Resurrecting an old post here... My Grandfather (who just recently passed at the grand age of 95), worked at a candy & tobacco store back in the 1950s-70s, on the east coast here, and Topps was one of their vendors. While going through a bunch of records and other "stuff" a few years ago, I stumbled across this set of 16 Motown Topps Paper Records, all in the original sleeves. I asked him about it and he said that every week another one was available, he would bring the new one home to my mother who was/is a fan of these artists. Great visual/audible piece of history.... these actually sound really good using a larger light tracking spherical stylus. Just thought I'd share this for any Motown fans on the forum :)

Great photos, dd Your Grandfather save the box they came in?

 

Dave

as time passes some of the articles format/layout on here needs updating due to changes in the site system

as such have just 'improved' the original article so the images show better :thumbsup:

 

they all look amazing, what a great find for you

Brilliant article as are all Dave's pieces but the grim trainspotter in me just has to point out that the Supremes pic with Flo in the centre is actually Cindy Birdsong. Sorry Dave. ?

Unfortunately no original box.... these were found in the back of a record case that had a bunch of other Motown & Tamla records. They were in fantastic condition, and included one of my now favorite Tammi Terrell 45s.. "Come On And See Me".
