Creative video that's kinda like a commercial for some of their recordings. Together is one of my all-time favorite Motown albums, but the liner notes didn't indicate what musicians were involved. For example, there's a male group backing Mary & Marvin on Together. Are they the Love Tones, the Four Tops or whoever?

According to Wikipedia, backing vocals on the album were done by the Andantes and the Love Tones.

I know this LP was released on CD many yeas ago. Has it ever been remastered and rereleasd?

Additionally, have any "unreleased" tracks from Mary and Marvin appeared in Motown compilations in recent years?

Yes, Together has been remastered and reissued several times. When the album was first released, it was released in mono. Sometime in 1966-,the Columbia Records Club issued a stereo version from a stereo mx. When Motown had it's first big reissue campaign in the early 1980s, TOGETHER WAS issued in stereo on vinyl. A CD version soon followed in the late 1980s or 1990s. These reissues have a white frame or border around the picture. Universal Japan has issued a limited edition, digital version in stereo. There have been several unreleased tracks - first, three tracks [[You Can Dance, All I Got, I'm Yours, You"re Mine) on the Marvin Gaye Collection box set and most recently, eight tracks on Mary Wells: Something New- Motown Lost and Found. I think that makes 17 tracks in all by Marvin and Mary.

It says Together is unavailable, but EBAY sellers have offered digital versions from China for as low as &10.00 and up. If you are a Motown fan and you don't have it, it is one early Motown album I'd recommend.
