Starting in January 1982, the numbering for all the active Motown labels was consolidated under one
system. All releases on Tamla, Motown and Gordy (TMG=Tamla/Motown/Gordy or "The Motown
Group") used the same 6000 numbering system with a two letter designation after the number indicating
the label, TL was Tamla, ML was Motown and GL was Gordy. In addition to these, there was Latino
designated by LL. Morocco (MOtown ROCk COmpany) designated by CL, Motown Compact Disc
designated by MD, Tamla Compact Disc designated by TD and Motown Cassette Tape designated by
MC.
