Prodigal Records

[woodward]

I do have a mint copy of Do The Choo Choo, but I did not document when it was released or when I bought it; however, I was checking in The Motown Story by Don Waller and he includes a discography of Blaze Records which only includes Do the Choo Choo and Don indicates the date of release as 9/24/1969. He further states on Prodigal that ". . . Motown took a final fling at the pop market with its Prodigal Records subsidiary [[1975-1979) . . . The surprise came in 1982, when a tune that was originally issued on Prodigal five years earlier, the dewy ballad "I've Never Been To Me" sold a million copies for Motown Records . . ." More food for thought.

The Motown Encyclopedia indicates Do the Choo Choo was released in 1975. Who knows?
