Yes it does, Gary!!!

Remember all those years ago when you wished for these albums on CD...

It might be easier for Harry if we put our Motown Want Lists all under one thread. If you agree, just reply to this thread and add your personal list of wants along with mine:

...

THE UNDISPUTED TRUTH
The Undisputed Truth
Law Of The Land
Down To Earth

It's finally come true!

Whichever of the two Ace/Motown projects rushing [[at a rate of about one track per month) towards clearance comes next, it will be one of "mine", and your nomination will be appropriate and welcome.

I am not understandings the "one track a month" concept. Are you saying that the clearances and mixing of a track take about a month meaning that a 24 track set will not come out for two years? Just wondering... Thanks!

I'm just saying [[facetiously) that it seems to be taking a long time to get previously unissued tracks licensed for release at the moment. So it's hard to predict release dates for our CDs.

Hey, Tom! Boy, you sure do have a good memory! HaHa!

Hey Gary, I don't believe I was even a member of Soulful Detroit when you started that thread... I do however remember going through past threads, reading yours and thinking what a great thread it was, and it stuck in my mind!

I can't believe your request has come true, it's so wonderful!

Well, thank you very much, Tom. Boy, that's quite a compliment! It really is great news that we're finally getting the Undisputed Truth albums on CD. When it comes to Motown, it may take a while, but, sooner or later, they ALWAYS come through for us one way or another. [[Keeping the faith for "Cosmic Truth" and "Higher Than High" on CD, too!)

REALLY looking forward to this set! Any chance of the first Love Unlimited lp 'From A Girl's Point Of View' on cd?

PeaceNHarmony, Love Unlimited's "From A Girl's Point Of View" already DID come out on CD back in 1994. Amazon has 3 copies available through 3rd-party dealers, but, as usual, the price gougers are out in full force expecting $40+ for a used copy. I checked out eBay for you, and their dealers are just as bad or worse.

I tried to copy the Amazon link for you, but my PC isn't working right. Just go into Amazon's search engine and type in:

love unlimited from a girl's point of view cd

....and it will take you right to it. - Gary

Hey, you're welcome, Gary!

And, yes, you're right, it's such wonderful news. It can only be a matter of time before Cosmic Truth and Higher Than High get CD releases too!

Hey Philles/Motown Gary,
a few months ago I found a very good second hand copy of Love Unlimited's "From A Girl's Point Of View here in Amsterdam for 5 $.
The shop owner apparently did not bother to check its value!

**Philles/Motown Gary** · 07-20-2017, 10:49 AM

Hey, Jack! It's been a while!

You sure got yourself a good deal with that $5 copy of Love Unlimited. That careless dealer's loss was your gain!

[[Just wondering here, was there any special reason why you included the link to my personal profile? Senior moment maybe? HaHa!)
