Description
THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO PART WITH SOME OF MY MANY AND VARIED RECORD COLLECTIONS. THIS TIME IT IS TAMLA MOTOWN. THE COLLECTION ORIGINALLY STARTED WITH THE TMG 501 SERIES.HOWEVER WHEN I TURNED MY ATTENTION TO THE 73 PRE-TMG UK ISSUESMY HEART AND WALLET SUNK. IN MINT CONDITION WE ARE LOOKING AT AROUND £8500 FAR TO RICH FOR ME.HOWEVER WHEN I LOOKED AT OBTAINING THE ORIGINAL USA ISSUES THE COST DRAMATICALY REDUCED TO AROUND £1383. SO I TOOK THE PLUNGE AND STARTED TO SLOWLY ADD THEM TO MY COLLECTION. THIS WAS ACHEIVED OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS AND INVOLVED BUYING A NUMBER OF JOB LOTS WHICH ALSO INCLUDED SEVERAL USA ISSUES OF THE TMG 501-600 SERIES WHICH ENABLED ME TO FILL IN SOME GAPS IN THAT SERIES. IT IS THIS GROUP OF SOME 60 ORIGINAL USA RECORDS THAT I AM NOW PUTTING UP FOR AUCTION INDIVIDUALY. I HAVE PLAYED ALL OF THESE RECORDS OVER THE YEARS FOR MY OWN PLEASURE AND HAVE JUST PLAY-TESTED THEM PRIOR TO AUCTION. IRESPECTIVE OF THE VISUAL VINYL GRADE THAT I WILL GIVE THEM THEY ALL PLAYED REALY WELL WITH LITTLE OR NO HISS OR SURFACE NOISE. NONE JUMPED, STUCK OR SKIPPED. MY NEXT LOT UP FOR AUCTION AFTER THIS GROUP WILL INCLUDE MANY USA TAMLA, GORDY, MOTOWN, SOUL, VIP ETC 45s THAT I BOTH PURCHASED FROM THE STATES AND ALSO INHERITED FROM MY LATE SISTER WHO MARRIED AND LIVED IN THE USA FOR ALL OF HER MARRIED LIFE. SO ADD ME TO YOUR FAVOURITE SELLERS LIST IF MOTOWN IS YOUR THING. I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE RECORDS TO REDUCE THE POSTAGE COST. ONE OF THE RAREST USA TAMLA/ MOTOWN/GORDY ETC RECORDS AND HARD TO FIND. THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST RELEASE BY BERRY GORDY ON ONE OF HIS OWN LABELS. MARV JOHNSON ON TAMLA LABEL CAT# 101 WITH COME TO ME" AND "WHISPER" VG CONDITION WOL (SEE SCAN) UK RELEASE ON LONDON HLT8856
