BREAKING NEWS - 27th April 2020
Speaking to Snapper Records last night I was informed that Bob Gaudio has agreed the LIST we proposed for the forthcoming BOX SET. 780+ tracks with many unreleased and UNIQUE and RARE versions....plus 3 LIVE shows from the early 1970s....43 CD's in total and ALL the catalogue that still exists. BUT best of all 13 previously UNRELEASED MOTOWN gems which I have been asking for since 2002 when a list rumoured real from the 1990s was confirmed. I am still trying to get 9 newly discovered ALTERNATE VERSIONS included and have drawn these to Bob Gaudio's attention.
I'll reveal more re the BONUS TRACKS including UNRELEASED from every decade from the 60s to the 80s as we agree CD locations with the engineer and he Re-Masters each album from the FSP Master Tapes [in both MONO/STEREO where they have survived]. The 'insert' book is progressing well and artwork coming along. As for the release date......in these times of social distance working it will be asap. The last 18 months work has largely been done that way and the REVIEW STAGE and CONTRACTS STAGE are completed and so the PRODUCTION STAGE begins. More News and 'sweeteners' here as I am able.
