Mary Wells on I-tunes

[jboy88]

Being from a younger generation then most on the forum, this maybe a good news/bad news sort of thing. But anyways, Virtually all of Mary Wells's Motown recordings are now available on I-tunes including a deluxe edition of the duet album with Marvin Gaye. Best of all, Bye, Bye Baby and "Sing My Guy" albums have been mastered for I-tunes for superior quality.
In fact several classic Motown albums not available readily on CD, have been on I-tunes for some time. But I thought some Mary Wells fans would appreciate the info.

Yes, there have been mentions in several threads about various Motown recordings - not only Mary Wells - being made available for download only. And [[thankfully) not only on iTunes - buyers in Europe can get them in cd-quality audio [[16 bit, 44.1 kHz).

Mary Wells Recorded Live On Stage recently made its digital debut without [[as far as I'm aware) any announcement:

And these may well be remasters, since they have a sound recording copyright of 2014: "[[P) 2014 Motown Records, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc."

It would be great if Universal - Classic Motown, or whoever - would announce these and give us some information [[eg remaster or not) as they're released! They might even sell more if they did.

And how about this one from Rhino Atlantic, in cd quality or even hi-rez:

I'm happy with these downloads as long as we get them in cd-quality audio.

I added in another thread that her Jubilee album from 1968, Serving Up Some Soul is also available.

And here's "Together" with bonus tracks, mentioned above:

I couldn't access that link for some reason, but I did find the album listed with its expanded tracks on iTunes:

I think several of the bonus tracks have been released elsewhere, a few on the Mary Wells "Lost and Found," not sure about all of them however.

Perhaps Qobuz blocks this if you're in a country other than those from which the title can be purchased? The track list is the same as on iTunes.

Calvin - I think you are probably correct.

I checked the track listing and all 7 bonus tracks do appear on the "Lost and Found" Mary Wells edition. I'm glad about that. The only download I've bought so far is the "Funny Girl," as I felt it was just too good to pass up, but like many of us I prefer the physical CD releases.
