Does anyone have any facts about which Tamla Motown LP was pressed in the least numbers, excluding the Martin Luther King release. My reason for asking is that after a discussion with a long standing dealer, we both agreed that `The Temptations Sing Smokey` TML11016 is rarely seen for sale for example.

Had a discussion today with my mate Mick and he is saying one of the rarest LP's to have on Motown has a photo of the 'Motown House' (his words) on the cover, I'm presuming the Hitsville USA house? Anyway I cannot find a Motown (UK or otherwise) LP with this sort of cover??? Is there one in existence?

Is it Motown Memories Volume 2 ? When i used to collect Motown albums vol 2 was always a lot harder to find than vol 1. It had Barbara McNair's "You're gonna love my baby" on it.  Hard to find but not one of the rarest.

Yes I think that is the one he is on about, there is a row of houses on the cover. Someone in an earlier post said it's 'West Grand Bld'.

In my collection.

Well that's what I thought but my mate Mick thinks it is 😎

Motown Memories 2 has "theres a ghost in my house" but yet it didn't go big until played at the Mecca on the 45 single. It could have been massive years before 🙂 

What about the Edwin Starr.  War and Peace LP,  don't see many of these knocking about
