An incredible package – one that features every Motown single from the label's first 3 years, including the a-sides and b-sides for every one! The package is long overdue – as these early Motown years are some of the label's most compelling – not only because they show the formation of the hit sound back in its infancy, but also because they show Motown working in a much wider range of styles as the time – with a host of artists who never went on to become as famous as the label's stars! The packaging itself is worth the price of the set – done as a hardcover book with 90 pages of notes and color images on every single song – plus separate pages that contain the CDs, and even a bonus vinyl 45 package inside the front cover! The whole thing is incredibly beautiful – the kind of package that we'd gladly trade a pile of rare singles for – and which really has us tipping our hat to the great work of the Hip-O crew! Features a total of 155 tracks in all – with work by artists that include Eddie Holland, Mable John, The Valadiers, Twistin Kings, Sammy Ward, Debbie Dean, The Contours, Mary Wells, Joel Sebastian, Barrett Strong, The Miracles, Jimmy Ruffin, and many many more!  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
