Hi gang,
As we know, the last two Marvelettes albums, In Full Bloom and Return of the Marvelettes were really WAnda and the Andantes.
So I have always wondered why Motown would spend the time and the money to put out these products when the group was no longer touring and the records were no longer selling? What was the point?
Also, same for Martha - the final albums had no market except for die hard fans. So why would Motown put them out when there was no market?
Perhaps someone on the forum can explain why the company would spend mondey and know, in advance, that there were not going to be sales to offset the costs?
And why did Motown stop having the Marvelettes tour? They had enough hit records in the later years that could have allowed them to tour and make money?
So why put out product that would not sell, why not allow them to perform - what was the point?
