Feature on French Motown EPs

[soulwally]

Current edition of the UK Record Collector mag has a feature plus top 75 rundown, based on the current price they are fetching, on French-issue Motown EPs.
It's nicely-done, as is everything in RC these days, with pix of the sleeves, track listings, valuations etc.
If anyone wasn't aware, EPs were very much the musical currency in France in the 60s, rather than singles. Therefore you got laminated picture sleeves, often looking quite different from their UK counterparts, and many of the EPs were France only.

Yes, and we Frenchmen are very proud of them !

I'd be curious to see the RC prices, here in France they don't sell for as much as they did in the past...

You can see most of these EP's [[and 45's, too) on this great site : http://www.45vinylvidivici.net/
