Doesn't add anything, it's an alternative version...

Haven't listened to this one.. not a big instrumental fan... had to laugh at Fleetwood last year when someone played a Motown 'instrumental' which had obviously just had the lead vocals taken off.. could still hear the backing vocals.. and everyone was singing along so it just turned into soul karaoke!! :shhh:

Is it from that cassette that came out about 12 years ago?

Yes, nothing gets past you does it Pete! It accompanied a book about Jamerson called Standing in the Shadows of Motown; if you see one I'd snap it up.

I vaguely remember it, I thought it was some kind of 'teach yourself Motown bass' thing!

Well i like it Pete :shhh:

Check out, if you already have'nt, the instumental version of Barry White-For You, Ill Do, Anything You Want Me To. You might just like it.

All respect mate but I can't stand Barry White and didn't he have instrumentals on all his B sides anyway?

It's a booklet in which some of the worlds "greatest bassists" celebrate the art of Jamerson. Comes with Cds or C90 tape that compliment the text. On Ebay regularly. Great artifact to have. Recommended to any Motown Fan who ain't got one yet.

PS. The Motown "instrumentals" are great imo. Doesn't add anything, just gives you a chance to appreciate the musical side of things. Let's have more I say!! :shhh:

I've heard the backing track to "Ain't No Mountain..." in a recording studio broken down into the component tracks (drums, bass, guitar, strings etc). The emotional power of the tracks was seriously amazing even without vocals and lyrics.
