Example of this is that one of these recordings, listed as "Kmart 1973 Reel To Reel" has an address of 3020 East Grand Blvd in Detroit. Motown's original studio was on West Grand Blvd. It's intriguing to consider who the voice talent was, and what if any crossover there was during those days.
Googling the address shows that the former recording studio is now a residence.
>> "This is a 2 bed 1 bath 1700 sq. ft., Mid Century concrete block building which was purposed as a recording studio, called the Danny Dallas Studio and also Special Recordings."
>> "Situated a mere thirty yards along the road from D Town's office, these studios were used frequently by the legendary Producer, Richard Popcorn Wylie."
Special Recordings is on there with the address. It's a bit early in the morning for any more in-depth research, but now I'm very curious about the possible intersections of Detroit legends and K-Mart background music recordings.
