Motown Album Tracks Worthy Of A 45 Release In 2024


Go to solution Solved by John Hart,

Recommended Posts

“We’ll find a way” Blinky and Edwin Starr

”You can depend on me” Brenda Holloway

”Seeing is believing” Marvelettes

Don’t think these got a 45 release.

Unless I've missed this somehow, possibly one of the best Temptations unreleased 45's IMHO-

Hey Girl (I believe from the Cloud Nine LP ....Awesome and unreleased track as far as I'm aware)) and not the Hey Girl I like your style 45-Gordy 7131...

And an Anomoly in so much as it was identified as the Contours, but an unreleased track  called "I can't stop the feeling"??? I'd love to know who the artist(e)(s) are?

OK bending the rules a little bit. I think US was LP only but sneeked out on a German (?) 45.

 

Close. Philippines 45.

Also on 45 from the third or fourth UK motown box set a few years back.

Freddie Scott's original version is simply Magistral though... Only not Motown.

Martha & The Vandellas - " I Will Follow You " appeared on a 33 rpm 6 track card picture sleeve mini lp or jukebox single if you like....effectively a 45...but not!

A thunderous tune, fantastic orchestration and Reeves belting out the lyrics.

Personally, never seen it come up for sale, have the album though. Assume it got played at Stafford quite a bit but, that being a long time ago now, its probably forgotten by the vast majority.

Save a breath ; what it's commonly loved by us is the 7" format ! 😉 45rpm better but 33 can be acceptable sometimes. Aimed for diner's Juke Boxes those 6 tracks mastering are disappointing when played on proper home phono gear IME. But they're cute.

Low in gain and thin on bass (low and mid frequency response are weakened for the highs to take over) begging to press up volume to not so good playback quality. On DJ sound system playback quality is often mediocre enough not to disadvantage those too much through filters.

I have it on a Phillipino Motown 45, but along with several other Phillipino releases, the basic sound quality is not the best!

The only Motown track I can think of with that title is this -

That's really good, never heard it before. What great lead singers The Temptations had.

The Supremes - Don’t Let True Love Die - unissued ,only on a couple of CDs I think .Magnificent backing track with a superb Mike Terry sax break 

 

Yes Eddie, and well over 3 minutes long!, had that double cd as well....Hip-Oselect really were a champion, for the best part of 15 years, this is a great Supremes collection, first time this track appeared anywhere, a handful of others turned up on the original 25th Anniversary vinyl double album, having them all collectively under one roof is a tribute to this company's thorough research of the Motown archive, something they did to perfection with every group and artist..this track definitely warrants a 45 release.

Nice, on the 'Four Tops - Soul Spin' LP.  So this version is Frank Wilson?

Well there you have it, i stand corrected..apologies to all concerned and surprised....i was not aware of this release and its actually 6 years old now!

A bit much even if youre a completist, to buy a 4 lp box set just to acquire the track talked about, but of course there are numerous other numbers present that could be played out and perhaps warrant a 7 release....however, this is quite possibly the best candidate👍

I just purchased the Supremes box set of 4 LPs. Cheapest I could find was £70, and that was only by making an offer.

"It,s All Over";    The Funk Brothers ,band track ,is the winner for me ! Would buy this in a heartbeat on 7 incher   (with the   Isley,s   Vocal ,if found, on the Flip if not Brenda, "Without Love "). In my  Earlier  post I dismissed the Vol 5 , Cellarfull of motown ,how did I miss this Stone cold Killer Instrumental?

Perhaps because I skipped through tracks on initial play, and missed the magic arrival of heavenly piano and strings. Well done Mr Hubbard you are an Angel! John , Malaga ,Spain.
