Thanks again! You know what I mean, though. Everyone talks about Motown, Stax, and Atlantic, but the many other companies...very obscure info.

I guess i'll look for their books instead. Thank you both.
Now i'd like to get my hands on the multitrack.
Thanks. In other words, they didn't know how to run a record company.
I just wish someone would write a book or do a doc on it all before more survivors pass on.
While i'm at it, i'd like to...
Wow! I didn't know he still liked being in the studio. Could he have done like Herb Alpert did, turn over executive duties to others and carry on with the creative things?
Regarding Invictus/Hot Wax, what do you think brought the company down after such a short time? HDH had such potential. In 1971 they seemed unstoppable. Not too much has been written about the...
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. It worked for Gamble & Huff and The Isley Brothers. Clive Davis may not have known much about R&B, but he was wise enough to sign them to the label.
According to Mick Jones, leader of the band Foreigner, Mr. DeWalt as wasting time playing disco in small clubs when he recruited him to solo on their hit "Urgent" in 1981. Jones had to guide him to...
At his core, Jim Stewart was just a good-natured country fiddler who loved music. He didn't have any business acumen and was no match for the slick lawyers at Atlantic. It wasn't until after they...
I totally agree! But I think it could have been saved. They just needed a vision.
In 1987, Jheryl Busby took over the company after the sale to MCA, and at least tried to update the company. ...
I can't quite blame it on the change in the music business because Gamble & Huff at Philadelphia International used the same assembly line model, and Solar Records did after that, and Clarence Avant...
Thanks to SoulfulMissT for posting here. I started a thread but didn't see that this one existed.
Anyway, it's a great set made from fresh transfers, and it sounds like it. I mainly bought...
I'm not sure where to post this, but...if there's already an existing thread about this, disregard.

I was born in 1962. The very first Motown 45 I ever bought with my own money was probably "Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Do Da-Day" by Stevie Wonder.
See, back in the late 60s and early 70s, department, drug,...
I can't think of a single one. If I like the songs/artist, they must be represented in my collection.
The last one I bought? "The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland" Expanded Edition.
In the last year, i've acquired top-notch comprehensive singles collections by Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5.
I saw this on NBC news Thursday. R.I.P. Rudolph.
mysterysinger answered a lot above.
Remember that, before 1986, there were no CD plants here in the U.S. The CBS plant in Terre Haute was the first, and it opened in 1986. Before then, the only...
I
m gonna wait until someone's actually heard the set. Rhino f-up the last album collection so i'm iffy if this set repeats all the mistakes that one did.
Interesting. In an interview she did a couple of years ago that's up on YouTube, she says that she officially broke with Rufus in 1978, but kept recording with them out of guilt. I personally think...
Heh! I haven't actually read the thread yet,m and am interested in what Bob Olhsson says, but Motown didn't have eight-track until the end of 1964. Before then, it was three-track. I would hazard...
This is just another reason why I don't use streaming services for my music. And, besides, anytime I would see a new single by Phyllis Hyman, I would know something was up. She's been dead for a...
Yeah, Most producers don't like to have mistakes pointed out. Most are pretty thin-skinned.
See, I do have the Livewire CD set, and I realized that I also have the TCMS Vol. 6, hence my question...
Maybe everyone's scared of making any negative comments.
I just acquired the 2013 singles collection of Martha Reeves & The Vandellas Complete Singles Collection 1961-1969.
On that set, the song "Never Leave Your Baby's Side" has a different intro than...
