Yes, another in this series, with The Motown 7s Vinyl Box Volume 4 landing at the end of the month.

Compiled by BBC radio DJ and journalist Richard Searling, the artists featured include David Ruffin, The Spinners, The Contours, Bobby Taylor, Thelma Houston, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Shorty Long, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

Like previous releases, Volume 4 includes a selection of singles, which have never before been released on 7-inch vinyl, including Brenda Holloway’s ‘Can’t Hold The Feelin’ Back’, which is a first time as a ‘physical’ release anywhere.

Tracks all listed below and if you want one, expect to pay around £45.
