Is there a physical release or are they just digital?

Just digital (as far as I know).

But as many of the tracks are a 'lot obscure', I'd guess that physical CD's wouldn't make economic sense.

My grandson asked for a computer game for Xmas ......... bought it from Amazon (even though the blighters pay less tax than me) ....

.... and received some credit to buy digital music as a bonus ............

Know which tracks I'll be using my 'credit' to purchase !!!

Still no Edward Earling??? Only 2 Pronouns, and NO Sons of Zion!!!! Oh well, nice to see so many Creations, Freddie Gorman and Hattie Littles. And a bunch of Mike and The Modifiers! What about that so-called "enough Linda Griner cuts to fill an album" ? How come they still haven't seen the light of day? And what about those 1972 cuts by Gwen Owens? We should still have lots of nice surprises coming our way over the next several years (if the Motown gods are kind.

Robb, Those 1972 Gwen Owens tracks were cut at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio for Clayton Ivey and Terry Woodford (Motown South).

Two eventually came out on Casablanca ("You Better Watch Out", etc) with two of the others (with Gwen's vocals removed) escaping as instros on the 'Motown Magic Disco Machine' LPs (at least so I believe), so that only 1 track has completely remained in the vaults.

Motown cut records at Muscle Shoals in 1972??? Wal - I'll be a blue-nosed gopher. If I hadn't up 'n moved residence to Den Haag, i might'a knowed that! Pobably too "modern-sounding" for me in any case. Early 1972 Detroit-recorded cuts with The Funk Brothers was probably "The Last of the Summer Wine" for me.

The unreleased Motown mp3 tracks aren't now available till Monday (17th) ...........

.. but if you click on UK Amazon then, you'll be able to listen to snippets of every track (& buy the ones you like).

_{So the Marvin tracks have never been released on any other compilation ? Interesting !}
