Wow, lots of fun stuff there. Wanda's lead on "You Lost the Sweetest Boy" is great...for some reason, I expected Gladys on this track but Wanda's 'falsetto' really suits this one. In addition, the alternate of "Don't Make Hurting Me a Habit," is much slower paced, a different song entirely than the one we're used to hearing.

Someone had asked about Ann, and "Breakthru" and "Why'd You Do it" are definitely her on lead.

From the lyrics sung and the song titles listed , it seems that track #6 and #16 are reversed on Disc 4, [[the Lost & Found). Is it also that way on the actual cd?

I'm sold on this set! Wanda's take on the Temps' "I'll Be in Trouble" is as funky as 3 port-o-johns on gameday! And Gladys Horton sounds like another Gladys on "I Know Better", if you know what i mean! I can kiss my Christmas money good-bye!

Unfortunately, yes. This is my oversight. More on this next week.

Thank you for letting us know!

As long as it's not missing a song, and you still get both songs it's alright with me. Only a few more days left to wait!

Gladys Knight also sang "I Know Better," and sang it well, on one of the Pips' great early LPs, "Feelin' Bluesy."

I´m really excited about the stuff from the fourth CD. I know I´m a special Marvelettes-Fan, I love Gladys on lead and I think Motown did the right thing when they changed with Wanda and she did a fine Job with Smokey-Songs like "Don´t mess with Bill" and "The hunter gets captured by the game". But in my opinion The Marvelettes had a chance for a real "Return of...." but Motown didn´t change the lead singer again.

The two Ann Bogan tracks are real pearls of the fourth CD, when I hear her songs is a little about a revolutuion with voice and music. She is caught in the Motown-Sound and try to break through and you hear it. It´s fabulos and glorius and a hint of a new time

Interesting observation on Ann Bogan. Visually it's reinforced by her appearance on the front cover of In Full Bloom. Wanda and Katherine are styled 60's glam, but Ann is more down to earth looking.

Listening to the snippet on Amazon, I'd say that "Breakthru [[I've Got My Freedom)" with Ann Bogan on lead is going to be a real standout!

[cheekylincs]

I'm loving the sound of Why'd You Do It! Can't wait to hear it in it's entirety

Have pre-ordered via Amazon. Not happy about the price, but this is a MUST have...Paulo xxx

I know this she has forgotten her wig and she´s looking more 70´s styling as 60`s. During the whole photo session Ann is without her wig. You will see her again in the afro-look style in their black and white dresses.
