Berry Gordy Jr. founded the now legendary Motown Records in January 1959 with
an $800 Dollar loan from his family. He went on to create one of the most
successful record labels in music history, introducing the world to the musical
talents of Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, The
Temptations, Mary Wells, The Supremes, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas to
mention but a few. Gathered together here on this stunning deluxe collector's
12" vinyl edition are 16 slices of raucous Rhythm & Blues that showcase
the foundations of what went on to become the 'Motown Sound'. This Mark Lamarr
compiled collection covers the period between 1959 and 1962 and features 45s
originally released on Motown and sister labels Tamla, Miracle and MEL-O-DY.
