Hi THE BEST LP I HAVE IS BY LOU JOHNSON not on a MOTOWN related tune.ATB Stevie Z

Going way back, most of the Motown Big 16 albums were excellent. Tended to feature the lesser known tracks than the Chartbusters series.

I had a copy of that, leant it to a mate. Went round after a week to pick it up, no problems. Went down to the car, put it on the roof, set off, pulled up at the junction at the end of the road, it went flying off the roof and under another car.

Thank god it isn't that rare. not that I've ever bothered looking for another

the silver cover one.....cant find it...........Chartbusters 3?......used to dance around the front room to it.....

Check this one out:

Motown 630 - Various Artists - Nothing But a Man - Soundtrack to an obscure film from 1964/5 it has THREE unknown Northern Soul dancers by the MIracles, Marvelettes and Martha & The Vandellas that were never ever issued in any other format. They all stormers.. just waiting for the right DJ. The LP is rare but well worth the hunt and hardly anyone knows about it. The Vandellas track is particually sensational..

Chartbusters vol 3 for me to

Steve

The one with the blue cover, is it Volume 8. Anyway it has Its So Hard Being A Loser by the Contours on it. Saw it in Manchester a few weeks ago for £30 in poor condition. Love the Contours track. I have it on Gordy and English. What is it worth and does it get played? It was spun regularly at the Wheel.

IT`S GOTTA BE (on U.K. TAMLA MOTOWN)....

Saw the thread & was going to champion the same !!! worth it just for the "Fantastic Four" track !!!

As a kid, my two friends Conway and Caroline said to me buy

Big Wheels of Motown

You'll love it.

I did, and I still do.
