Quality Motown Recordings

Remember the main format that Motown was recorded on was vinyl. Check your used record store for Motown vinyl and invest into a solid record cleaner like the VPI 16.5 to clean up those records. Motown on vinyl will reveal all the dynamics you’re seeking. Enjoy!

Abbey Roads Records put out a half Speed recording of  What's Goin On by Marvin Gaye that sounds damn good. 

Etta James "At Last" That one was re-issued on CD many times, but original stereo record on Argo will be in high 3-digit buck for clean copy.
2014 Japanese CD re-issue is also very high buck now.
80's re-issues on Chess and MCA are okay, but still worth purchasing due to the music quality.

YES, totally worth searching.


There is an ocean of amazing LPs’
i hit the local and town over used shops, in the cheapo,bins, you will be surprised at the great music for inexpensive prices in those,bins, many I find look unused, jackets may have some wear, the vinyls’,...many look unplayed. !

I hit goodwill 2X/month min for used LP’s and CDs. Some terrific finds!
But,...lots of garbage also.

I did find the partridge family box, which sells for quite a lot of money there, records all NM, jackets all,ok, outer box is a,mess, but still offered a lot for it. Picked up mine for 7$ years back, I freaked at Discogs, at the prices for this box set.
Not a fan of their music, but the value of it shocked me.

Found 4 Elvis lp’s , new and sealed, they remain sealed to this day.
CD player for 5$, speaker pair for 30$- oldmAdvent paor,mstill,sound great!

Hit goodwill if close, many good finds to be had!

enjoy the hunt!
