Three cheers to Ace! What would we do without them nowadays? Thanks guys for all that you do for the fans! Plus they provide us with an actual CD format and excellent booklets! I hope to see a huge chain of "thank yous" to Ace on this post.

[lakedistrictlad1]

So excited about this. Who would have thought there was still Marvin Gaye and Temptations tracks in the vaults? Thanks ACE. Can't wait for this. And on CD too!

[Bluebrock]

Ace are the best!!They actually listen to their customers. They deserve our full support which i trust is what they will get, Cannot wait for this.

[berry101]

THANKS Keith and to all at ACE. Yes , as stated in an earlier reply , " what would we do without you ..."SO EXCITED :)

[calvin]

Thanks Keith, I'm really looking forward to this! Every Motown release from Ace is a winner!

[mowsville]

i have supported ACE/KENT with all their Motown releases..they are just sublime...thanks Keith & Co..ive had to miss out on all the download only stuff as I'm of that generation that's not computer literate and have no idea how to do it...and I'm a Motown completist so you can imagine what these cd's mean to me...please keep up the great work you do.

[snakepit]

Well done Keith and ACE ...looks a wonderful set
glad to see Ivy Hunter on there

[alanh]

Looks like another great collection indeed. A few have been on the download only 'Unreleased' collections, like the Temps [[Heaven Right Here), both Marvin's, Choker Campbell, Earl Van Dyke [[Heart To Heart) and Sammy Ward - assuming they are the same versions. But it'll be good to have them on CD remastered well, as always by Ace.

[aarondillon2011@gmail.com]

I have a question and I am not sure if this has been answered, but if Ace/Kent has access to these Motown recordings why are they not able to release full albums?

[snakepit]

wasn't the Temptations "I've got heaven right here on earth" on the Emperors of Soul box set..??

[snakepit]

answered my own question....presumably this will be an alternate version? i.e. it has been issued on previous CD

I Got Heaven Right Here On Earth [[Norman Whitfield-Edward Holland Jr-Eddie Kendricks) published Jobete

alternate title: You Know That I Love You

The Temptations; recorded Hitsville-GW, completed 18-Sep-68 ; produced by Norman Whitfield ; [v2 - lead David Ruffin]

20-Sep-94; CD [[M): Motown 530 338 2 Emperors Of Soul
05-Jun-03; CD [[M): Spectrum 067 016 2 Tamla Motown Connoisseurs Volume 2 [UK]

[carole cucumber]

Yes, with David Ruffin on lead

but the version on 'One Track Mind' has Ediie Kendricks on lead

[mysterysinger]

Well I've bought em all except for the Mary Wells twofer. This one will join my collection and I'm sure I won't be disappointed. That Fantastic Four set is rarely out of the CD player. March is looking like a good month. Thanks ACE and Keith.

[bradsupremes]

I literally yelled "Hot damn!" when I saw the Four Tops' "Can't Stop This Feeling" on the tracklist and finally seeing the light of day. I asked about that track just last year hoping to see it turn up on one of these releases and Keith delivered! Awesome!

[daviddesper]

As a matter of personal taste, I cannot get as excited about this as I did the girls collection, but I will buy it anyway. I am sure it will have at least a few things on there that will grab me.

[thommg]

It figures that another one is coming out when I finally bought the first of this series! I also picked up Love & Affection, which I am loving the heck out of! Thanks for these releases. I really do enjoy them sooooo much.

[RossHolloway]

@Keith_Hughes - Great track listing and can't wait to support this release. Where there any tracks by Stevie Wonder, Barrett Strong or the Contours up for consideration? And any newly discovered tracks by Jr. Walker & the Allstars?

[Ngroove]

Where's Billy Eckstine?

[keith_hughes]

Can't tell you much about the selection process, Ross. Paul Nixon and Mick Patrick put together a project for Ace in 2014 that was subsequently turned down by Universal on the grounds that they were about to do something similar themselves. It seems they changed their minds. We re-submitted a few of the tracks for "Love And Affection" and they were accepted, and most of the rest are included here.

My sole contribution - and I'm proud of it! - is "Goose Wobbling Time".

[TomBairdFan]

Can't wait to have my goose wobbled! All praise to ACE for listening to us Motown CD fans. I hope this one is another big seller for you.

[carole cucumber]

A few of the booklet's photos are now up at the Ace website.

[carole cucumber]

Sound samples now up at Ace website.

[honest man]

WOW Carole thanks for notice only checked earlier were not there,will give them a try right now,cheers.

[brother_love]

Nobody does it like ACE!

[nevertoolate]

Heard the sound clips--the song "I gotta find myself [[a true love)--Miracles. Did another Motown
group record it? I heard a slightly faster version on WMOR about 4 years ago. I like that version better, but I will settle for the Miracles one..I like this set..

The debate is out as to whether it was a MOTOWN group who recorded that other version.

[keith_hughes]

An instrumental version of that other version has been released here: http://www.acerecords.co.uk/dave-hamiltons-detroit-dancers-vol-2-mp3

[theboyfromxtown]

On its way...

[booty]

Where from John, ACE?

