Thanks for the time and effort in putting this together. I'm already 6 tracks into it - fantastic.

Thanks for this- looking forward to listening ! 

BLISS !!!

Cheers Chalky

Nice one!

Awesome mate still got  copies of  the original tapes a lot of the 1st  batch came from  

Edited January 13, 20196 yr by speedlimit

Made one fcuk up with Tammi Terrell 🙄

Nice one. 

Great , some I did not know too 👍

 

I stupidly included an Lp track in the mix, I did think at the time it was an Lp track but didn't check.  I have now taken it out and added Gladys Knight - Here Are The Pieces Of My Broken Heart instead.  I have also taken a Kim Weston track out and added an Ivy Jo track so that hopefully it is now listenable worldwide, it was prohibited in the USA because of the 5 Kim Weston tracks.

Thanks for changing, I was going to have to break out the VPN to listen is the States 😀👍

Awesome work Chalky, I Went straight to mixcloud after a tip off so missed this thread originally. Marvin Gaye blew my head clean off.

How could you leave out The Monitors' "Crying In The Night", Carolyn Crawford's "Lover Boy" and "Until You Came Along", The Contours' "Baby Hit and Run", Tammi Terrell's "All I Do (Is Think of You)" and The Marvelettes' "I Should Have Known Better"?

I'd have used Jimmy Ruffin's great vocal version of "On The Avenue".  What about Shorty Long's great "A Woman Just Won't Do Right"?

Crikey, I'm just grateful for 60 tracks that are there many first timers for me, sterling work. Credit where its due and its due.👍

I quite easily left those selections out. I only had 60 choices and many wee made by friends. I could probably have done another 60 quite easily. In fact if we can come up with 60 more I will do part two.

Is that not an Lp track though?

Crikey again, its actually a 45 which I didn't know about, must try harder. Not sure about LP or not

45 is one of Levine's boots

Can’t wait for next one !! Thanks for compiling it 

Brenda Holloway's "Crying Game" listed above is VERY CLOSE to her unreleased Motown song, "Crying Time".  Did she actually sing two songs with those titles, or is "Crying Game" an error?

It is Crying Time, I think it is titled incorrectly on the Cd and I just didn’t think to correct it.

Got it mixed up with the British film, "The Crying Game".

One for sale at the moment, £250 🤣😂, that must be a record!

As it seems to be the time to celebrate 60 years of Motown I thought I'd give this a bump once more.

JJ Barnes ain't it the truth Brilliant same sound track as show me I think ginger has one on a 11 inch 

56 is probably Crying Time (not that really matters) 😉

Thank you for the list

 

EDIT I just read the previous posts
