Still seems to be #3 on that R & B Chart!

Unfortunately, yes, I think they do value it less.

Send a link to that if you can

I'd still take a physical over download for artists I've enjoyed for a long time

I hope they do farm this out somewhere for a physical release and I hope they do that for others

That's an excellent way of dealing with it.

I saw part of the American Music Awards and it made me realize how old our crowd is.

If they want to maximize sales, they need to come up with...

George Solomon posted on Facebook that they have not given up on getting physical releases yet.

You have a point.

Perhaps they hope that someone will make a CD for the grandmothers and grandfathers and print up the booklet for them. And they hope there are committed faithful and new lovers...

Anyways, it will be great to hear these new versions! Something new!

It would have annoyed me too to have my fan book ignored. I never understood that before or forgot

Randy seemed to drop the sensationalist bullshit the second time around; he dropped questionable sales information which would need to be updated anyway; and he dropped a lot of hearsay which is...

It does seem like there is a little bit of a lack of imagination.

I guess but he pretty obviously was also a fan. And he redid his book to turn it into the ultimate biography of Diana. I suppose that it is true that he aggravated some people.

They ARE making choices and it doesn't always...

Re: Patty Duke: Is it because it was released on a small label given away to them for pennies?

I don't know Randy. His public persona comes off as reserved and a little...

One further thought ~ for me, if it is a favorite from the 60's, particularly Anybody Motown, I just prefer to have it and be able to listen period.............rather than have nothing at all.

I got a ripped CD of Baby It's Me as a present last year ~ a legitimate one that was paid for. The booklet is printed and it's printed on nice paper. But you can't put the booklet in a jewel case...

Great cover! You should be hired!

I agree with what Carlo and Calvin write, particularly, if the albums sold, they'd be out there. If they sold in CD format, they'd be out there; if they sold in vinyl, they'd be out there. But...

Excellent Carlo. My fear as well. I said exactly that about the Mototown Revue - "don't we already have that?"

One line I have often heard is that for the most part, Motown didn't match the sales...

I forgot I had BIM as well.

I would prefer a physical cd.

But I've followed billboard too long to think vinyl is more than a niche market and that CDs haven't declined.

I got a new truck in...

Getting old and crotchety but he fits in with many motown fans and artists and he made a living off motown