[theboyfromxtown]

Ace now has stock. Not sure about Amazon

[lakedistrictlad1]

I bought mine from Rise Music. Online shop based in Bristol. 11.60 including postage. It's the cheapest price I've found online. Anything but give my money to Amazon.

[theboyfromxtown]

Phil

It's shown at £10.00 at present on their website. Is £1.60 the postage?

[westgrandboulevard]

Many thanks for that info, lakedistrictlad1....

That's £1.32 [[12%) less than buying direct from Ace themselves....

[booty]

Ace now has stock. Not sure about Amazon

Mine is with ACE too John so fingers crossed!

[Ryon6]

The time is here. Can't wait for my copy to arrive!

***BRILLIANT!***OUTSTANDING!!***FANTASTIC!!!***

...mine arrived today ...and WOW!!!

...every Motown-sounding ...Northern-souling ...dance-flooring track in this set is truly amazing ...no-one would have thought that a 24 song set of such high quality could be released some 50 years after most of these gems were recorded ...one of the best Motown releases of the CD-age ...Thank you Keith and all the gang ...job very well done...!!

Grape :)

[rovereab]

Mine arrived today but it has been taken off me as it's a birthday present so I must wait a little while :[[

Can't wait to be older!

[jaybs]

Yes my copy of the CD did also, all mine though LOL! - Complete Credit to ACE they Never let us down.

[snakepit]

Brilliant compilation
Didn't think we would get a CD as good as this again..
Big thanks to all involved.

[mysterysinger]

Mine arrived today from Amazon UK. Just ACE.

[roger]

Mine arrived today from Amazon UK. Just ACE.

Oooo ... you must have friends in the right places Mysterysinger ....

I pre-ordered a copy from Amazon.co.uk about a month back and received an e-mail a couple of days back saying that they wouldn't be able to deliver it today [[25th March - the official release date) as it is Good Friday and a Bank Holiday. However I received another E-Mail yesterday saying that it had been dispatched for delivery so with any luck it will arrive tomorrow and this torture can end. :)

Roger

[soulwally]

Mine arrived today from Amazon UK. Just ACE.
Just got to agree with you all. Thanks Ace and Keith and co.

[mysterysinger]

Yes I got the same email as you so was surprised and pleased to receive it on Good Friday, especially since it came in the same package as the expanded Motortown Revue. Speaking of which I am listening to those live performances right now and enjoying immensely. Happy days.

[grapevine]

Three cheers to Ace! What would we do without them nowadays? Thanks guys for all that you do for the fans! Plus they provide us with an actual CD format and excellent booklets! I hope to see a huge chain of "thank yous" to Ace on this post.

...agreed...!!! :)

[roger]

...agreed...!!! :)


Mine arrived yesterday [[as I found out when I got home late last night) ... I've managed to give it three or four spins and I'm very pleased with it. :)

Roger

[nevertoolate]

Mine came very fast from Ace to the U.S. I was shocked..I am enjoying this set immensily,
I noticed that the Marv Johnson title track does not have any background singers I guess it is
un mixed?

[snakepit]

3 tracks from this great CD are featured on my radio show this week...2-5 April.
If interested , please refer to thread on the main forum
thanks

[144man]

I picked up my copy in London on Tuesday from Sister Ray, Berwick Street. I've played it once and am extremely happy.

[lakedistrictlad1]

This could well be my favourite CD from ACE yet. I've been playing it endlessly today. SO many great tracks. My favourites so far are the Monitors and Four Tops. Hearing anything new from Levi is like an old friend saying hello.
Thanks Keith, Mick and everyone at ACE for another great CD.

[paul_nixon]

There are some of my current all time favourites on this set

[dickiemint]

This CD is on repeat in my car and I am loving it especially the 4tops and Edwin Starr tracks why Motown passed on these tracks is unbelievable. It shows what a high standard was being constantly produced in the heyday

[mysterysinger]

Have to agree with all the positive comments. Some tracks are becoming favourites but it is unfortunate that quality such as this has remained vaulted for so many years. I'm sure many folks would have appreciated being able to hear them or even have the chance, perhaps, of benefiting from some royalties. Still we have to express our thanks to all who contributed to the music and especially to Ace [[for finally releasing them) and to the good folks at Motown for ensuring their preservation. How amazing it all is.

[honest man]

ok Folks been playing this fantastic cd for past week love it and have to say these ACE releases just keep getting better if you can believe that,so true but i have my faves which are 1 Edwin Starr Head over heels[thanks Paul and Crew for discovering more Edwin ,if we get a Lost and Found set out i will die a happy man].2Kissing in the shadows[so glad Johnny's version has been included i thought there must be a solo version after hearing him dubbed on Tammi's duet] 3I'll be satisfied Frank Wilson wonderful song and so happy to hear it, hard to beat though excellent butTemptations version is in my top 10 all time fave Unreleased Motown unbelievable it was never put out in the day.4 Spinners- Imagination is running wild best Northern track on set maybe,Spinners vol 2 any chance gang].5 Four Tops Can't stop this feeling could n't get it out of my head so good to have a new 4 tops song thought they had all gone .wonderful same to say as 6I'd rather forget- Temptations what a surprise so happy to hear a new Temptations track thought they had all gone gives some hope for more, TO l ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS PROJECT A MASSIVE THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN.
