AudioMidi.com is currently blowing out the Nomad Factory Motown Retro Bundle for only $20. The bundle consists of emulations of the two equalizers that were used on many of Motown's biggest hits. I can't say how faithful they are to the originals but at $20 it's definitely worth getting.
RETRO MUSIC-TONE
The Retro Music-Tone is a 7-band passive equalizer plug-in emulation of the hardware version used exclusively by Motown engineers.
Like in the original hardware units, we have recreated the proportional Q which means that there is no adjustable Q bandwidth : small boost/cuts have a very broad Q and greater boost/cuts have a narrower one. You just have to adjust the gain of each fixed frequencies (from -8dB to +8dB) according to taste and the resulting tonal color

RETRO FILM-TONE
Like his brother above, the Retro Film-Tone is a 7-band passive equalizer with fixed frequencies and Proportional Q emulation of the hardware version used exclusively by Motown engineers. As you can see, the overlaping frequencies make it possible to use both plugins together on the same track / bus so that it gives you a total of 14 bands.
