Well, it seems that my original posting was premature. I have now received a wonderful book written by Andy Neill about Ready Steady Go! It is LP sized, contains 268 pages and is described as the...

Thank you for confirming this. That means after checking my collection, I have this track three times and each one is different, so I have the set!

...and similarly with the Hip-O Select volumes of the Four Tops, Temptations, Martha and the Vandellas, Diana Ross and the Supremes, plus the two volume sets of the Supremes post-Diana. I was...

According to the Discogs website, they only list the following:
S 60701 - Jr. Walker and the All Stars - Shotgun
S 60702 - Jr Walker and the All Stars - Soul Session
S 60703 - Jr Walker and the...

It does seem strange that the Four Tops haven't been given that privilege. From my point of view, and slightly modifying your parameters, it would be nice to see in print something about three or...

Although possibly not Motown, I thought I would mention this release as it follows on from her Ric-Tic single in 1968. Not someone I am familiar with as I only have "Going Down A One-Way Street (The...

Thank you for this pointer. After a bit of research I think that this Johnny T. is a DJ, so maybe these recordings are not official versions.

Thank you for this information. I've checked all the other entries from "Easy" on DFTMC and it seems that "I'm Your Puppet" is the only track where Valerie is mentioned.

I'm relatively new to...

Thanks Bluebrock and snakepit. By combining your suggestions, I have my work around. Catch up on iPlayer whilst I record the other programme I'm after, and then hopefully watch out for a repeat in...

It's going to be a busy weekend. Unfortunately this programme clashes with another, I will have to find a work-around! Thanks for letting us know.

I've been following this thread for a while, and there is nothing of note that I can add to the debate, plus my lack of knowledge and the inability of my ears to note subtle changes would clearly...

Thanks again snakepit! I only recently discovered that Sky Arts was on Freeview, and the timing of the programme doesn't clash with anything else.

From now on I will be using you as my eyes and...

Thank you for the notification. My Radio Times arrived yesterday, but I hadn't looked that far ahead yet. It's RT's film of the week.

Thank you mystersinger for checking this out for me. After looking at my database, it seems that I have numerous copies of this track, all on CD except for the single reissue that came with The...

[QUOTE=danman869;592906]Just curious as to whether anyone else here on SDF who may have e-mailed "appreciation" to Caroline Records for this clearly well-loved set has received any response? I...

By coincidence I listened to "Barrett Strong: The Complete Motown Collection", only a couple of days ago. At the end of the booklet a certain Mr. Paul Nixon wrote:

"While that seems to be it from...

Martha Reeves and the Vandellas

Natural Resources came out in 1970, so could there be anything else still buried in the vaults? Spellbound hoovered up half a dozen tracks recorded the same year,...

Thank you "mysterysinger" - nice to see this peformance, particularly as I was only listening to their "The Motown Anthology" very recently. I also learnt that I have been mispronouncing their name...

Mr. Nixon, The wheels have most certainly not come off, and I am willing to provide a spare if it is ever needed by continuing to buy future releases. If the artists and all the others involved are...

I hope you like it as much as I do - otherwise I might end up in trouble! :)

My copy arrived yesterday and I have now had a chance to listen to it. As usual, it is up to the high standard that Ace always provides, both in terms of sound and presentation, although this time it...

Having listened to the first four volumes of COM over the weekend, finally got round to hearing the whole of Vol.5 today. My email to Caroline Records attempting to encourage them to consider further...

I can stop holding my breath, this just arrived a few minutes ago and Frank Wilson is already playing. And the booklet smells freshly printed in addition to looking fantastic.

Thank you Mr....

Friday 4 September, start of a new series - "Soul America".

"The story of how, in the early 1960s, soul music emerged...

Thanks Copley, my apologies. Although I recorded the programme, I had only listened to the first half an hour at that time, and I then got the track listing from the BBC website. (Memo to self: Don't...
