The Marvelettes - Smash Hits Of '62 (1962)
You will also notice that the titles are arranged differently for each cover.I was talking to an ex Motown employee in Flint,Mi in 1986 and some interesting information came forward.After a full page ad in Cashbox magazine for this LP,is was noticed that the apostrophy after 62 was on the wrong side.The cover was pulled and not shipped and the labels were cancelled.In their haste to cash in on the Marvelettes popularity,a second cover was hurriedly printed,but spelt their name wrong.By this time,their popularity had waned.,Motown tried again with a 3rd issue,but all was to no avail,the record didn't sell and didn't chart in the top 200 and many boxes were returned to Motown and destroyed.They are now almost impossible to find.The cheap CD is only good for a frisbee
