I remember when it came out. I liked the samples of the songs I heard. I wonder if it is still available and where could I buy it?

[marv2]

Ok, here it is on Amazon where they changed the name and CD cover:

Somehow I missed this completely. I don't think I'll bother now.

Ooo, this is interesting. I kinda liked the samples I listened to. Do you know when it was originally released? :)

In 2011 I believe.

The Detroit Classics CD pictured above was released on Iliad 0601 in 1999.

Thanks Mysterysinger. Mary sounds great!

[mysterysinger]

All the tracks on the CD have grown on me. Some very nice performances too from Jimmy, Dennis and Levi & the Tops. Martha sounds quite different to what I would have expected [[and I mean in a very nice way if it is her).

Me too. I want this CD! Got to have it!

I’ve had it for years. It’s great.

I thought it was download only, not a CD.

You're lucky, although I was hoping to find a traditional CD. I want this bad enough to download it. Thank you Longtimefan.

"Detroit Classics" is a 10 track CD which was released in 1999 as noted earlier in this thread and introduced as a disc on the original post.

The album was made available digitally in 2011 and was re-titled as " With Love... From The Motor City" having different artwork and one extra track not on the CD which is "Theme From Mahogany [[Do You Know Where You're Going To)".

The download is available on Amazon in the UK and USA [[£7.99 in the UK). I have purchased the extra track to go with my 10 track CD.

Mysterysinger, would you happen to know if the original CD is available for purchase anywhere?

[mysterysinger]

It seems to be a fairly rare beast but I don't know whether any of the used CD stores in the USA might have copies available.

Although I'm in the UK, I actually purchased my copy of the CD on ebay from a US store [[Motorcitymusic) along with a few other titles in order to save a little on combined postage.

Another forum member may have better ideas, but otherwise I would keep an eye on your usual sources such as ebay and Amazon. It might be an idea to set up a notification on ebay so that when it becomes available they will notify you.

I will post a couple more tracks on YouTube.

[mysterysinger]

I should say that it was not dear to buy at all so don't expect to pay much if you do see the CD anywhere.

[marv2]

I just found this on Youtube:

I will post a couple more tracks on YouTube [[requests will be considered lol). EMI Music will grab the advertising rights via a copyright claim I've no doubt lol.

Mysterysinger, you are the BEST! Please post Mary doing "Come See About Me" please?

[mysterysinger]

The video of "I Hear A Symphony" isn't readily available in the UK. I'll sort you out CSAM.

I really appreciate that. Thank you!

Ahhh, you've made me day. Now I can withstand the snow storm we have coming. Thank you very much Mysterysinger!

I know that is Mary on background, but now I wonder who the other ladies were singing with her.
