Please note: This is a Series - not a Record Label Please include the correct label as on release. The Yesteryear series was a "double A side" hits series that recoupled two hit A sides on one record. The series began in January 1973 with 83 newly recoupled singles and continued issuing new releases through the 1988, when MCA Records bought Motown. After the MCA purchase, several previously released singles were repressed or reissued with slightly new catalog numbers, but no new singles were issued. The first single issued on the series was - Y 400F. This catalog number pattern - Y ###F - continued until 1988 when Motown was bought by MCA Records. Afterwards, the catalog number pattern was "YES-###" or "MOT-###", using the same numerical portion as the previously issued Y ###F catalog numbers. The last single issued was - Y 694F.
