Mary sounds really great on " Come See About Me." and "Stop In the Name of Love". I am going to buy it. Thanks rod_rick.

Does anyone have any details about when/where this was recorded? I listened to it on Spotify. That's not Martha Reeves singing, despite her being listed on the cover.

Levi Stubbs passed away in 2008 so unless you know something I don't.....

It's all very odd. Jimmy hasn't been on stage for along long time and that's not Martha either. I haven't a clue who is singing the Temps tracks...

There is another website that says the cd is copyright 2010 but released in 2011. It does sound like Levi on the 2 Four Tops numbers even though I don't know who sang his stuff in the lineup from 2010-2011. But, it doesn't really sound like Martha Reeves to me.

It may just have been a compilation of recordings the artist did with the London Symphony and released in 2011.

Seems more likely.

I was beginning to worry if a ouija board was involved!

Ok but seriously, the only true identifiable voices I was able to pick out so far from this collection are:

Mary Wilson
Levi Stubbs,
Jimmy Ruffin.

I don't know who it is singing the Martha & the Vandellas songs or the Temptations Just My Imagination.

Marv, Nathan backing track sounds like it was a borrowed Karaoke track. Almost a Ian Levin type production. Just sayin.

This is a re-recording by the FLOS - Jean Terrell, Scherrie Payne & Lynda Lawrence. I have it on a couple of FLO's recordings that were sold under the name The Supremes. One is Baby Love and the other is Hits Hits Hits. So, I believe you are correct detmotownguy, it is an Ian Levine production.

I'm getting error when I check the site again.

Maybe someone has lodged a complaint.
