Motown Releases in 2017

Ah, thanks calvin. Great info. And I agree. I wish they would digitally release all Motown albums by acts like Junior Walker, The Undisputed Truth and The Originals. Not to mention Willie Hutch, G.C. Cameron and High Inergy. It would be really great... proper, digitally-remastered stereo versions of some brilliant songs. Do you think Universal will restart doing this?

Yes it would be great if they started again, there are still several albums which have never been released digitally. From the artists you mention, plus others like Choker Campbell, God Squad featuring Leonard Caston, Stoney & Meatloaf, etc. We've also never had official digital releases of The Great Gospel Stars and Twistin' Kings albums, only the vinyl rips from Hallmark after the albums went into the public domain. I'd also buy downloads of those if I could.

I have no idea why they stopped the downloads [[poor sales?) and no idea if they might start again. But I don't think there were any such new releases last year, so I'd say it doesn't look good.
