New on iTunes and Spotify...

For all you Johnny-and-Jennifer-come-latelys out there...the expanded editions of Diana's RCA output have arrived on US iTunes and Spotify!!! Curiously, the original Red Hot Rhythm + Blues is also available in a "mastered for iTunes" edition by itself. Great prices as well!

I'm a Spotify subscriber, but not iTunes - what's the deal - does iTunes always do their own mastering when they offer a title?

Not always; this is a special arrangement made with Universal for much of Motown's back catalog. For example, Diana's Ross ​album [1978] is available for the first time on iTunes through this arrangement.
