2CD Set Physical & Digital UPC 00042288240099
The Superb 4th Instalment of The Acclaimed Lost & Found Series, featuring 50 Stunning Never-Heard-Before Motown Treasures from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Brenda Holloway, Marvin Gaye, Edwin Starr, The Spinners Plus Many More. Also included on this 2 disc set is a beautifully designed 20 page booklet with detailed sleeve notes and annotations by Motown connoisseur Paul Nixon, plus a collection of stunning artist photos from the Motown photo archive.
With no sign of the goodies drying up in the Motown Vaults, it's with great pleasure, after exhaustive research, that we bring you the fourth volume in this stunning series that can proudly boast the release in total of over 200 vaulted examples of Detroit's finest sounds that astonishingly never made it past the recording studio.
Featured are the usual 'out on the floor' thumping Motown scorchers plus newly discovered ballads and sophisticates. Some of the greatest discoveries on this collection include the flawless unheard 'Why Don't You Come Home' recorded in 1968 by the child prodigy Stevie Wonder. Also featured is an absolute stomper 'Born To Be Bad' from UK Favourite Edwin Starr, and possibly the most special discovery of all, an undeniable classic 'Three Times Loser' recorded in 1963 by the unimpeachable Marvin Gaye, proving that despite the declaration that just about every vaulted Gaye track has been discovered, the Cellarful of Motown series continues to unlock a piece of music history.
Both Brenda Holloway and Barbara McNair close a CD each with examples of how artists explored their repertoire, while there are more than enough core Motown floor fillers to excite and seduce the staunchest Motown fan.
This sensational 2 disc set proves that the Quality Control team at Motown potentially missed many great recordings that could have become huge hits. The mystery remains as to how these fantastic gems were consigned to the Motown Vaults, but their loss is your gain some 40 years down the road! We defy you to keep your feet still as you listen to these newly restored treasures that have been lovingly rescued thanks to the grace of modern technology.
