The Four Seasons - Working Our Way Back To You: The Ultimate Collection

[danman869]

Yes, I know this hangs on the edges of the Motown universe, but I figured that for anyone who likes The Four Seasons and Frankie Valli AND liked and wanted more of their Motown material [which is here--released and unreleased], it would be helpful to know about this massive, detailed set that is coming in September 2022!



Working Our Way Back To You: The Ultimate Collection
"Over 44 CDs and 1LP, Working Our Way Back To You chronicles Frankie Valli's every stride through a career of 195 singles and 31 studio albums. The set includes a stunning multi-foldout reproduction of the original US packaging of The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette vinyl album [in its original mono mix, available here for the first time ever].

The package includes an extraordinary assemblage of unreleased treats, rare treasures and long-unavailable mixes, including much sought after tracks the group cut for Motown. The boxed set also includes a 144-page hardback book, a separate singles book showing a multitude of picture sleeves from around the world, and a book of Collectors’ notes."

Mind you, this isn't cheap--£350.00 [which is about US $427.00]--but it's 44 discs, one vinyl record, and heavily annotated! It seems like a labor of love on this one and probably the last time something of this scale this will be released on The Four Seasons.

The only thing that makes me sad is that as Motown/Universal has all but stopped their reissue program [whatever happened to The Supremes Expanded Edition series after "Sing HDH"...?], something like this gets green-lighted by another company and will hopefully sell very well.
