Hitsville Demos

[Soulfulsolutions]

20+ Motown stable doubles, all on white label promos. Take some time out to remind yourself of the sheer brilliance of Hitsville USA, captured in this relatively short but juicy list of tracks. Universally the most aired Soul output for most of the 60’s.

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