What exactly do Motown actually own of the buy out or take over of other recording companies? I realise it will be different for each one, but aside from selected titles, Motown hasn't really released a great deal from the wealth of recordings I think.

Clearly Edwin Starr, Fantastic Four, San Remo Strings, Junior Walker, Spinners and certain others have seen some of their pre Motown recordings integrated with their Motown albums. There have been odd singles from the likes of Laura Lee, Al Kent, Reflections and so forth. There was the. "Ric Tic Relics" album too, of course. Doesn't seem to be very much from Golden World, Anna etc.

The bootleggers, out of copyrighters and the likes of Ace have done the business so we have a wealth of material available on CD. But are there going to be any unreleased gems lurking in some vault somewhere?
