For Motown enthusiasts – a future collector’s item
Hitsville in Detroit have recently pressed their very first 45 of their Legacy Vinyl Project, My Girl by The Temptations. This single is to celebrate the creation of the iconic Temptations song, written by Ronnie White and William “Smokey” Robinson of the Miracles, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of its release. There will be further releases to follow so will be great for Motown collectors
With interviews recorded in Motown’s legendary Studio A at Hitsville U.S.A., tracks remixed and remastered at Motown Museum, and records pressed at Third Man Pressing, the Legacy Vinyl Project is the first 45rpm single with new content captured in Studio A to be recorded, pressed and released from Detroit in more than 50 years.
Side A (The “My Girl” Interviews) tells the story of the song’s origin through the voices of Smokey Robinson (Co-Writer), Otis Williams (Temptations), and Paul Riser (Arranger) with interviews conducted in Studio A in Detroit where “My Girl” was recorded 60 years ago.
Side B (My Girl Remastered) was created using the original multi-track master tapes which were shipped from California to Detroit to be remastered for the very first time since it was recorded in 1965 at Histville.
A limited run of 1,500 in blue vinyl have been pressed at Third Man Records in Detroit
The packaging includes an essay by journalist and author Adam White, and a historical retrospective by photographer Don Paulsen who recounts being in the dressing room when Smokey Robinson taught “My Girl” to the Temptations between shows at the Apollo Theatre in 1964.
These are only available from The Motown Museum in Detroit and are limited to 10 per person
I will have 10 copies of this when I return from Detroit on 22nd July, so if anyone would like to reserve a copy at £40 including shipping, please message me
