Over the years, I've seen a lot of amazing picture sleeves and EP sleeves for various Motown artists from around the world. A great many of them would have made for excellent album covers. In fact, it seems these 45 and EP sleeves were more creative graphic-wise than the standard album covers. Here are a few of those as well as some album covers from around the world.
Wow! Thank you for sharing these images!
Very nice pictures. Thank you!

you're welcome, Mark! I have some others that I'll post soon and hopefully others will share their favorite Tamla Motown picture sleeves/LP covers.Quote:

I use to think that too until I learned otherwise. The U.S. really received picture sleeves for the singles. The reason? Too expensive to produce for such a large market. So we got either the plain white sleeves or the ones with pictures of current and upcoming Motown releases.Quote:
