Is this the set that includes The Marvelettes - Finders Keepers?

If so then that single alone I've seen being sold at more than £50

No Brian , the only Marvelettes single is - Please Mr. Postman/When your Young and in Love

This is the second box set they did - the "in demand" record in here is Chris Clark - Do I Love You, backed with the Frank Wilson Alternate take (from Motown CD mid 90's)

Until recently the FW/CC was normal price - seems that in itself is actually selling for £30-£50 nowadays (at least on eBay it is)

The Marvelettes / Kim Weston 45 was a freebie in an earlier box set and wasn't actually listed as part of the box set if I remember correctly. I got the freebie single for nothing at the time as my local record shop in Prestatyn didn't sell it as a box set but as individual 45's and as the Marvelettes / Kim Weston was a freebie, they kind lady who run the shop gave me it for nothing, when I bought the Temptations version of "To busy thinking about my baby", which had previously been un-issued as a 45, it was the B side of "MY Girl" in the box set and came in a card picture sleeve as did the others in the set. I didn't pick any of the others up from the set as the were all just the general re-issues of other classic material.

Which Box Set was the Temptations in? - I have that single, just didn't realise it was from a set.
