I've read assertions before that 'sally' has a lesbian subtext [...saddest thing in the whole wide world - is to see your {girlfriend} with another girl], and also that 'david watts' is about the...
so am I right in thinking that the only cd issued featuring the original mono versions is this 'Ben' one from 2017?
Can I ask whether anyone here has mp3s of the cd mono versions of 'only 16' and...

can I improvise a bit? - "Doctor Gordy and his Bikini Machine"
This does look like an interesting set - thanks for finding it Calv. Apart from anything else, it seems to have the only known recording of Marv Johnson singing 'abraham, martin & john' from May...
Thanks for the info sup_fan. As it happens 'i can never recover' is the one i'm most interested in - is your hunch that it was recorded around the same time as the others apart from 'shoop'...
Hi
I'm presuming the booklet that came with 'let yourself go' has full recording details for all the tracks - would someone with a copy assist me by checking up on the finished recording dates for...
Oh, I did not know that - thanks. Those four tracks are the standout ones for me from the cd.
just what I wanted - thanks so much, Tom.
Hi
I wonder if anyone who has a physical copy of this cd can help me, as I only have a digital copy, so don't have the accompanying booklet. I'm looking to find out the recording dates of 4 of the...
In the desert where it is hot
Or in the North Pole where it's not.
I was saddened to hear of Katherine's death - am I right in thinking that just leaves Juanita Cowart and Ann Bogan as the Marvelettes who are still alive?
Also, are there any Marvelettes experts...
Thanks so much Drewschulz88 and Keith for your replies.
That's helped clarify things, tho' I think I'll have to read it three or four times over for it all to sink in. I never realised how...
Hi Keith
I'd find it really useful if you explained more about "clearance" - i've heard the term used many times in the context of getting releases out, but don't really know what it entails. I...
Newsflash - the motown tracks are now up on YouTube...for now. After a cursory listen, the standout track seems to be 'stop, look, listen', but no surprises there as Bell & Creed can do no wrong in...
I'm surprised there hasn't been a bit more interest in this on here. For the first time in what feels like a few years we have an entire cd's worth of previously unreleased Motown material [disc 22]...
I presume that, over the years, the vaults have been searched and searched, and that no evidence has been found that they ever recorded a studio version of 8DAW?
Due for release today. Has anybody found a site where you can hear sound clips yet? [disc 22 is the one with the previously unreleased Motown sessions].
George - if expanded editions is/are a bridge too far at the moment for whatever reasons, how feasable would it be to just release the 'Reflections' mono takes digitally?
No, there was one issued by EMI as well [[the Gladys Knight) - I have it in my collection.
TMG 1095 [a reissue of Gladys Knight & Pips help me make it/daddy could swear] was issued on both the blue label and old black label for some reason by EMI, and I think a couple of the blue label...
I agree with Sotosound that EMI probably thought the standard black label template was dated by 1976 - all the others had either morphed into the beige & red of the new EMI label, or the cream of...
On Stevie Wonder's Yesteryear "I call it pretty music", I got a copy recently which played part 2 on both sides [[the slow bluesy, virtually instrumental take), not the uptempo part 1 with first ...
My hunch is that it was plain and simple caution on Motown's part. With 'The Night', you had something that didn't really sound like anything that had come before, either for Motown or FV and the...
wow - you guys! I knew I could rely on you. Thanks for all the help.:)
