Motown Classics, Volume 1

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Despite best efforts, it has been impossible to turn up any indication that this title exists with this track listing (other than as the other release in this group).

See notes on my merge that put these five "volumes" (yes, that release title should only read "Motown Classics" by now, the 5 volumes are the 5 discs) together. Please shed light if you can!
