Thank you for your original posting which led to some useful replies. From those, I realised that I had a gap in my collection, now successfully filled. I hope you received your copy of Strung Out. I...
There is a glorious LP-sized 268-page book all about Ready Steady Go, written by Andy Neill which was published in 2020. Pages 122-133 has a section titled The Sound of Motown, plus there is an...
I did try to produce a list of all the video clips I saw spread over a few days of part-time watching, so probably it is still not complete:
Marvin Gaye - Ain't That Peculiar
Supremes - I Hear A...
And in between my original post and mowsville's update, there was a repeat of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, plus:
Supremes - Stop In The Name of Love
Four Tops - I Can't Help Myself
Lovely to...
Don't know if anyone else has picked up on the fact that there are several Motown songs that appear on That's 60s [[Freeview 75). The other night I had it on for a couple of hours in the background...
My copy turned up today. In answer to your question, glorious sound, warm and enveloping - and I'm no good at describing things, but I think I could easily let it play and play and...
And a huge...
Just been listening to Festival Time and All Turned On on the new Ace CD. Lovely sound as always - if only the tracks could have been longer. Sigh! I will have to listen to my Marginal Records CD...
...and the faster version

That's curious, I wasn't aware of this longer version. TMG 512 was allocated to Shorty Long's Out To...
Hi Snakepit,
Yes, I have come across that before with a certain Mr. Spector doing the same with the Ronettes and the Crystals. There was also something similar with a pre-fame solo Cher release plus...
Hi Roger, that was a very prompt reply thank you. After a little more research on the 45cat website, you are correct that the A-Side is Ode To Billy Joe. The B-Side, for both the Promo and the...
Forgot to mention, there are also four tracks on Ric-Tic Relics Vol.1:
Hungry For Love
I'm Satisfied
Festival Time
International Love Theme
And on Ric-Tic Relics Vol.2:
Joy Road
Tracks by the San Remo Golden Strings in addition to those released on the two Gordy albums:
Hungry For Love - on Tamla Motown Big Hits Vol.4
Sunny - on Motown Unreleased 1967
Get Ready - on...
Thank you - you prompted my remaining brain cell, and I checked my copy of The Complete Motown Singles 1967 which includes Festival Time and Joy Road, together with a write-up about the musicians. It...
Actually, I feel it goes a little further than just those coincidences. On the Marble Arch LPs, there are some versions of well-known tracks: Till There Was You, Catch A Falling Star and I Believe....
Hi "nsoule". Good question! This is also the reason why I was confused over who the artists were for these various releases. In fact, Discogs list the Marble Arch LP "Around the World" as by the San...
Thanks "snakepit". Discogs have grouped the different artists under the same heading, both with and without the "Golden" part of the name. The track listing on the Marble Arch LPs did seem very...
HI Paul,
Thank you for your reply and the confirmation that they are two different groups of musicians. It has saved me some money which I can use for future Ace releases and possibly Cellarful...
Three years ago Keith Hughes asked a question in the MU68 thread about whether anyone would be interested in buying music by SRGS. It is nice to see the imminent release of “All Turned On” which will...
In case anybody has missed it, on Sky Arts at 11.00 PM tonight [[26 Feb), there is "Marvin Gaye: What's Going On". [[A profile of the soul singer).
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...
