Motown 7s Box

[mysterysinger]

On Amazon UK yesterday was the merest hint of a Motown 7s box volume 3 vinyl set. I think it has been removed today. But does anyone have any details on such a set?

Mysterysinger, the entry is still there, but is marked as currently unavailable.

However towards the bottom of the listing it states:

Vinyl [[23 Sept. 2016)
Number of Discs: 7
Format: Box set
Label: Commercial Marketing
ASIN: B01H2UZOSS

So it looks like it may be coming out in or around 23 September. Let's wait and see!

"It's Not Unusual" seems an unusual choice.

"It's Not Unusual" seems an unusual choice.

It's very popular and I can understand why they might use that one.

Thanks for that tip off

[mr soul]

Now £49.99 oh well.

[theboyfromxtown]

That must be because of the change in cover........or hadn't you noticed!

1st version

Deuxieme

Deuxieme

My press release came today with a different one altogether - guess there will either be several versions or they are still tinkering with the artwork. Different boxes would make 'some people' have to have them all

must be some problem with the picture of Al Kent,he is the only artist not pictured on the poster and has been removed from the second version of the box set cover.

[mr soul]

Now put back to 22nd October 2016. Presumably whilst they find a better picture of Al Kent.

[mysterysinger]

I ordered when the price was really low - not sure why since I don't collect vinyl these days. Sadly, I couldn't resist at that price [[I could always cancel before October, I guess if the mood takes me).

[mr soul]

Price now up to £54.99!

[mysterysinger]

Goodness will folks buy at that price?

[mysterysinger]

Well mine arrived this morning and thanks to the tip offs from this Forum I managed to secure it at £24.99. I see the price is now £54.99 so Motown Forum saved me £30.00. Thank you Ralph and co.
