No Documentary this Sunday as the start of a Mammoth collection of 25 volumes Of the Tamla Label which will be posted over the next week.Tamla Records was started on January 12, 1959 by Berry Gordy Jr. using $800 borrowed from his family’s loan fund. He originally wanted to name the label “Tammy”, after the Debbie Reynolds film, but that name was already taken. Later that year, he started his second label, Motown, which became Tamla’s parent label and the cornerstone of Gordy’s musical empire. Motown and all associated labels, including Tamla, were sold to MCA Records and Boston Ventures in June 1988, which then sold it to PolyGram in 1993. During the PolyGram era and after 10 years in dormancy, Tamla was reactivated in late 1996 under the presidency of Andre Harrell with the intention of becoming a reggae imprint, but was then immediately retired after Harrell was relieved of his position in 1997. Tamla (hereby referred to at this point as Tamla Recordings) was the only classic Motown imprint ever to be reactivated since 1986, As of the acquisition of PolyGram in 1999, Motown and all its properties are now part of the Universal Music Group. This collection is from the guys who also painstakenly gave us the SOUL,VIP,MOWEST, & GORDY Singles Collections.Another incredible amount of work went into this,i know as i do it all the time and know the effort and work & hours involved in these ventures.

Hi AMM, Many thanks for this collection
Hi AMM - what's the difference between this set and the set I have "The Complete Motown Singles 1959-1972 Vol's 1-12 (Motown HIP-O-SELECT) (2005-2013)"
I checked out Vol 1 Disc 1 against my set and ..... maybe 3 tracks?
Best to know before asking for them all when I've got 'em, just in another format (FLAC too)
