Does any body know.??

I was asked this on Friday and I sure as sh*t don't.

But I remember reading an interview with JJ Barnes in Blues and Soul where he was asked if he actually did any recording at Motown.

He said he was in the Studio doing tracks EVERY DAY!!

So answers please, on the back of a crisp new fiver

I have no real idea as to hown much unissued Motown still remains, but I'm willing to bet it must run into thousands of sides.

When Spectrum or Hip-O release their latest (and always welcome!) compilations of archive material, they almost never issue:

1) Ballads

2) 70s or 80s sides

3) Anything older than about 1964, unless it's by a 'front line act like the Supremes, Temptations, Four Tops, Miracles or Marvin

There must be stacks of unissued material by the likes of La Brenda Ben, Mike and the Modifiers, Conny Van Dyke, Lee and the Leopards and tons more that will probably never see the light of day because it doesn't sound either Northern or Motown enough.

There are still things on those old bootleg 70s cassettes that circulated prolifically, and that have never been issued, too. We only got Kim Weston's "Absent Minded Lover" this year - and what will it take to prise David Ruffin's "Angel Doll" out of the vaults?

If those are the tapes that had 'Suspicion', 'It's Too Late', 'Lonely Lover' etc that were around during the Stafford era - then I still have one with a track listing. Would be interested to see how many are still 'un-issued' - will dig it out and post up track listing.

Seeing as i got to the States before getting a chance to listen to any of these wouldn't mind a copy on tape or cd Im willing to trade or pay

I have loads of tapes with the unisued stuff on and have no doubt we haven't even scratched the surface of whats in there. Hp-O-Select's box sets are fantastic and throw up gems every time, as do the Cellar full of Motown Cds and the lovely Jo Wallaces releases as well. Wasn't Angel Doll released on a legit CD? Will scurry into the vault of pleasure that is my music room and see what I can find.

This was on the "Emperors of soul" cd box set......

I'll have to find someone with a tape to tape as I haven't had one for years! I'll see if anyone I know has one and let you know (no need for payment or trade )

Sold a Jobete music company triple album,last year for £400,fantastic Lamont Dozier un-issued,lots of big name`s featured on the album,awesome to say the least.

Cost me £1,still sealed,with another 6 Jobete company LPs £7 the lot,still got the others,only one not there out of a set,F Wilson........mmmmmmmmmm,i wonder if it had another version of "do i love you",on it? .

Got a Val Mckenner,and somebody else?,full of unissued half trakc`s,if anybody is intrested maybe i could put each side up as a six pakc?.

Done it. There's eleven

think a figure of 30 000 tapes under motown section in universal vault was quoted in a interesting radio US 15 min interview clip from a couple of years ago with Harry Weinger

figures a start if want to try a guess I suppose

what happened to the radio series that was planned

was word about it a couple of years ago

something like motown lost and found the untold story

was supposed to be a 13 or so (?) part series

did it just sail past me or did it ever get aired ?
