You usually end up with faint vocals or sounds that can still be heard, or other sonic anomalies that just don't always sound right.
The only real solution is rebuilding using the original multitracks. I've been fortunate to be able to find quite a few Motown ones [[as well as a whole bunch of non-Motown) so that's how I can create my extended versions that are actual remixes, rebuilding them from the ground up from the multitracks.
Though I've been creating mixes quite frequently, it's actually been a while since I've done anything Motown. I must find some time to do some new ones. It's been way too long since I've shared my stuff with this board.
