My apologies, it is entitled "Greatest Hits: From the Beginning". My memory is faulty I guess...

My apologies, it is entitled "Greatest Hits: From the Beginning". My memory is faulty I guess...
Anyway, here's a link to a Wikipedia article on the album. It is probably the least expensive way...
I *finally* have tracked down an original copy of "The Feeling Is So Fine" by the Miracles on Tamla.
It's my understanding that Gordy withdrew the record, electing to re-record the flip side "You...
Thanks Roger. I have a copy of "Money" on 78 so I was pretty well convinced of its existence.
What I'm more curious about are the supposed UA 78s. Unfortunately I can't find much info aside from...
Discogs is notoriously inaccurate. I don't believe they list the "Money" 78, but that's known to exist.
I've found what might be a label scan of "Come To Me" on 78.
Were "Come To Me" by Marv Johnson and "Merry-Go-Round" by Eddie Holland released on 78 by UA? I've seen a label scan of the Marv Johnson single, and have heard rumors of the Eddie Holland single...
The city is well on its way to coming back. Investment is up, the Woodward corridor straight out to Highland Park looks pretty decent. Cass is decent again. East Jefferson is nice clear out past...
It's hard to say. Some singles seem to be dropping in value [[I overpaid for my copy of Camel Walk by Saundra Mallet for instance), but others are commanding heathier prices than ever before [[Bad...
Alright, I've heard a lot of stories about the members of the Satintones, but this one is news to me. Care to elaborate more?
In this individual's defense, Berry wasn't exactly known for keeping...
Ugh. Popular music would be in a much better place if Ian Levine had gone into any other field. I have some tepid respect for his Motor City Records project though.
The Satintones sound wonderful...
The Satintones: they seem to be among the "red-headed step-children" of the early, some might say primordial, Motown era. Why? Beats the hell out of me.
That 1959-1962 period was an odd one at...
With an 18% premium for online bidders, I'm not surprised many of lots went for peanuts. There were a couple of singles I would have liked to help round out my copies of the '59 and '60 stuff, but...
Thanks for posting this. He was such an integral part of those early recordings. He's was a "Funk Brother" in my book, regardless of the official NARAS list.
Hello all,
As I had mentioned in an earlier thread, I sent two letters to an Mr. Wade Jones that I believe may in fact be the same Wade Jones that utilized Berry and Miss Ray's Rayber recording...
I've never cared for her screetching, err I mean, "singing" abilites, but this is a new low even for her...
That is terribly sad...
Thank you Mr. Hughes! That certainly explains quite a bit. I imagine the folks at Motown in '59 had neither the foresight nor the budget to keep safeties the way EMI did with the Beatles. Who could...
Hello all,
Does anyone know why the compilers of the The Complete Motown Singles Vol. 1 used dubs from 45s for so many of the tracks? The sound quality is kind of all over the place. I don't want...
That's him. I have his address. I may still send a letter just for the hell of it. I'm not expecting a response, and it may not even be the Wade Jones I'm looking for, but maybe I'll be pleasantly...
Are you sure you don't mean Eugene Remus is gone? I can't find any comment anywhere on the Motown Junkies site from Mr. Jones' granddaughter, much less anything saying he had passed. Nixon...
I went and checked my notes on the Wade Jones I found, and I'm pretty sure it's the same guy robb_k's contact found.
I was wrong in my earlier post, the Mr. Jones I found is living in senior...
That's what I got as well. It seems like a lot of the early folks just kind of disappeared into oblivion. Wade Jones is another early artist to seemingly disappear.
I tracked down Mr. Jones to a...
In no particular order:
Shop Around [[-A1 matrix version) by the Miracles
Going to a Go-Go by the Miracles
Snake Walk [[both parts) by the Swinging Tigers [[The Funk Bros)
Money by Barrett...
Does anyone here happen to have a photo of Eugene Remus, or even any additional information about his life, pre or post Motown? If my recollection is correct, he cut just the three sides for Motown...
I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but I can say that I hate "Cheap Thrills" by Sia slightly less than anything else released. Does that count? :rolleyes:
...
Nothing compares to Barrett Strong's original, but I must admit to having a soft spot for Richard Wylie's version [[Motown M-1009).
