What did folks make of this disc when it came out?
I remember when it came out. I liked the samples of the songs I heard. I wonder if it is still available and where could I buy it?
Ok, here it is on Amazon where they changed the name and CD cover:
https://www.amazon.com/Motor-London-...tra+and+Guests
Somehow I missed this completely. I don't think I'll bother now.
Ooo, this is interesting. I kinda liked the samples I listened to. Do you know when it was originally released?
The Detroit Classics CD pictured above was released on Iliad 0601 in 1999.
A track from Mary Wilson - "Stop! In The Name Of Love"
Thanks Mysterysinger. Mary sounds great!
All the tracks on the CD have grown on me. Some very nice performances too from Jimmy, Dennis and Levi & the Tops. Martha sounds quite different to what I would have expected [[and I mean in a very nice way if it is her).

I’ve had it for years. It’s great.
I thought it was download only, not a CD.
"Detroit Classics" is a 10 track CD which was released in 1999 as noted earlier in this thread and introduced as a disc on the original post.
The album was made available digitally in 2011 and was re-titled as " With Love... From The Motor City" having different artwork and one extra track not on the CD which is "Theme From Mahogany [[Do You Know Where You're Going To)".
The download is available on Amazon in the UK and USA [[£7.99 in the UK). I have purchased the extra track to go with my 10 track CD.
It seems to be a fairly rare beast but I don't know whether any of the used CD stores in the USA might have copies available.
Although I'm in the UK, I actually purchased my copy of the CD on ebay from a US store [[Motorcitymusic) along with a few other titles in order to save a little on combined postage.
Another forum member may have better ideas, but otherwise I would keep an eye on your usual sources such as ebay and Amazon. It might be an idea to set up a notification on ebay so that when it becomes available they will notify you.
I will post a couple more tracks on YouTube.

I should say that it was not dear to buy at all so don't expect to pay much if you do see the CD anywhere.
I just found this on Youtube:
The video of "I Hear A Symphony" isn't readily available in the UK. I'll sort you out CSAM.
"Come See About Me" - Mary Wilson with the London Philharmonic

I know that is Mary on background, but now I wonder who the other ladies were singing with her.
