Hehe.




The music press release;
We've all heard stories about treasures and lost masterpieces turning up in an attic or cellar but how often does it happen? Well this album discovers not one priceless treasure but 40 of them. Many of the rare tracks collected here have been changing hands for large sums of money on the bootleg market, with inferior pressings and poor quality recordings. Here at last is an official release of priceless tunes, straight from the Detroit vault, fully endorsed by Motown, each track lovingly restored from the original master tapes. Motown collectors have been waiting for these tracks to surface on CD for years!

Collectable gem's gathered here include Earl Van Dyke's rousing instrumental version of 'He Was Really Saying Something' and Tammi Terrell's fantastic rendition of the Stevie Wonder composition 'All I Do Is Think About You' (which turned up almost 20 years later on his own 'Hotter Than July' album!). Marvin Gaye's version of 'Lucky Lucky Me' was one of the greatest Motown discoveries of the 90's, whilst the cut featured here boasting Jimmy Ruffin on vocals has taken nearly 40 years to be unearthed! And of course we couldn't forget the sadly neglected Marv Johnson who is represented here with his distinctive cover of The Temptations' tune 'Save My Love For A Rainy Day'.

With the exception of Jnr Walker's 'Riding High On Love', which itself makes its debut appearance on CD, all tracks here are previously unreleased, never having seen the light of day on an official release until now. Initial orders will come in a limited edition slipcase. The package will include a 16-page full colour booklet complete with photos and in-depth liner notes and credits for each featured track.

It's took me this long to respond to your post above Big3.
Due to 'shock' for the most part, that and not knowing quite what to make of your comment.
Apologies for taking so long.

If you mean by "Motown Lite" that the track 'I Don't Like To Lose' is a lightweight, sugary tune, then I beg to differ.
Where in Motown is a song dedicated to a man hellbent on winning at all costs?
If you mean the tempo isn't as upbeat as some Northern Soul tracks, then you'd be correct.

Northern Soul doesn't limit itself to the smaller independent labels, in fact quite a lot the music played on the Northern Soul scene also comes from the big Motown labels. The criteria being that the tune is danceable to suit Northern tastes.
These discarded 'Motown' tracks (Motown produced so much material, that the songs released by them and went on to become successful hits, only represent the tip of a very large iceberg) were salvaged from the archives and given new life in England...the true home of soul.

If I'm wide of the mark in interpreting your post, please enlighten me.

Urban Hat€monger ?
