ok - not really an actual lost or unreleased album. but certainly a lost opportunity. while motown was focusing on the Supremes, the Marvelettes still made some strong recordings. Everyone focuses on the "relaunch" of the girls with Smokey and Don't Mess With Bill. And they always seem to divide the Marvelettes story into the Gladys/Postman era and the Wanda/Dont Mess era. Both of those eras are great. But i think they had a great middle period too. less silly girl group and more r&b. lots of brass and horns to their tracks, a bit more aggressive of a sound.
Too Many Fish in the Sea is one of my all time fav motown songs!
it's a shame that once Martha and then the Sups got hits, the company really dropped the ball with the Marvelettes. was thinking they could have released an album after Danger was released.
