 Rating:  - Good StuffMotown's valuable Lost And Found series has been handed over to Hip-O-Select, who have expanded the format to double-CD sets, in this case featuring the ten-year tenure with the Gordy label of the fabulous Martha and the Vandellas (latterly Martha Reeves and the Vandellas). An unfortunate side-effect of this for UK customers is that the releases are somewhat harder to find, especially since Hip-O-Select seem not to export directly to here, and often pricey. They are, however, well worth tracking down. The Motown vaults have been heavily plundered in recent years and it is now too well known that the quality of the hitherto unreleased material is unbelievably high to warrant expounding yet again. I would like to think there is another ...

Big mistake on my part as I have since discovered. And this wonderful addition to the Motown 'Lost & Found' series confirms that over & over - did I mention that it's fantastic?!? Many of these songs are as good as anything released by Motown at the time on any artist, from rough R & B to smooth show tunes, from raw early cuts to slick covers, Martha excels. Sure, there are a few items that are more curio than quality, but in the main if you're a fan of the joyous & irresistible pop/soul that typified Motown at its '60s peak you're ...

They release limited issues of 5000 a time of some old and some unreleased albums on CD at 15 to 20 dollars a time, or 30 to 40 for a double like this. They do mostly Motown and R&B stuff. They sell directly on the internet, but only to North America, so us Brits need a third party to buy from. I suggest you have a good look at their site to see what is available, then come back to Amazon for the best prices you are likely to find. On to this album. I find it unbelievable that music of this quality remained unreleased for so very long. After a string of hits that helped Motown to grow, Martha and her group were relegated to the background when The Supremes hit it big. I don't blame ... Read More: |
