The copywrite on this has ended and this company is taking advantage of that. The sources are usually previously released digital tracks or even needle drops.

I'll get this one only because I've never seen the original album re-released on CD or vinyl. Well, the album has been re-released but weirdly, as a sort of greatest hits collection packaged in the guise of the "Do You Love Me" album cover.

Has anyone ever heard the track Lime Tree? It's not even listed on DFTMC.

How do you do it? You have an indefatigable knowledge of everything connected with Motown releases. I absolutely had no idea about these releases of the original album- and I always thought I did fairly well keeping up with these things. Thank you for the links and information on here!

They seemed to have no problem issuing Chris Clark's "Soul Sounds" [[incl 3 bonus tracks).

Thanks for your comments - I'm just glad to be able to help like minded folks on this Forum. Thanks must also go to Berry Gordy Jr. for his foresight and for providing such a long standing interest [[although he's probably the main reason I'm poor lol).
