Howdy Folks! Tonight, on "Nightflight", Part TWO of a tribute to Motown's Marvelous MARVELETTES, with what I believe is the WORLD PREMIERE airing of the Brand New Universal/Hip-O release "The Marvelettes-
Forever More-The Complete Motown Albums Volume Two"! And if THAT isn't enough for you, how about if I invite the producer of the "Complete Motown Albums", Harry Weinger, to "Nightflight"? Well...I DID! And
Harry was very generous to agree to join us on the air! Thanks Harry!

Those of us who have been lucky enough to have obtained the compilation know what an amazing set it is. And those of you who will hear it for the first time on "Nightflight" ...well, you're in for a TREAT!

A couple of things to note...I will be posting a sister thread to this for you to post any questions you may have for Harry about the new release...so that Harry can check them out before the show, so do post your questions there...not here. Thanks! And, I request politely that there be no phone calls during the time that Harry is on the air...I'll be on the phone with him and won't be able to answer your
calls.
But please use this thread for chat and requests, as it may be hard to get to all of the Marvelettes 2, and I really want to play what you'd like.
Phewww!
So join me...and Harry Weinger and The Marvelettes Tuesday evening for some great MOTOWN and great talk....on "Nightflight"....on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and streaming live worldwide at www.womr.org

Thanks!
John

Hey John, looking forward to what I know will be a fabulous show tonight. "The Marvelettes Forever More" says it all! Plus an interview with the always sightful Mr. Weinger, fantastic! If you're taking requests how about "Keep Off, No Trespassing" - "Pink" mono version of course - and/or "Our Lips Just Seem To Rhyme Everytime" from "Return of". It's really wonderful having these albums again, and for the first time in digital splendor. See you on the radio!

**midnight johnny** · 12-13-2011, 09:48 PM

Could we please hear "You Lost the Sweetest Boy" and the alternate version of "Don't Make Hurting Me a Habit," both of which are on Disc 4?

Thanks so much!

**sophisticated_soul** · 12-13-2011, 10:18 PM

"Barefootin'" was the perfect kick off to the fantastic Pink album!

I'm here too. "Keep Off No Trespassing". I would love to hear The Hunter Gets Captured [[extended version), When You're Young And In Love and Our Lips Seem to Rhyme.

Welcome Kenneth!!!

**JimBagley** · 12-13-2011, 10:24 PM

This version of When You're Young And In Love is also magical.

**kenneth** · 12-13-2011, 10:24 PM

The bass lines on these Mono mixes is just awesome...

**carlo** · 12-13-2011, 10:25 PM

Which version is this? I wasn't paying attention because I'm cleaning up my room at the same time [[lol).

**patty tomato** · 12-13-2011, 10:26 PM

hi everybody

**carole cucumber** · 12-13-2011, 10:28 PM

I'se lovin it'. Bring on the esteemed Mr. Weinger!

**soulballad** · 12-13-2011, 10:28 PM

Great version!

It seems like the group Love Unlimited took on what could have been the Marvelettes sound of the 70's

I've been on the wrong thread in life several times. These recordings are great.

Hey there Patty and Carole Cuke! Welcome!

**sophisticated_soul** · 12-13-2011, 10:32 PM

I think The Return of the Marvelettes would have been very marketable as a solo album, with say a title like "The Marvelous Wanda Rogers!". That may have been enough name recognition.

**kenneth** · 12-13-2011, 10:33 PM

Could we also hear the Mono version of "The Stranger"? That's one of the rare themes for Motown...about a one night stand. You just know Berry Gordy wouldn't have let Diane Ross sing that one.

**soulballad** · 12-13-2011, 10:35 PM

"I Know Better" in mono is superior to the stereo version. You can really hear the strings clearly.

**kenneth** · 12-13-2011, 10:42 PM

I had looked on Amazon and thought I saw some great reviews already, but realize that's for Vol. 1. Be sure to put some reviews out there guys.

**johnjeb** · 12-13-2011, 10:44 PM

Looking forward to a "Marvelous" evening.

**carole cucumber** · 12-13-2011, 10:45 PM

I don't have my copy yet.. boo hoo. Is 'I Can't Wait Til Summer Comes' the same song that Mary Wilson lists in Dreamgirl ? Did Jean Terrell record vocals to the track?

**JimBagley** · 12-13-2011, 10:50 PM

The Lewis Sisters! Great comment, John. On a scale of 1 to 100 regarding singing ability, the Lewis Sisters are a 1.

**kenneth** · 12-13-2011, 10:52 PM

The Mowest is called Our Lives Are Shaped by Those We Love.

**carlo** · 12-13-2011, 10:54 PM

Who are these Lewis Sisters? Don't they have a song on one of the Motown Treasures comp's? I will have to check...

**sophisticated_soul** · 12-13-2011, 11:10 PM

Wow, I forgot or didn't realize that Valerie's "Exposed" album actually predate's Marvin's "What's Going On" since they were released about the same time. But indeed the "Exposed" album does list the musicians, technically making it the first Motown to do so. Interesting.

**kenneth** · 12-13-2011, 11:15 PM

Please ask Harry if there's any live shows in the vault from the Marvelettes later years.

**carlo** · 12-13-2011, 11:20 PM

LOL!! I'm laughing at Midnight Johnny's description of the green colour of this set!!

**carlo** · 12-13-2011, 11:22 PM

I have a last minute question for Harry, Midnight Johnny. If you can...please ask him about the 2 CD Marvelettes Anthology. In 2009, when Universal launched the Motown 50 website, it listed a 2 CD Marvelettes Anthology in the release schedule. With Vol. 2, we now have everything there is to have...but I'm just curious what happened to this release?? Thanks!

**sophisticated_soul** · 12-13-2011, 11:28 PM

I like "Three Months", I loved the doo wop influence in early Motown recordings.

**carole cucumber** · 12-13-2011, 11:30 PM

Carlo,
I believe the 2 CD Anthology was proposed as a release for the U.K.; the albums collection- a U.S. release.
Around that time, there seemed to have been a shift in the direction the U.K. arm- then led by Darryl Easley - was taking.
Perhaps Harry will elaborate further.
