Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Hopefully those early albums (assuming Mary Wells and possibly 2. The Marvlettes- Please, Mr Postman) are in mono for all of y’all. Looking at Discogs, those real early Motown records go for a pretty penny.

I think you’re right on at least 7. I think number 6 could be a couple albums. I threw out Gloria Jones’s only Motown album, Share My Love. She sang back up for T Rex and was heavily involved with Marc Bolan. She was actually, unfortunately, the person driving the car that tragically killed him. The album is quite good though, and she’s got a hell of a voice. Probably best known for recording “Tainted Love”.

The Erykah Badu album is definitely not an all analog record. VMP should be clear about that.

That’ll get you to $200 pretty quick but I think the other five will probably cost you at the very most $80. Looks like you aren’t getting under budget regardless. :rolleyes:
