OUR MOTOWN CD/Download WANT LISTS FOR HARRY

I've noticed that the various Motown fans' CD/Download want lists are kind of scattered throughout a number of links on the Motown Forum.

Thanks, Gary. I tend to be an instant-gratification buyer, so e-commerce is usually not for me; however, for these, I'd gladly make an exception!
My dream is to see my wishlist remastered for iTunes, though; I have no problem not having physical product. Thanks again!

2-fer CD of Fifth Dimension - Star Dancing / High On Sunshine [[1978)

I never really understood, how such a high-profile act of the late 60s-early 70s, were essentially all but dropped-potato obscured after that, whether the evident non-promotion of those two later albums, or the non-existence of CDs for them, nor any tracks from them inclusion in Fifth Dimension "Greatest Hits" compilations.

[calvin]

Gary, I would buy almost every title listed in your initial post. But my top requests would be:

All the Jr Walker & The All Stars / Jr Walker albums which haven't already been released on cd [[which is most of them!). Gary, did you forget "What Does It Take To Win Your Love" [[1969) and "Jr Walker and The All Stars" [[1974)?

The Undisputed Truth - all the titles you list
The Originals - all the titles you list
"Four Tops On Broadway", and the Four Tops' albums on ABC Dunhill [[not Motown, but now under Universal)
Jimmy Ruffin - The Groove Governor
Choker Campbell - Hits of the Sixties
The Miracles - "Don't Cha Love It" and "The Power of Music"

[rovereab]

Downloads of the mono versions of albums from the golden era that will never make it to deluxe/expanded sets.

[justanothermotownfan]

wow, great lists. I would love all of the Workshop Jazz sessions, Tamla Motown Festival Tokyo 1968 [[Stevie & The Vandellas), Undisputed Truth, Jr. Walker [[70's), Originals, and the mono albums like rovereab said. Oh, and definitely the Rare Earth albums.

Wings of Love by The Temptations is currently available on iTunes.

Thanks, johnny_raven. Yeah, The Blackberries. [["Rasberries"! Just another senior moment here! Eric Carmen's group sure weren't Motown, were they!)

SAN REMO GOLDEN STRINGS - Hungry For Love [[Gordy)
SAN REMO GOLDEN STRINGS - Swing [[Gordy)

[Philles/Motown Gary]

Hey Calvin, I didn't forget about Jr.'s "What Does It Take". Here in the U.S., the album/CD was released under the title "Gotta Hold On To This Feeling". Here's the track list [alphabetized from my [[WordPerfect) Motown CD playlist]:

- Ame Cherie [[Soul Darling) - 1/4
- Cleo’s Mood - 1/6
- Clinging To The Thought That She’s Coming Back - 1/5
- Gotta Hold On To This Feeling - 1/10
- Hot Cha - 1/7
- How Sweet It Is - 1/11
- I’ve Got To Find A Way To Win Maria Back - 1/8
- Proud Mary - 1/3
- San Jose - 1/12
- Sweet Soul - 1/9
- These Eyes - 1/2
- What Does It Take [[To Win Your Love) - 1/1


The only 1974 release we got from Jr. Walker was his "Anthology" LP. "What Does It Take" and "Jr. Walker & The All Stars" must have been retitled versions for the U.K.

I even looked up the above in my Heat Wave: The Motown Fact Book [[Motown's complete discography) just to be sure, but the two titles you mentioned were not original releases.

eBay does have a CD titled "What Does It Take", although a quick glance at the track list looked like it was a rehash-of-hits collection.

[ejluther]

Another hearty vote for:
THE UNDISPUTED TRUTH
The Undisputed Truth
[[Face To Face With The Truth is already on CD)
Law Of The Land
Down To Earth

As for FACE TO FACE, it needs a reissue because the CD of it is long out of print and the asking price is too rich for my blood... [[http://www.amazon.com/Face-Truth-Undisputed/dp/B0000942QS/ref=sr_1_2_title_1_aud?ie=UTF8&qid=1411082047&sr=8-2&keywords=face+to+face+undisputed+truth)

Hi Gary, yes it's the same as "Gotta Hold On To This Feeling."
http://www.discogs.com/Junior-Walker-The-All-Stars-What-Does-It-Take-To-Win-Your-Love/master/209779

I wasn't aware that it was released on cd, thanks for pointing that out. Too bad the first used copies I see are about £100. I hope Universal makes this available as a download and I can get it lossless from Qobuz.

The other one I meant is this - looks like it may have only been released in Europe?

http://www.discogs.com/Jr-Walker-The-All-Stars-Featuring-Stevie-Wonder-Jr-Walker-The-All-Stars/master/272539

Hi Calvin, look what I just found! I looked up a discography on the internet showing the track titles on each one of Jr. Walkers's albums, and it turns out the website is a thread from Soulful Detroit! You'll notice that the 1974 "Jr. Walker & The All Stars" LP that you mentioned was slated for release here in the U.S., but was then replaced with Jr.'s "Hot Shot" album instead. Are you saying that 1974's "Jr. Walker & The All Stars" exists on CD in the U.K?

BTW, thanks for the link showing the 1974 album and the track titles.

Here's the link I was telling you about:

The 1974 album Jr. Walker and the All Stars, which was originally intended for release as Soul label LP S6-742S1, ultimately was not issued in the States. It was, however, released in the UK as Tamla-Motown STML-11274. Most of the tracks from this album ended up on later US albums. "All in Love Is Fair", "Boogie Down", and "Until You Come Back To Me [[That's What I'm Gonna Do)" were included on the 1976 album Sax Appeal. "You Are The Sunshine of My Life" and "My Love" were issued on another 1976 album, Whopper Bopper Show Stopper. "Dancin' Like They Do On Soul Train", which was a single in the States, was later reissued on the 1994 2-CD compilation Nothing But Soul: The Singles.

You're welcome, blkfrost. Are you aware that Bobby Darin's previously-unreleased Live Motown album is also available on CD? In fact, I just discovered that it's been re-issued [[since my copy) with an even newer front cover and two additional songs. Here's the Amazon link:

Thank you. I found and purchased the Rare Earth ones. Did not know about Bobby Darin. I wonder if they used the same masters as the box that came out several years ago. They sound excellent.

[Philles/Motown Gary]

I wonder if they used the same masters as the box that came out several years ago. They sound excellent.

No, soulster, Rare Earth's "Back To Earth" and their self-titled "Rare Earth" are two of their later Motown albums which, to my knowledge, had never been on CD before. But they sound great. If you're interested, I say "Go for it!"

[Cadeho]

I've had a list myself, but it is too vast. I say make everything available for download. I don't have the money or time to wait for shipping of physical CDs... people are crazy on ebay and Amazon for what they ask sometimes. This is Motown's 55th anniversary and I'm surprised more has not been released in honor of that. It seems things have been quiet since the 45th as far as celebrations and re-releases in honor of are concerned.

[Ngroove]

I suppose, re-pressings, of the Motown Barbara McNair and Billy Eckstine Anthologies. No, I am not a digital person.

Repressings of Complete Motown Singles 1966 also.

COMPLETE STEVIE WONDER SINGLES A AND B SIDES 1961-1971

Yeah, may sound nutty, Stevie probably Motown's most represented, highest selling acts, BUT, when was the last time "I'm Wondering" or "You've Met Your Match", or even "Contract on Love" been physically released?

For the most part, when most think of Stevie, what Motown thinks of Stevie, would be the "Music of My Mind" - beyond Stevie Wonder that he himself owns. As for "Motown" Stevie, most classic hits compilations and such may bring out "Fingertips", "Uptight [[Everything's Alright)", "I Was Made To Love Her", "For Once In My Life", "My Cherie Amour", "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours", and sometimes "Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day", "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday", and "If You Really Love Me", but what about "Hey Harmonica Man", "Nothing's Too Good For My Baby", "With A Child's Heart", "Everytime I See You, I Go Wild", and "Angie Girl"?

C'mon Motown - even then, Stevie's got the power, got mad ferocious energy! You've got the music - why not re-use them?

[longtimefan]

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Universal Motown had a web site that listed current and upcoming releases so we all had the same information? It seems like a good business procedure to me.

[thommg]

How about the Bobby Darin album [[aka, Sail Away)? It has never been on cd as far as I know, though a couple of tracks have appeared [[in shortened version, I think).

[Philles/Motown Gary]

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Universal Motown had a web site that listed current and upcoming releases so we all had the same information? It seems like a good business procedure to me.

It sure would, longtimefan. A one-stop Motown CD-release information site sounds like common business sense to me. Universal would sell a lot more Motown CD's and downloads if the public were aware of what's available. It would sure save us a lot of unnecessary and time-consuming hunting and searching for new and upcoming releases.

Universal would sell a lot more Motown CD's and downloads if the public were aware of what's available. It would sure save us a lot of unnecessary and time-consuming hunting and searching for new and upcoming releases.

Has Harry ever commented on this need for a regularly updated, comprehensive website featuring current and upcoming releases? Is he still associated with Universal/Motown? Just wondering....

[snakepit]

The Originals albums
Ivy Hunter as well

[JM27]

An expanded release of Stevie's "Where I'm Coming From". It predates his revised contract so doesn't need his permission to be released, and there are a few unreleased mixes knocking around. Plus it's very underrated and Stevie's first "adult" album.

[soulster]

BTW, the new Pono download site is going live soon, and will offer lossless albums like Quboz does in Europe.

Eddie,
Right on! I have been posting for a year or more about the lack of an official website that talks about Motown's current and upcoming releases. I simply cannot understand why they have no advertisement as simple as a website that tells what is new and what is coming soon. Speaking of Harry; I haven't seen any post from him for ages. Is he still with the company or perhaps just uncomfortable about making any statements, which I could certainly understand.
