HALL OF 45 RPM : 
THE USA 7'' REISSUES

In a period from the late 70s up to the first half of the 80's, Epic records launched in the US market several 7'' series of reissues. The reissues involving Jackson 5 classic tracks, Jacksons singles and Michael's solo hits are : the "HALL OF FAME", the "INSTANT CLASSICS", the "MEMORY LANE" and the "COLLECTABLES" (the latter one is the only one to contain in its "catalogue" Jackson 5's hits - and it's not a properly Epic production, as it has a different but officially licensed distribution from several record companies, including Epic/Cbs and Motown).
Each collection have its identifiable label matching with the company sleeve, as it was originally released, even though it is often easier to find them with the wrong covers.
A brief list of the Michael Jackson's releases through these series:
- INSTANT CLASSICS (with classic "Epic" blue sleeve) : "The girl is mine"(with gold "Epic" label),"Billie Jean", "Beat it","Wanna be startin'somethin'" (with gold Epic label), "P.Y.T." (with gold Epic label).
- HALL OF FAME (with Epic "Hall of fame" grey sleeve) : "Don't stop til you get enough","Rock with you", "She's out of my life", "State of shock"
- MEMORY LANE (Epic blue/yellow "flower" sleeve) : "Don't stop til you get enough", "She's out of my life"
