition.
