    What a great unusual set. I guess I didn’t know he had had a variety show back then. What a voice he has. if these recordings have been preserved nicely this looks like a fantastic set.

  3. It is a great set. I love that early,...

    It is a great set. I love that early, unvarnished, innocent sound on the earliest of the Motown albums. Most of the major groups very first albums were like that, but in the Miracles case several of...

    Rarewaves-US often offers free shipping to the US but their Record is spotty and I’ve had bad experiences with their packages going missing. They also don’t give any refund or a replacement for...

    I know most of Motown is true stereo, but I thought I had read that this album had some fake stereo cuts on it. I haven’t played them side-by-side to compare them. Do you happen to know?

    What fantastic news! I think Smokey’s songwriting and vocals were at their peak during their last years together as a group. And the prices on “What Love Has” from its long ago CD release are...

    I never thought I'd see the day! Well done, Mr. Clinton! Thanks for all the great music!

    Thanks MotownEddie for letting us know!

    @sansradio,

    Thanks! That makes this set well worth it. For me with Nina Simone, I like her earlier recordings the best. She got so dark later it seemed in her delivery, it was kind of like I...

    Here is the Detroit Free Press article describing the funeral. It mentions some of the celebs who sent flowers but doesn't mention who was in attendance aside from Stevie, Diane and Mary. It's in 2...

    Very nice looking box set from the same folks who did the masterful Dionne Warwick boxes as well as the Jr. Walker set a few years ago.

    Does anyone know if Nina's "live" recordings on this label...

    I forgot to mention the weirdest thing about this film! It was filmed in something they called Duovision and had two different sequences filmed side-by-side through the whole movie kind of like they...
  17. “Never Steal Anything Wet” by Mary Wells???

    The other night I was watching this weird flick on Turner Classic Movies called “The Catalina Caper“, which starred, of all people, former Mousketeer Tommy Kirk. Listening to the theme song over the...

    Thanks for the link, @glenpwood! I didn’t see these the first time around.

    What a great job he did. He went beyond just designing the covers to even thinking through the tracklist on each album,...

    She'd be thrilled to get in! She had the same attitude about the Academy Award before she was nominated, saying if she won she'd say "F.U. I won in spite of all of you!" Well, she won and nothing...

    The "Mr. Big Stuff" album was great. I played it over and over back in the day. As I recall, it did not include the soundalike follow up "You Think You're Hot Stuff." Certainly, she deserved...

    This is very interesting. I never heard of a Record club that sold 45s. What were the terms and conditions of joining, if you were a member?

    I’m not really sure what the point of this thread was, but isn’t it true that Marvin Gaye both played drums and sang back up in the Marvelettes song? It seems to me you can hear his distinctive tenor...

    Cher seemed laser-focused on her movie career which of course reached its zenith in her winning the Oscar for "Moonstruck." I think her recording career has had its ups and downs and could have...

    I guess the thing I don't get about auto-tune is why they think that leaving it sound so robotic and machine generated appeals to listeners. Does it? It seems counter-intuitive that if you're...

    @Boogie,

    Totally agree with both your comments above. That first track is absolute dreck. The second, much much better. Of course, "Please Come Home for Christmas" has a long legacy as a real...
