Hello and Welcome. Beginning in the 1960s, I made it my goal to collect every 5-star record still available, and I continued my search for 40 years. While not all the records I list for sale reached that lofty goal, they do represent an undying search for the unique and wonderful in the world of sound. I'm happy to be able to offer them to you now. Here is what you're bidding on: 
TITLE/ARTIST: "The Motown Story: The First Decade" by Various Artists on the Motown Records label (MS 5-726) in vintage original stereo high fidelity sound, recorded in the '60's and released on this record in 1970. 
CONDITION OF VINYL: Near Mint(Vinyl is shiny and clear; NOTE: this set was played only one time so that I could record it - visually graded using special daylight balanced spotlight). CONDITION OF JACKET: Excellent(Box is remarkably beautiful, but has some very light corner wear, a scuff on the front and a crease near top right corner - please see photos of actual album offered). 
SPECIAL FEATURES: Very rare Five-LP vinyl release of "The Motown Story" that includes "58 golden hits that made Motown History" PLUS "Live in-person interviews with the artists that recorded them". This is the most beautiful version of this great collection that I've ever seen. The sound is uniformly excellent. These are NOT audience recordings; they are the real deal. The back cover lists all songs and the interviews. SPECIAL NOTE: This is a "one-owner" box set, and I know because I'm that one.
