I have 7 CDs of unreleased Motown tracks, but some of the tracks have now been released. The quality of some is very poor, but the main contributor seems to be Ivy Jo. Why was this.

Were these rough cuts to get the Funk Bros comfortable with the tune? Was it to give artists some inkling how the vocals would best fit the instruments?

His rough version of Marvin's Its a Desperate Situation is brilliant. Also, an unreleased rough cut of Babs McNair YGLMB that is 4 minutes long is also terrific.

These would be demo versions to let the artist know how the song was to be performed. :thumbsup: were did you get them from? blush.gif

Can you tell me how to post the sound file and I'll put a couple on here when I get home tonight.

I'm on dial up at home, will that make a difference.

I got them off a mate who's mate is a record reviewer for a large regional newspaper. I believe Jo Wallace has actually contacted him about using some of the tracks, but that might just be a rumour.

Do you have Ivy Joe's "Desperate Situation" without the bleeps? A superb track anyway.
