THREE YEARS pass between "The Marvelous Marvelettes" [[1963) and their "Greatest Hits" [[1966) [[with a "live" LP thrown in between).
Yet the group has hits in 1964 and 1965 with "Too Many Fish" and "Don't Mess With Bill".
Why no album releases to cash in on the success of either [[or both?) I can theorize that perhaps attention had shifted from the Marvelettes to the Supremes, but certainly there had to still be some value to a group that just a few years prior brought Motown a #1 hit? Yet still even the Vandellas had a release in 1965.
Was something planned and later withdrawn? Just seems like an awfully long time without anything.
