Hitsville Bonanza

[Soulfulsolutions]

Turning to Hitsville today and the greatest Empire to have ever conquered the world. Many of these are house hold names and tracks we all love, but quite often there’s a lesser known gem on the flip, even if I haven’t listed them. No collection should be without a spattering of stock and demo copies, so here’s some doubles up for grabs.
 

Selected images due to upload allowances, so I’m happy to provide them and any sound files. PM questions or to reserve.
