50 Years of Motown
Submitted by Richard Dewick on Mon, 12/01/2009 - 11:44.
Today marks 50 years of the iconic record label MOTOWN, bringing us such greats as Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and the list goes on.
My favourite music blog has a couple of classic clips of two Motown greats but I thought I would pick out some record sleeves that caught my eye stylistically.
Some great photography mixed in with nice typography means these album sleeves stand the test of time. You can't beat owning a bit of vinyl, shame I don't have a record player to play them on!

Motown music
I grew up listening to Motown so it will always have a special place in my heart. It's tough to believe that it has already been 50 years.
Luv Mo Town especially
