Back in 1961, the big jukebox makers were pushing all record labels to release 7" jukebox singles that played at 33+rpm .... most / many of these being linked to an artists latest LP release, containing 4 tracks off that LP and put out in a picture card cover.
The ad is from 1961 and shows at least 40 labels were going with the trend back then. BUT this was too early for Motown to get involved.
My question is ... did Motown ever follow this practise and put out any of these 7" 33rpm singles ???
I'd guess the likes of Marv Johnson would have had a couple of such releases but they would have come about during his tenure with UA up to 1963 ...Attachment 11410
