If anyone has this 4 CD release in their collection, I would appreciate some information on the release. According to the eBay and Amazon listings, a booklet was included with the set. If you have the booklet that was included, I would like to know of any information in it re the places the Revue went to, what acts appeared, and the dates of these performances.

If anyone by chance has a spare booklet that was with this set and are interested in selling it, please private email me as I would be interested. Thank you.

There's no actual itinerary but there is a big poster and references to places that they played but no confirmation of who played what dates other than the artists on the 4 cds.

Thanks. I was hoping that there was more information as to places, dates, etc. Information is certainly missing on these historic events. There should have been a documentary or a book published on the events and the importance they had in promoting Motown Records. Now it seems every time you read something in one of the author's books, etc. etc. the information is in conflict and questionable. But remember it was 54 years ago.

Here's some info on the 4CD set offered by Hio-O-Select some years back.

While Discogs currently doesn't appear to have any copies for sale, it may be available on Ebay.

Because of its size, [[detailed on the above website), I doubt if you'll readily find any spare copies of the "booklet" for sale on its own, as along with a full size color poster, its integral to the whole package.
