Motown 50th Anniversary

Profile

Used to issue a series of releases to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Motown Record Company, founded in 1959 by Berry Gordy. The branding included the release of a series of Limited Edition, Numbered 7-inch singles using reproduction 1959 "Tamla" labels and "Penny Farthing" sleeves - however, many tracks were actually recorded some time later, and either never originally released on the Tamla label, or never released with the original sleeve/label design as used in the series.
