These were sent out ONLY to party invitees, who were senior Company people or influential media people. The record itself plays the classic 'Love Child' with a voiceover by Ken East, new Managing Director of EMI, inviting the recipient to the reception. The label is a unique design & has the name of the recipient hand written in chinagraph pencil on a dotted line. Needless to say, very few were produced & of those, very few survive. In this spectacular condition, with just a few light cosmetic surface scuffs, it may well be unique. Stored safely in the extensive archive of the recipient for over forty years, this is a spectacular item & a crown jewel for both Supremes & Motown fans! PSRS319) more...
