Motown Rarest Of The Rare 45's
Here they are- the real genuine rarities from the Motown stable of labels.
I've kept to the vinyl only 45 rpm releases and omitted all acetates.
Please note that quite a few of these super rarities are down to the release number or different label to the regular release, so check carefully before you think you've struck gold in your collection!
