Of course it was.....unless the postage is over £20!!!

Great album, about 5 volumes (or so?) of mainly 'Northern' stuff.

[Staceys Dad]

probably the best motown lp in the world........

[Jim G]

I first oned it in the early 70T's really chuffed to get it again, and I also think the best Motown album ever!

Funnily enough I was playing some of mine yesterday. Although I haven't got the one you have it is advertised on the back cover of one of mine, I assume yours was the first volume.

They contain stuff like Frances Nero - Keep On Loving Me, Temptations - (Girl) Why You Wanna Make Me Blue, Marvellettes - I'll Keep Holding On, Brenda Holloway - Starting The Hurt All Over, The Contours - Just A Little Misunderstanding, Barbara Randolph - I Got A Feeling and stuff by Al Kent, Shorty Long, The Isley Brothers, Kim Weston amongst others.

I too 'used' to own it, worth every penny of what you paid for it, marvellous bargain catergory

Well done for finding it.

Yeah, good one (like your J.J.Jameson avatar, being a Marvel fan myself!), try finding a copy of that L.P nowadays for £1.99.

Released on Tamla Motown - STML 11244. I also have a few US releases in the DiscOTech series (1975 onwards) which comprised collections of more contemporary releases and I have one of the compilation albums from 'The Motown Sound' A Collection of Original Big Hits series - all well worth picking up if you see them - especially at £1.99.

This is the one that segues each track into the next, an innovation at the time, and it mentions people travelling distances just to hear "Six by Six". Not rare but a great album. The ones that are rare are the three volumes of Motown Memories, I think Dave Godin may have compiled them. Volume 3 is especially scarce.

[Harrogatesoul]

One finished on ebay a couple of weeks ago (Vol.3) that is. Link: HERE!

Thought that was cheap as Pete says quite a tough number.

I think the compilations were put together by EMI staff and maybe Dave Godin had some influence on Volume 1 as he did write the sleeve notes. Three columns worth in tiny print. What is it with socialists and cramming as much print onto a page?

On Motown memories Vol.2 Mike Raven writes " the very interesting selection of sicxteen tracks before menow. of course I can afford to say this, i did not select them....they have only asked me to write the sleeve notes!"

I'm sure I have Vol.3 somewhere but I donn't know who did the sleeve notes for it.
