Th original CD release in the "MOTD" series is the original LP released mix. The CD released in the "37463" series is the mix and track list that was intended for the album's original title of...
To my ears the whole "Ready To Roll" album on this CD twofer sounds like an alternate mix/master.

Jack 020,
That cover you posted was used, here, in the UK. This is the slightly different pose of the group used for the Dutch release:-

And me. Love their Motown tunes!
Ivor
Unfortunately, it's not available to buy in the UK for us customers who wanted the booklet and even better sound quality than the lossless downloads.

"Thanks To You" was co-written and produced by Harold Johnson of the Devastating Affair and lat Finished Touch and is an outtake from the "House Party" album.

Exactly, who cares about all of this "xyz" years later?? But whist we're on it, Ivy Jo Hunter also sings on "Honey Bee" on the "Love Child" album as, I believe, he did the bee sounds. However,...
The only album planned on Mary that wasn't released was "Second Time Around" [[Motown MT 612) but that one preceded the "My Guy" album and I asked UK Motown in the '70s if they had a tracklisting for...
Yes, of course!
Ivor
MoWest did in the UK with Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons' "The Night".

Scherrie Payne is singing lead with Mary and Cindy on back-ups [[and, maybe Scherrie as well to fill out the backgrounds).
Ivor
I believe he was already poorly at this point and that's why his voice was weak also.
Ivor
This album is nice and has been released as a remastered digital download and sounds just fine and dandy. I've just given up looking for it on US sites but to prove it exists, here you are from the...
Also, I believe Gladys & the Pips re-recorded two other of their pre-Motown tracks, "Either Way I Lose" and "Lovers Always Forgive", for possible inclusion on their "Greatest Hits" LP but were then...
marv 2,
That's exactly what the UK Motown office told me in the 70s when I asked them as you could always hear male voices on the backgrounds on those two tunes. All I can say is if it was just...
TomatoTom123,
Yes "When The Lights Come Down On Love" was indeed a Mike and Kathy Wakefield co-composition and was produced by Mike Sutton and was recorded in January 1977. "Soulmate" is, indeed,...
As regards Dennis's unreleased solo album from 1977, this was actually co-produced by Mike & Brenda Sutton and Harold Johnson. As far as I know Jeffrey Bowen had no involvement in it whatsoever...
Woodward is correct, Stevie's "Just Enough To Ease The Pain" has yet to be issued on any subsequent physical release.
Ivor
Paul,
I've heard it on an old bootleg cassette with other Motown tracks which made me to assume it was a Motown recording. Certainly, it sounded earlier than her Music Merchant era.
As for the...
Yeah but Mike even if you're in the UK you can still order from Amazon.com [[or any other overseas Amazon site for that matter) if it's cost effective to do so.
Ivor
Rose's album has never been released on CD but deserves to be. The closest it came to getting a CD release was back in the mid '90s when French Motown had it lined up for a CD release in their...
A couple of the Jeffrey Bowen produced tracks were included on the expanded edition of "Diana Ross 1976" . Also, Jeffrey produced Rose Banks' glorious "Rose" album" also released in 1976.
Ivor
It is live as it's the group's appearance on BBC1's "Top Of The Pops" in April 1976 and, at that time, all visiting US acts and other overseas acts had to perform live unlike UK based acts who could...
Paul,
By your comment about "Lift Every Voice And Sing" are you saying all of Kim's MGM recordings now come under the Motown wing within Universal Music?
Ivor
davidh,
I didn't realise that "Travelin' Light" was one of the Stevie produced tracks but thinking of it, I suppose, it does sound like something he would have produced at that time. I was only...
